Amphidromus furcillatus is a species of medium-sized air-breathing tree snail, an arboreal gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae.[1]
Description
[edit]The length of the shell attains 35 mm, its diameter 18.2 mm.
The sinistral shell is long-conic, subperforate, smooth, and glossy. It exhibits a buff-white base color with grayish-brown flames. Comprising seven a little convex and regularly increasing whorls, the shell features a black tip at the apex. The body whorl measures two-fifths of the total length and appears uniform or spirally two-banded below, while being flammulate above with flames that bifurcate or trifurcate before disappearing at the suture. The aperture is ovate and white, showing the bands through it; the parietal wall is yellowish. The peristome is thin, reflexed, and white, joining the straight and slender columella at an angle, nearly covering the perforation. [2]
Habitat
[edit]This species lives in trees.
Distribution
[edit]The type locality of this species is Java, Indonesia.
