Auriculella chamissoi
Auriculella chamissoi is a species of tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks, belonging to the family Achatinellidae.
Description
The length of the shell attains 8 mm, its diameter 3.5 mm.The shell is subperforate, oblong, and pyramidal in shape. It is somewhat solid and, when viewed under a lens, reveals finely sculpted spiral striae. It is covered in a brown epidermis that is marked by faint, obsolete streaks.
The spire is elongated-conic and terminates in a somewhat obtuse apex. There are seven and a half whorls, which are relatively flat; the body whorl is nearly equal to two-fifths of the total length of the shell and is slightly compressed at the base.
The aperture is only slightly oblique and is ear-shaped. The parietal lamella is strong and branches downward on the outer side. The columellar fold is smooth, slightly twisted, and white. Finally, the peristome is whitish and somewhat expanded.
