广西壮族自治区东北部绒粒螺属一新种记述(腹足纲:柄眼目:坚螺科)

Abstract

A new species of camaenid land snail, Trichelix yao n. sp., is described from Guangxi, China, based on its morphological characteristics. Trichelix yao n. sp. differs from all known congeners by its distinctly depressed, non-biconcave shell with prominent furrows, a palatal fold that does not extend to the aperture, a basal fold that reaches the aperture and forms a tooth. This discovery extends the known distribution of Trichelix in southern China and helps bridge the distribution gap of this genus in Guangxi.
