| Abstract |
A new enid land snail, Petraeomastus liuzhengpingi Z.-G. Chen & Z.-Y. Chen, sp. n. is described from Danba County, Sichuan Province, China based on shell and genital morphology. The new species displays a varied shell morphology with some individuals exhibiting a completely detached last whorl, which is the first record of this phenomenon in the family Enidae. The discovery contributes to our understanding of the high species diversity of Enidae in the dry-hot river valleys in China. |
