Junn Kitt Foon, . and Tan Siong Kiat, . and Gopalasamy Reuben Clements, . A new species of Kenyirus (Pulmonata Camaenidae) from Peninsular Malaysia. pp. 25-34. ISSN 1823-3902
Abstract
We describe a new land snail species of the family Camaenidae from the BelumTemengor Forest Complex in the State of Perak Peninsular Malaysia. Kenyirus sheema sp. nov. is compared with its congener Kenyirus sodhii (Clements Tan 2012) which shares similar conchological characteristics such as a depressed apex convex base sub-triangular peristome angulated lip periphery and partiallycovered umbilicus through columellar margin dilation. The shell of the new species differs from K. sodhii by being more globular having rounded whorls with a less prominent peripheral keel and a distinctly rostrate outer lip is absent.
