Species of gastropod
Aulopoma itierii is a species of small land snail with an operculum, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Cyclophoridae. [1]
It is endemic to Sri Lanka.[2][3]
It is about 11-22mm in length.[4]
(Description in German by Kobelt) The height of the shell attains 11 mm, its diameter 22Â : 18 mm
The shell is widely umbilicate, nearly disc-shaped, thick-walled, and striated. It is whitish in color, with the upper side mottled in chestnut brown; the periostracum is usually preserved and olive-brown in hue. The apex is needle-like and blue-black. There are 4 to 4 ½ cylindrical whorls. The body whorl is detached at the front and descends. The aperture is oblique and circular, with a peristome that is continuous, straight, and sharp. The operculum is quite thick and consists of 5 widely striated whorls. [5]
