Amphidromus cochinchinensis is a species of medium-sized air-breathing tree snail, an arboreal gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae.[1]
Description
The length of the shell attains 39 mm, its diameter 17 mm.
The solid shell is imperforate, fusiform-ovate, smooth and glossy. It is pale sulfur-yellow or whitish. The spire is somewhat convex-turreted. The apex somewhat blunt. The suture is smooth and pale. The shell contains 6 to 7 whorls, the upper ones rather flat, the following ones more convex, the body whorl nearly equaling 2/3 of the length, attenuate at the base and somewhat compressed. The columella is rope-like and slightly twisted. The aperture is slightly oblique and elliptical-oval. The peristome is somewhat thickened, with the right lip shortly expanded, the columellar margin dilated and adnate.[2][a]
