Aegista proxima is a species of air-breathing land snails, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod in the family Camaenidae. [1]

Description

The diameter of the shell attains 15 mm, its height 8.3mm.

This shell closely resembles Aegista friedeliana from Kyushu. It features an open umbilicus, a low conical spire, and an obtuse, subangular periphery. The surface is sculptured with rather weak, irregular growth striae and covered with a smooth brownish-yellow cuticle, lacking any scaly or thread-like appendages. The whorls increase very slowly, with the body whorl very slightly deflexed at the aperture. The oblique aperture is rounded-lunate, and the peristome is expanded, with the outer and basal margins narrowly reflexed. [2]

Distribution

This shell occurs in Korea. [3]
