Amphidromus cruentatus is a species of air-breathing tree snail, an arboreal gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae. ^[1]

Description

The height of the shell attains 33.4 mm, its diameter 16.5 mm.

(Original description in Latin) The sinistral shell is imperforate and oblong-conical. Its surface appears smooth and glossy, displaying a pale straw-colored hue that becomes greenish at the base. The apex presents a rosy coloration and is finely dotted with reddish markings. It consists of 6.5-7 slightly convex whorls, with the body whorl being ventrose and obtusely angled, and exhibiting fine ribbing on its back. The spire is a little shorter than the aperture, and the suture shows an orange color. The columella is vertical or slightly receding. The aperture is oblong, angled at the base, and milky white inside. The peristome is somewhat expanded and is tinged purplish on the inside and violet on the outside near the suture. Its margins are joined by a thin, purple callus, and the columellar margin is dilated. ^[2]

Distribution

The type locality is Cambodia, ^[3] and the species is also present in Sekong Province and Champasak Province in Laos. ^[4]
