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

(Original description) The sinistral shell is broadly conical, exhibiting a slight perforation and a thin structure. Its surface appears obliquely striate and somewhat angulate at the periphery. Comprising six slightly convex whorls, the apex presents a brown color. The apical whorls are white, transitioning to a pale lemon-color on the lower whorls. The columella is straight and rather thin, slightly expanded and white at its upper part. The outer lip displays a pale purple-brown hue and is expanded and slightly reflected. [2]
This species lives in trees.
The type locality of this species is Borneo.
