Amphidromus smithii is a species of medium-sized air-breathing tree snail, an arboreal gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae. [1]
The height of the shell attains 39 mm, its diameter 17 mm.
(Original description) A sinistral shell, oblong-conical in form, imperforate, and relatively thin, exhibits a white base coloration. The suture is deeply impressed and subtly crenulated. The ultimate one and a half whorls are marked with closely spaced oblique green lines, which are intersected by fine spiral lines of a deeper hue. A slender dark green band along the suture of the lower whorls transitions to yellow towards the apex. The shell consists of seven subtly convex whorls, with the third whorl featuring two spiral rows of light brown spots. The columella is straight and minimally expanded at its upper end. The outer lip is narrowly flared and reflected. Both the lip and columella display a dark brown coloration. [2]
On trees. [3]
