Amphorella hypselia is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial gastropod mollusc in the family Ferussaciidae.
(Original description in Latin) Cecilioides acicula (O. F. Müller, 1774) is similar, but with a shell that is twice as large, more solid, and robust, and is thus completely distinct in appearance.
It differs from Amphorella gracilis (R. T. Lowe, 1831) by having a more solid, non-hyaline shell, an aperture that is obliquely produced upward and backward, and a columella that is prominently truncated versus notched at the base. [2]
Conchology is the study of mollusc shells. Conchology is one aspect of malacology, the study of molluscs; however, malacology is the study of molluscs as whole organisms, whereas conchology is confined to the study of their shells. It includes the study of land and freshwater mollusc shells as well as seashells and extends to the study of a gastropod's operculum.
George Perry was a 19th-century English naturalist, a malacologist.
