Chloritis biomphala is a species of land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae.
The type locality is Seram Island ("in insula Ceram"), Indonesia. [2] Other locality include Sulawesi, Indonesia. [2]
The shell has moderate size for the genus, brown, without hairs, completely flat, umbilicated, the ends of the peristome connected with a thin callus. [2] The width of the shell is 17–20 mm. [2]
The species is probably described after more than one specimen (a number is not given in the original description, but in the dimensions 10–11 mm is given for the shell height). [2] The species has been never recorded again. [2]
Sulawesi, also known as Celebes, is an island in Indonesia. One of the four Greater Sunda Islands, and the world's 11th-largest island, it is situated east of Borneo, west of the Maluku Islands, and south of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago. Within Indonesia, only Sumatra, Borneo, and Papua are larger in territory, and only Java and Sumatra are more populous.
The crested roundleaf bat is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is endemic to Indonesia.
Amphidromus is a genus of tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Camaenidae. The shells of Amphidromus are relatively large, from 25 mm (0.98 in) to 75 mm (3.0 in) in maximum dimension, and particularly colorful. During the 18th century, they were among the first Indonesian land snail shells brought to Europe by travelers and explorers. Since then, the genus has been extensively studied: several comprehensive monographs and catalogs were authored by naturalists and zoologists during the time period from the early 19th to the mid 20th centuries. Modern studies have focused on better understanding the evolutionary relationships within the group, as well as solving taxonomic problems.
