Description
editThe diameter of the shell attains 12 mm, its height 7 mm.
The shell of this species deviates from Aegista mitanensis (Godwin-Austen, 1889), notably in its broader, less elevated shape, accompanied by a smoother, less pronounced angle at the periphery, and a significantly wider umbilicus. [2]
Distribution
editThis species occurs in Assam, India.
