Name
Anaglyphula Rensch, 1932 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Anaglyphula Rensch, 1932: 122.
Diagnosis for the Sabah species
Land snails. Spire with a slight constriction about 1/2 whorl back of the aperture, consisting of a circular rim on the inner surface, on the outside this rim shines through as a thin, white line. Umbilicus without periomphalic thread. Peristome thickened.
Cross diagnosis
The presence of a constriction distinguishes Anaglyphula from Acmella. If this is not visible because the shell has turned opaque, the thickened peristome may serve as a distinguishing character.
Remarks
Originally included in the Valloniidae, a Pulmonate family. Its position in the Caenogastropoda was established by Vermeulen (1996)[1] and Vermeulen and Whitten (1998)[2], who found a thin, paucispiral operculum in Anaglyphula whitteni Vermeulen, 1996, as well as in Anaglyphula tiluana (Von Moellendorff, 1897) (= Acanthinula tiluana Von Moellendorff).
