Trichochloritis : Schileyko, 2007: 2113-2114, fig. 2032 a-c (partim). Type species. Helix brevidens Sowerby I, 1841: 25 (Puerto Galero, Philippines). Diagnosis. Shell depressed globular, apex not sunken, hairs or hair scars cover the entire shell, aperture with a basal denticle. Penis very thick-walled, with narrow lumen, internally with very large conic tubercles in main chamber; flagellum and epiphallus absent; vas deferens passes gradually enlarging into penis; retractor muscle inserts at curvature of vas deferens close to its joint with penis; penial sheath thin, surrounds upper two third part of penis; vagina shorter than penis, thick. Etymology. The name Dentichloritis refers to the presence of a denticle on the basal peristomal lip and the conchological similarity to Chloritis . Remarks. There are seven Trichochloritis species known from the Philippines ( Richardson 1985 ), and four of them have been photographed by Zilch (1966) . They differ from D. brevidens in the open umbilicus and the lack of denticle on the basal lip. Therefore, we retain them in Trichochloritis until ethanol-preserved specimens become available.
