Diagnosis.
A large, low or high concave-conical
Angustopila
species with a wide umbilicus, dense spiral striation, and two strong apertural barriers (elevated parietal, elongated or pointed lower palatal).
Description.
Shell large for the genus, wider than high or rarely slightly higher than wide; off-white, concave-conical, shell height highly variable from strongly depressed to triangular, with regularly growing whorls except for the last one; last whorl widest from apertural view; protoconch consists of 1.25-1.5 whorls, spirally striated with the exception of the first whorl; teleoconch with strong, rather dense, irregular radial ribs and equidistantly-spaced, dense spiral striae (ca. 19-21 on body whorl from apertural view); whorls 4-4.25, rounded with tendency towards shouldered contour (in apertural view, the body whorl is slightly pushed from baso-lateral direction); aperture oblique to shell axis in lateral view; umbilicus wide; aperture suboval; peristome expanded, not reflected; parietal callus not detached from penultimate whorl; parietal tooth elevated, straight, starts in some distance from peristome; lower palatal tooth runs parallel with the peristome on the lower 1/2 of the palatal region, in some specimens pointed, in others ridge-like, situated inside from peristome.
Measurements (in mm).
H = 0.85-1.12, D: 1.04-1.14, H/D*100 = 77.3-109.6 (
n
= 18), RUD = 29.0-33.3 (
n
= 5).
Differential diagnosis.
Angustopila majuscula
sp. nov. is similar to this species by the large shell size, wide umbilicus and the possession of two apertural denticles. However, it has a convex conical shell shape, denser spiral striation and the palatal tooth is situated further up in the aperture. See also under
A. pustulata
sp. nov.
Etymology.
Named after the palatal tooth that runs parallel with the peristome.
Distribution.
Angustopila parallela
sp. nov. is known from two localities in northern Vietnam (Lạng
Sơn
and Thanh
Hoa
Provinces) (Fig.
19
).
Remarks.
Shells from population 2020/57 are generally more depressed than those of 2020/58, although the two groups overlap. The distance between these populations is ca. 300 m (!) in a straight line. Most shells of population 2020/41 possess an elongated palatal tooth, whereas that tooth is pointed in most shells of the other two populations. However, this difference is not exclusive, because there are individuals with a pointed palatal tooth in population 2020/41 and a more elongated tooth in the other two populations. Thus, even if the geographic distance is relatively large overall (ca. 280 km in a straight line), the morphological differences are insufficient to distinguish the population 2020/41 from the other two.
