Type material.
Holotype
.
[FJIQBC 19340] Shell height 21.0 mm, shell width 41.0 mm, height of aperture 14.0 mm, width of aperture 18.7 mm, 22 October 2014, collected from the type locality.
Paratype
.
[FJIQBC 19341-19343] 3 live specimens: 2 adults, 1 juvenile.
Type locality.
Laolida, Funing, Wenshan, Yunnan, China (
23°31'48.88"N
,
105°32'59.70"E
).
Etymology.
The name of the new species refers to the type locality.
Diagnosis.
Shell
.
Shell dextral, large, thin, fragile and lucent, low, and flat conical. 4.5 whorls, the front whorls increasing slowly. Spire relatively low. Body whorl rapidly expanded. Shell light yellowish brown with clear growth lines and spiral bands on the surface. Apex quite blunt. Suture shallow. The protoconch surface smooth, and some short clear growth lines near the inner side of suture under 32
x
stereomicroscope. Body whorl with carinate periphery, and a thin reddish brown band on the carina and several sparse bands below the carina. Aperture lunate, slightly descending. Peristome reflected, white, thin, sharp. Columellar lip reflected. Umbilicus reddish brown, large, only 1/5 covered. Inner lip attached to the body whorl, forming translucent callus.

Camaena funingensis
sp. nov. (holotype, FJIQBC 19340, Laolida, Funing, Yunnan, China)

Camaena gaolongensis
sp. nov. (holotype, FJIQBC 19353, Dayao, Gaolong, Guangxi, China)

D
Camaena yulinensis
sp. nov. (FJIQBC 19460, Longquan cave, Yulin, Guangxi, China). Scale bars: 10 mm.
Soft body
.
Yellowish brown with irregular black lines and spots. Tentacles dark.
Reproductive system
.
Bursa copulatrix oval and large with long and tapering pedunculus, expanded at the base. Flagellum long, tapering distally. Vas deferens short and thin. Epiphallus long, slightly thick. Penis retractor muscle medium length and slender, becoming wider at the end. Penis swollen and long, with longitudinal, slightly corrugated, strong and widely spaced pilasters internally. Verge ovate, opened terminally, and one clear crack on the verge surface extending from the terminal to the base.
Habitat.
The species was found on limestone.
Distribution.
Only known from the type locality.
Remarks.
Camaena funingensis
sp. nov. is characterized by a more oblate shape, lower spire, thin and fragile shell, and yellowish brown coloration, which are clearly different from the other dextral camaenids except
C. longsonensis
(Morlet, 1891),
C
jinpingensis
Chen, Zhang & Li, 1990, and
C. vorvonga
(Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1900) (
Chen et al. 1990
;
Schileyko 2011
). The shells of the above four species are distinct from
C. funingensis
in the following ways:
(1) The umbilicus of
C. funingensis
sp. nov. is only 1/5 covered, while that of
C. longsonensis
is almost covered by reflected columellar lip leaving only a narrow slit, and that of
C. jinpingensis
is fully covered.
(2)
C. funingensis
sp. nov. has several reddish brown bands at the bottom of the body whorl in addition to those on the carina, while only one thin reddish brown band is present on the carinate periphery of
C. vorvonga
.
(3) For
C. funingensis
sp. nov., the verge is ovate and has one clear crack on the surface extending to the base, which makes it stand out other dextral camaenids.

Camaena vorvonga
(Pingxiang, Guangxi, China)
B
Camaena jinpingensis
(Jinping, Yunnan, China)
C
Camaena longsonensis
(Lang-Son, Vietnam). Scale bars: 10 mm.
Camaena gaolongensis
sp. nov. is distinguishable from
C. funingensis
sp. nov. in having no spiral band. For
C. maguanensis
sp. nov., there is no band on the carinate periphery of the body whorl except for several below the carina. Moreover, the verge of
C. maguanensis
sp. nov. is small and circular.
Camaena yulinensis
sp. nov. differs to
C. funingensis
sp. nov. in having a conical verge and flesh-colored peristome.
P
-distances of the COI gene between
C. funingensis
sp. nov. and the other camaenids are 0.068-0.200 (Table
3
), and those between
C. funingensis
sp. nov. and
C. gaolongensis
sp. nov.,
C. maguanensis
sp. nov. and
C. yulinensis
sp. nov. are 0.075, 0.068 and 0.094 respectively. All of these
P
-distances exceed the maximum intra-specific value 0.059 in the family
Camaenidae
. On the phylogenetic tree, these four new species are adjacent, hence it is reasonable to designate this as a new species.
