Chloritis Sykesi

''Chloritis'' is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Hadrinae of the family Camaenidae.MolluscaBase (2018). Chloritis H. Beck, 1837.

The genus ''Chloritis'' is restricted to South-east Asia (from China to India and up to New Guinea) with numerous species having usually small distributional ranges.

Shell description

The conchological characters of the species belonging to the genus ''Chloritis'' are the more or less compact shells, the biconcave or a hardly elevated spire. The first whorls are quite narrow, rounded, the apical ones with regularly arranged granules or hair pits. Last whorl is widened suddenly, with a more or less open umbilicus. The aperture is lunate. The peristome is reflected, connected in most cases by a thin callus.

Species

Some researchers divided the genus ''Chloritis'' in a number of rather poorly defined subgenera, or even consider these subgenera as genera. The characters used for these separations are only shell features; unfortunately from only a few species the anatomy is known. Here the more conservative systematic classification (only one genus ''Chloritis'') is followed as proposed by Vaught (1989).Vaught K. C. (1989). ''A classification of the living Mollusca: i-xii, 1-195.'' American Malacologists, Inc., Melbourne, Florida, United States.
