Aegista friedeliana is a species of air-breathing land snails, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod in the family Camaenidae.[1]
The diameter of the shell attains 19 mm.
The shell displays a broad umbilicus. It is delicately marked with slight oblique striae. The shell is tinted in an olive-brown hue. Its whorls exhibit a subtle convexity. The body whorl bears a gentle angularity, curving downward at the front and flattening convexly at the base. The white peristome is slightly thickened and gracefully expanded, with its margins drawing near.[2]
