Aegista furtiva 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 exhibits a moderate umbilicus, with a corneous texture. The shell shows delicate striations, while its suture bears a slight impression. Across its six whorls, there's a gradual increase, culminating in a slender body whorl with a faintly angled periphery. Its peristome, expanding gracefully, presents a striking contrast in white.[2]
