Amastra agglutinans is a species of land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Amastridae.[1]
(Original description) This shell looks much like Amastra obesa. The shell is slightly carinated on the last two whorls, with the keel accentuated by agglutinations, creating a distinctive pagoda-like appearance.[2]
