Amphicyclotulus rufescens is a species of tropical land snail with a gill and an operculum, a terrestrial gastropod mollusc in the family Neocyclotidae.[1]
(Original description) The shell, nearly orbicular in outline and predominantly reddish in coloration, possesses a short spire composed of four rounded whorls. These whorls exhibit spiral ridges and striations, with the ridges displaying crenulations. The suture is deeply impressed. The aperture is circular, defined by a thin, sharp peritreme. The umbilicus is notably large.[2]
