Amphidromus cambojiensis is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Camaenidae.[1]
The height of the shell attains 66.6 mm, its diameter 35.1 mm. [2]
(Original description) The shell is sinistral or dextral. It is cylindrically ovate, thick, robust, and pupiform in the spire. It is bluish-white with a faint fawn tint, clouded with oblique, indistinct, wash-like zigzag flames of the same darker hue. The shell contains seven smooth, somewhat bulbous whorls. These are faintly concave below the suture. The aperture is ovate, moderately sized, exhibiting a prominent, opaque, milk-white callus across the body whorl and over the thickly reflected outer lip. The interior is stained with a beautiful iridescent violet-rose. [3]
This species has a relatively large shell and an ovate to elongate conical shape. It possesses a thin corneous periostracum, with irregular brown to dark brown radial streaks on the shell ground colour, and a bright purplish pink or violet colour on the inner side of outer wall. [4]
