Amphidromus lindstedti is a species of air-breathing tree snail, an arboreal gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae.[1]
The length of this shell attains 39mm, its diameter 17 mm.
(Original description in Latin) The shell is sinistral, imperforate, and ovate-conical. It exhibits a solid structure, a finely striated surface, and a glossy, pure white coloration. The spire presents an elongate-conical form with a somewhat blunt apex. The shell contains six and a half somewhat convex whorls. The body whorl measures almost four-sevenths of the shell's length, displaying an obsolete angle and a rounded anterior. The columella appears somewhat vertical and scarcely twisted. The aperture lies almost diagonally and has a somewhat semi-circular shape. The peristome is slightly thickened and expanded, with its margins joined by a callus of the same color.[2]
