| Abstract: | We describe a new land snail species of the family Camaenidae from the Belum-Temengor Forest Complex in the State of Perak, Peninsular Malaysia. Kenyirus sheema, sp. nov., is compared with its congener Kenyirus sodhii (Clements & Tan, 2012), which shares similar conchological characteristics such as a depressed apex, convex base, sub-triangular peristome, angulated lip periphery and partially-covered umbilicus through columellar margin dilation. The shell of the new species differs from K. sodhii by being more globular, having rounded whorls with a less prominent peripheral keel and a distinctly rostrate outer lip is absent. |
