Aegista proxima
taxon
Aegista proxima is a species of air-breathing land snails, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod in the family Camaenidae.
Description
The diameter of the shell attains 15 mm, its height 8.3mm.
This shell closely resembles Aegista friedeliana from Kyushu. It features an open umbilicus, a low conical spire, and an obtuse, subangular periphery. The surface is sculptured with rather weak, irregular growth striae and covered with a smooth brownish-yellow cuticle, lacking any scaly or thread-like appendages. The whorls increase very slowly, with the body whorl very slightly deflexed at the aperture. The oblique aperture is rounded-lunate, and the peristome is expanded, with the outer and basal margins narrowly reflexed.
Distribution
This species occurs in Korea.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Aegista proxima”, the useful work is to connect “taxon” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q106240147. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
