''Ariophanta laevipes'' is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Ariophantidae. ''Ariophanta laevipes'' is the type species of the genus ''Ariophanta''.〔 == Shell description == The shell of this species is left-handed (sinistral). The shell is depressed, rather thin, obliquely striated and decussated with fine spiral lines above, smooth beneath. The shell color is white or whitish with three spiral chestnut bands. The spire is low and conoidal, with 5 slightly convex whorls. The body whorl is rounded beneath but angulate at the periphery, the angulation generally disappearing near the mouth.〔Blanford W. T. & Godwin-Austen H. H. 1908. (''Mollusca. Testacellidae and Zonitidae'' ). Taylor & Francis, London, (page 25 )-30.〕 The aperture is lunate and diagonal. The peristome is in one plane, simple above, slightly thickened and reflected below.〔 The width of the shell is 23–28 mm. The height is 15 mm. There is a large flat variety.〔 The commonest variety is white with three spiral bands one near the suture, one above and one beneath the periphery. But some shells have the ground-colour brownish with darker bands, and some are white or dark brown throughout. The parietal wall of the aperture and the area around the umbilicus are never darker than the adjacent portion of the last whorl.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ariophanta laevipes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
