Amphidromus porcellanus is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae.
Reproductive system of Amphidromus porcellanus shows main characteristics of genus Amphidromus: long receptaculum seminis, and short penis with low insertion of retractor muscle. (See notes on the image.)
The jaw of the genus Amphidromus is thin and weak with low flat ribs as it is seen on this jaw of Amphidromus porcellanus.
The anatomy of this species was described by Carl Arend Friedrich Wiegmann in 1898.[1]
