Aegista squarrosa is a species of air-breathing land snails, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod in the family Camaenidae.[1]
(Original description in Latin) The shell is planorboid and somewhat squarish, with a coloration that is ochreous-corneous and paler on the underside. It has a convex shape and a broad umbilicus. There are six whorls that are convex and subangular at the periphery. The aperture is small, narrow, and lunate, with a simple peristome that is reflexed towards the columella.[2]
This species occurs on the Ryukyu Islands, Japan,[1] and Korea.[3]
