About Sauroconcha gulosa (A.Gould, 1846)
This species was originally described in Latin under the name Helix coriaria. Its shell is depressed-globose, solid, and has a slightly concealed umbilicus. The shell surface is roughly wrinkled with a very fine granular texture, and is uniformly a clear chestnut color. The spire is broadly conical and obtuse, and made up of five slightly convex whorls; the body whorl is somewhat deflected at the front. The aperture is roundly lunate with a pearlescent interior. The peristome is straight and obtuse, with margins that are positioned far apart. The columellar margin is sloping, thickened, and reflected. At the top, this margin widens into a triangular lamina that almost completely conceals the umbilicus. This species occurs in forests and woodlands in New South Wales, Australia, ranging from the Southern Highlands to the South Coast.
