Shell description

The conchological characters of the species belonging to the genus Chloritis are the more or less compact shells, the biconcave or a hardly elevated spire.[3] The first whorls are quite narrow, rounded, the apical ones with regularly arranged granules or hair pits.[3] Last whorl is widened suddenly, with a more or less open umbilicus.[3] The aperture is lunate. The peristome is reflected, connected in most cases by a thin callus.[3]

Perspective

Some researchers divided the genus Chloritis in a number of rather poorly defined subgenera, or even consider these subgenera as genera.[3] The characters used for these separations are only shell features; unfortunately from only a few species the anatomy is known.[3] Here the more conservative systematic classification (only one genus Chloritis) is followed as proposed by Vaught (1989).[3][4]
