Abstract
Aegista hiroshifukudai n. sp. from Yamaguchi Prefecture, the Chugoku District, western Honshu, Japan is described. The new species is assigned to Aegista Albers, 1850 based on its morphology and molecular phylogeny. Aegista hiroshifukudai n. sp. is phylogenetically distinct from all other closely related species and the shell has a relatively taller spire. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:B0D76861-D9E7-40DB-B1C4-D604D6090569
