Shell height 21.3–26.1 mm, width 10.1–11.5 mm; aperture height 9.0– 9.8 mm, width 6.6–7.5 mm.</p><p>Distribution and ecology</p><p>Petraeomastus neumayri is only known from Mangkang County on the right bank of the Jinshajiang River (Figure 1 (A)). This known distribution refers to the area where live animals, empty shells, or shell fragments have been observed or collected. However, due to the steep terrain of the mountain, it is challenging to collect all observed living animals or specimens. Consequently, the examined specimens referred to in this study were collected from a relatively gently sloped area. The distribution of this species is limited to the lower part of the valley in an area of a few hundred square metres and does not extend to the alpine meadows in the upper part. It inhabits steep rock cliffs together with the land snail Holcauchen markamensis Chen and Zhang, 2000 (Figure 4 (A–C)), and living snails are almost never seen on the ground. Juveniles are covered in mud.</p><p>Remarks</p><p>The number of whorls in this species varies greatly, resulting in a significant change in the height of the shell. Hilber (1883) mentioned that the shell of this species is brown, which distinguishes it from all congeners in the region. The type locality of this species was recorded as Batang County. However, Batang was used more generally for the region in the past. This species lives along the right bank of the Jinshajiang River, which is nowadays in Mangkang County.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CCBD10FF9CE05D3192FCEFE3A7FF62	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, upon examination of the type specimen ( Figure 2 (D), NMW 1955.158.24105), it was found that P . desgodinsi has a broad and short shell, which is consistent with the new specimens collected from the left bank of the Jinshajiang River . The specimens numbered NHMUK 1912.6.27.22–25 actually correspond to Ena markamensis Chen and Zhang, 2001 (Figure 2 (F)). Petraeomastus desgodinsi can be easily distinguished from E. markamensis by its broader shell, a narrowly opened umbilicus (vs slit-shaped), tubular bursa copulatrix (vs ovoid) and the longer penis. The two species also differ in their habitats, with P. desgodinsi inhabiting only exposed rock walls and E. markamensis inhabiting the mossy ground (see below).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CCBD10FF99E053318AFEE1E604FAC8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Although some studies have indicated that there may be slight differences in the genitalia between genera (Wu 2018), it is challenging to summarise these differences as a universal diagnostic character for a genus. The placement of this new species within Petraeomastus is supported by its shell morphology – shell cylindrical-conic to conic – which is very similar to that of P. heudeanus (Figure 7 (B)), the type species of the genus. It is the largest enid species in China (height 30.1–40.3 mm vs &lt;33.0 mm), and can be easily distinguished from all congeners by its shell size, teleoconch with reddish brown background, irregular white stripes, and slit-shaped umbilicus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CCBD10FF92E055313FFCF3E01BF99C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
