Afristreptaxis bloyeti

Gonaxis bloyeti Bourguignat, 1890 (original combination) Afristreptaxis bloyeti is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Streptaxidae.

(Original description in Latin) The shell is narrowly perforated and streptaxiform, with a ventrally turgid, short, and obese shape that is almost equally high as it is wide.

The folds are stronger and more erect, and on the body whorl, they extend to the aperture, creating a pattern resembling superimposed pleats.

Sculpture: The shell spirals obliquely from left to right, with an obtuse, compressed shape above, barely convex, appearing slightly oppressed.

This species is distinguished from Tayloria craveni (E. A. Smith, 1880) by its smaller size, by its completely crushed spiral, to the point that the upper whorls, more cramped and tighter, are barely visible from the front; by its more irregular spiral growth; by his body whorl more developed in height, and by its aperture less oblique on the right side and therefore with a different shape.
