Staffordia daflaensis

Staffordia daflaensis is a species of air-breathing land snail, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Staffordiidae.

The specific name daflaensis is apparently according to its area of distribution, Dafla Hills in India.

Distribution
The type locality of this species is "Shengorh Peak", 7000 ft, Dafla Hills in India.

Godwin-Austen (1907) have found this species very abundant in Dafla Hills.

The shell has 6 whorls, that are rapidly increasing. The last whorl is rounded. The aperture is broadly ovate, oblique, milky white within. The peristome is acute, sinuous above and slightly so below, much reflected at umbilical margin. The columellar margin is very oblique and descending.

The width of the shell is 16.2-23.5 mm. The height of the shell is 8.0-9.4 mm.
