Description

The genus Miraphaedusa Nordsieck, 2005 is a group of medium to large clausiliid land snails endemic to Guangxi and Guizhou Provinces of China and consists of three species. It is characterised by a slender to fusiform shell with thick apical part, strongly doubled peristome and several short palatal plicae.

A new species, Miraphaedusa xihuashida Chen sp. nov., is described from Tongren, Guizhou, China. It is characterised by the fusiform shell with 10.5–12.25 whorls and 24.7–27.5 mm shell height, thick, expanded, reflexed and strongly doubled peristome, weak inferior and subcolumellar lamella and short, lateral palatal plicae.
