caption_attribution_description: English: apical, apertural and umbilical view of the shell of the holotype of Chloritis togianensis. From Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum Naturalis (formerly Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie), Leiden, The Netherlands, number 113751. The width of the shell is 18.4 mm.
context_page_description: Chloritis togianensis is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae.
  The specific name togianensis is after the type locality Togian Island.
context_section_description: The shell is solid, unicolored light ochre, biconcave, irregularly striated according to some growth lines, with numerous hair pits covering the whole surface. The spire is deeply sunken. The shell has 3¾-4½ whorls. Whorls are rounded, first whorls very narrow, the last one very large, and partly embracing the preceding one, distinctly descending in front. The umbilicus is deep, and about 1/8 of the width of the shell. The aperture is crescent, a little oblique, peristome thick and expanded all around and is somewhat reflexed; both ends connected by a quite thin callus. The width of the shell is 17.1-19.9 mm. The height of the shell is 9.5-11.7 mm.
  The species may be compared to only a few species showing the same kind of rotating of the penultimate whorl especially, and possessing simultaneously a sunken shell shape. Chloritis bifoveata (Benson, 1856) from West Malaysia is smaller (width is 15 mm), and the spire is much deeper; Chloritis unguiculastra (Martens, 1867) is somewhat larger (width is 22 mm), is smooth without hair or hair pits, and is more regularly coiled; Chloritis ungulina (Linnaeus, 1758) is much larger (width is 44 mm) is smooth without hair or hair pits, has a groove at the base of the penultimate whorl near the umbilicus and the whorls are more flattened, not rounded.
