Sinoennea glebula van Benthem Jutting, 1961
“S. glebula has a much narrower umbilicus than either S. charasensis, hungerfordiana, perakensis or tweedei. S. kanchingensis is a large, spindle-shaped species without palatal teeth. From the very small S. lembingensis and from the compressed S. malaccana the new species differs in size, shape, ribs, etc. S. chintamanensis is a larger and more ventricose shell. Its palatal teeth are implanted on a common base whereas in S. glebula they are free. S. pagodella has a smaller shell, with coarser ribs. Its palatal teeth are standing close together whereas in S. glebula the lower palatal tooth lies at the base of the aperture. S. apicata is much larger than S. glebula and has only one palatal tooth. S. crumenilla and S. chrysalis both lack the tooth at the columellar edge and are more obese than S. glebula. In both species the distance between the upper palatal tooth and the parieto-angular lamella is narrower than in S. glebula. S. bacca is larger than S. glebula and its ribs are less numerous. S. leucostolos and S. callizonus lack the tooth at the exterior margin of the columellar side. Besides the two palatal teeth are placed close together whereas in S. glebula the lower one has been transferred to the basal side of the aperture. S. leucostolos is, moreover, somewhat more ventricose than S. glebula.” (Benthem-Jutting, 1961)
Benthem-Jutting (1961) original descriptions on Sinoennea glebula – “Shell high-ovoid or pupoid, glassy transparent, shining. Two top whorls smooth, the following ones ribbed by delicate vertical ribs, about 24 on the last whorl. The ribs wear away easily, leaving the whorls smooth at irregular spots. No spiral striation. Whorls 7, regularly increasing towards the middle of the shell, then diminishing again towards the base. Profile of each whorl moderately convex. The greatest diameter lies a little above the periphery. Top pointed, but not sharp. Base rounded. Umbilicus open, but not wide. Aperture vertical, quadrangular with rounded corners. Peristome continuous, adnate to the previous whorl, or juct free from it, thickened, reflected. With a strong, undulating parieto-angular lamella. To the right of this the peristome recedes, then protrudes in the middle, receding again towards the base. Of the two palatal teeth the upper one stands at the edge of the peristome margin, the lower one much deeper in the throat, and almost at the base of the aperture. Columellar side with two teeth, one at the edge of the peristome and one lower down. There is almost no swelling in the distal part of the last whorl behind the peristome.”
Sinoennea glebula – “Dimensions: Height 2.6-3.0 mm; Width 1.5 mm; Height of aperture 0.9-1.0 mm.” (Benthem-Jutting, 1961)
