Sinoennea kanchingensis Tomlin, 1948  

Tomlin (1948) original descriptions on Sinoennea kanchingensis – “Shell whithish, tun-shaped being broadest in the middle and distinctly narrowed towards either end; narrowly umbilicate; suture distinct but not deep; whorls 9½, closely ornamented with very regular and regularly spaced retractive riblets, of which there may be perhaps fifty on a whorl; protoconch consisting of three very glassy whorls; aperture auriform with a large parietal tooth, to the left of which the peristomw rises with a blunt corner almost to the suture above; protoconch consisting of two smooth vitreous whorls.”

Benthem-Jutting (1961) descriptions on Sinoennea kanchingensis – “Shell high-pupoid, greatest diameter at about 1/3 of the total height, glassy white, transparent. Two top whorls smooth, subsequent ones with regular vertical ribs of which there are about 46-48 on the last whorl. No spiral striation. Top pointed, but not acute, base rounded, umbilicus open, but narrow. Whorls about 9, the 5th whorl broadest of all, and after this tapering to the much narrower base. Profile of the whorls moderately convex, suture well defined. Aperture almost vertical, irregularly quadrangular with rounded angles. Peristome continuous, broad, especially on the parietal side where it extends over a great part of the penultimate whorl, nearly touching the suture above it. Parieto-angular lamella crest-like, entering the aperture over more than one mm. There are no palatal teeth. On the columellar side a long, high fold is visible in the interior of the aperture. At this point the exterior of the last whorl is somewhat compressed vertically in the umbilical region.”
