Summary:Two new camaenid land snails are reported from Central China. The new genus, represented by Wu & Chen, , the type of the genus from Sichuan, is close to Habe, Habe, Minato and Pilsbry, but is well characterized by the smooth adult shell, highly developed epiphallic papilla, absence of penial caecum, and the presence of an epiphallus-binding muscle that binds the proximal epiphallus to the distal penis. A new species Wu & Chen, is described from Hubei Province and is characterized by having two shell bands, a spoon-shaped love dart and the proportionally shortest mucous glands among Chinese congeners.
