Amphidromus hosei is a species of medium-sized air-breathing tree snail, an arboreal gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae.
This is a taxon inquirendum.
Description The shell is small, rimate, sinistral, elongate, and conic, featuring a narrow reddish-purple line that encircles the middle of the body whorl and appears above the suture. Towards the apex, it is spotted with brown under a very thin pale yellow cuticle. Comprising seven a little convex whorls that are striated with very delicate, oblique growth-lines and increase slowly and regularly, the body whorl is short and stained with black around the narrow umbilical chink. The aperture is inverted auriform and pale yellowish with a median reddish-purple line, slightly exceeding one-third the total length of the shell. The peristome is white, narrowly expanded and reflexed, with the columellar margin being thickened and narrowly dilated.
