Shell small, but solid, ovate-conic, white, with five spiral whorls, including two protoconch whorls, teleoconch whorl inflated; other whorls surface smooth, body whorl swollen. Apex obtuse. Umbilicus narrow, base white. Aperture ovate, more than half of shell in height, inner lip thickened and smooth, outer lip thickened. Differential diagnosis. Compared with F. kreitneri, F. sinensis and F. undata, Fenouilia pluvia sp. nov. shell surface smooth, without keels and axial ribs. For Fenouilia pluvia sp. nov., its inner lip is very thick. Etymology. The species name "pluvia " derives from the Latin word for rain, indicating that the shell of the new species resembles the shape of raindrops. We suggest the Chinese common name as " ffl滴AEḄDz ". Distribution and ecology. This species is only found in the lake sediments of Qilin District, Yunnan Province.
