摘要 Spiroxys ankarafantsika，sp。十一月马达加斯加有两种淡水龟：Pelusios castanoides 和 Pelomedusa subrufa。 Spiroxys ankarafantsika 与该属其他物种的不同之处在于，仅在正中叶上有假唇齿，没有其他角质层突出物，光滑的角质层领，颈纹为颈部小棘状突起，以及没有管的结节。这是埃塞俄比亚地区螺属名义物种的第一个记录。
Abstract Spiroxys ankarafantsika, sp. nov. is described from Madagascar in two species of freshwater turtles, Pelusios castanoides and Pelomedusa subrufa. Spiroxys ankarafantsika differs from other species of the genus in having pseudolabial teeth only on the median lobes and no other cuticular prominences, a smooth cuticular collar, deirides as cervical minute spine-like projections, and a gubernaculum without tubes. This is the first record of a nominal species of the genus Spiroxys from the Ethiopian region.
