A new species of Albers, 1850 (Gastropoda: Bulimulidae), sp. n., is described from a coastal area of northern Chile. Empty shells of this new species were found buried in sand and under boulders and rocks in the foothills of the Chilean Coastal Range at Paposo, Región de Antofagasta. This new species is distinguished from all other Chilean terrestrial snails by its slender shell with a flared and reflected aperture, and by the presence of a columellar fold. This is the first record of in Chile, and the southernmost record for this endemic South American bulimulid genus. The presence of this species in Paposo highlights the need for further research and for conservation guidelines in coastal areas of northern Chile, which have comparatively high levels of biodiversity and endemism.
描述了一种新的阿尔伯斯蜗牛（1850年）（腹足纲： Bulimulidae科），新物种。该新物种的空壳是在智利安托法加斯塔地区帕波索的智利海岸山脉山麓的沙子中以及巨石和岩石下发现的。这种新物种与所有其他智利陆生蜗牛的区别在于其细长的贝壳，有一个向外扩张和反折的开口，以及有一个柱状褶。这是该物种在智利的首次记录，也是这个南美洲特有Bulimulidae属最南端的记录。该物种在帕波索的出现凸显了对智利北部沿海地区进行进一步研究和制定保护指南的必要性，该地区具有相对较高的生物多样性和特有性水平。
