Abstract
The Australian land snail genus Bothriembryon Pilsbry, 1894 currently consists of 67 extant species, with 60 found only in Western Australia and of these, 54 are confined to the south-west Western Australia (SWWA) biodiversity hotspot. Based on molecular and morphological data we describe three new species from the SWWA biodiversity hotspot: B. aridensis n. sp. from Cape Arid National Park, B. striatus n. sp. from the Bremer Bay area and B. turris n. sp. from the Koolyanobbing area.
