The Australian land snail genus Bothriembryon Pilsbry, 1894 currently comprises 57 extant species, with all but five of these species found in Western Australia. We describe ten new species, B. isabellae n. sp., B. connori n. sp., B. christineae n. sp., B. limone n. sp., B. spiralis n. sp., B. harveyi n. sp., B. transitus n. sp, B. moondynejoei, B. wandoo n. sp. and B. brunneus n. sp. from the biodiversity hotspot of south-west Western Australia, based on molecular and morphological data.
