Koreoleptoxis amurensis is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Semisulcospiridae.

Taxonomy

Strong et al. (2009) and Kantor et al. (2010) classified this species in the genus "Parajuga" Prozorova et Starobogatov, 2003; however Parajuga is not available name.
