Type material examined. Myanmar • Syntypes. NHMUK 1906.4.4.15 (4 shells; Fig. 20 A) from Puppa Hill, extinct volcano, Upper Burma; W. T. Blanford coll. • Syntype. NHMUK 1903.7.1.2278 (1 shell; Fig. 20 B) from Puppa Hill, extinct volcano, Upper Burma (figured in Godwin-Austen 1884: pl. 49, fig. 9); Godwin-Austen coll. Diagnosis. Shell dextral, conical-fusiform, translucent, whitish to pale yellowish. Whorls ~ 6–7, rounded; spire elongate-conical; suture wide, deep. Teleoconch slightly thin, with closely and equally spaced radial ribs throughout. Penultimate whorl slightly wider than last whorl. Aperture rounded; columellaris distinct, directed downward. Peristome expanded, double, multi-layered; basal edge slightly sinuous, protruded; inner peristome broadly expanded on parietal side. Umbilicus closed. Distribution. This species was originally known only from its type locality, ‘ Puppa Hill, Ava’, which likely corresponds to present-day Mount Popa (20°55'N, 95°14'E) in central Mandalay Region.
