Countries occurrence: Native: Malaysia (Sabah) Additional data: Range Map: Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. Population [top] Population: Very few "pure" specimens can be found. Current Population Trend: Decreasing Additional data: Habitat and Ecology [top] Habitat and Ecology: Occurs in lowland tropical Dipterocarp rainforest on limestone. Systems: Terrestrial Threats [top] Major Threat(s): Repeated logging and plantations cause drying out of the vegetation, which results in a decline in the Prosobranch populations. Quarrying has lead to the loss of two subpopulations, and hybridization may pose a serious threat to this species in the last remaining locality. Citation: Schilthuizen, M. & Vermeulen, J. 2004.
