Note

A beautiful specimen of Drymaeus, it displays a range of harmoniously arranged brown bands. The shell features a fully developed and thickened peristome—an unmistakable sign of full maturity—perfectly preserved, enhancing its refined morphology. The aperture reveals a striking violet interior, an intense and highly prized characteristic that immediately captures the attention of the discerning collector. A growth line on the back is an authentic testament to its natural history in the wild, not a post-collection defect. These field marks often underscore the genuine provenance of the specimen and add character to advanced collections focused on ecological context. Collected from the leaf litter of a pristine Andean cloud forest at 2100 meters above sea level in February 2026, this high-altitude origin further increases its exclusivity. Specimens of this quality, maturity, and vibrant coloration, from such high altitudes, are rarely found on the international market. An exceptional opportunity to acquire a visually captivating and ecologically authentic Drymaeus specimen, a centerpiece that will command attention in any serious collection of neotropical land snails.
