Note

A beautiful globose-elongate shell displaying an attractive combination of beige and brown coloration. The specimen is particularly distinguished by its thick pink peristome, a reliable indicator of full adult maturity and a highly desirable feature among collectors of terrestrial gastropods. Recently collected by local inhabitants from the leaf litter of a humid forest at an elevation of 1,280 meters above sea level in january 2026, this shell exhibits the freshness and natural condition that advanced collectors and researchers greatly appreciate. The harmonious shell profile, pleasing coloration, and well-developed mature aperture combine to create a specimen of notable aesthetic and scientific interest. Fully mature examples in such fresh condition are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, particularly those accompanied by precise and recent locality data.
