Note

A beautiful brown shell displaying a truly spectacular pattern, elegantly enhanced by a refined band running throughout the entire spire. The outer lip (peristome) is glossy, well developed, and exhibits an attractive beige coloration, a clear indication of full adult maturity—an increasingly rare and highly desirable characteristic in the international shell market. Collected from the leaf litter of a humid forest at an elevation of 1,550 meters above sea level in June 2024, this specimen originates from a region renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity, although one that is becoming increasingly threatened by logging and deforestation. Material from such habitats is growing progressively scarcer, greatly enhancing the exclusivity and desirability of specimens of this quality. This represents a unique opportunity to acquire a classic species in very good condition, combining outstanding aesthetic appeal, ecological authenticity, and genuine prestige for the serious collector. A highly sought-after piece destined to become a highlight of any advanced international land snail collection.
