Comments

This species was identified in Liao & Clark (1995) as Pseudomaretia alta with subsequent placement into Nacospatangus by Schultz (2009). This species was is the first record of this species from Hong Kong, where it is rarely encountered. Only two sightings of this species were observed from wave-exposed habitat.

Specimens collected from this area show a larger peristome when compared with that of Liao & Clark (1995) and Schultz (2017).
