Diagnostic characteristics: Very strong corrugation near the suture.

Description: Shell ( Figs 2A View Figure 2 , 11E View Figure 11 ): medium-sized, rather thin, greenish brown, moderately to distinctly elevated, outer whorls slightly shouldered below the suture. Periphery rounded. Above the periphery, shell shiny with very weak and irregular wrinkling that grows stronger towards suture, and forms corrugation just below the suture. Below the periphery, shell without or with scattered, inconspicuous, fine spiral grooves. Height up to 11.9 mm; width up to 19.6 mm; diameter of the first three whorls 1.3–1.4, 1.1–1.2, and 1.85–2.3 mm, respectively; number of whorls up to five; height aperture up to 7.4 mm; width aperture up to 10.7 mm. Genitalia ( Fig. 7I View Figure 7 ): maximum length from genital opening to the end of dart-sac (before the visible gland tubules) up to 11.5 mm. The penis, dartsac, and vagina with thick muscular walls. P, V arranged near the GO then followed by BC and DS where there is little space in the atrium between the openings of P + V and BC + DS. Long BC about twothirds of total DS length. Animal ( Fig. 8G View Figure 8 ): animal head uniform black or grey and this colour extends backward to the end of mantle and downward to the foot-fringe. Some individuals with an ill-defined grey band between tentacles, extended to the end of the tail. Grey smear covering large parts of the animal and extending until the end of the tail. The mantle is covered in sparsely distributed brighter spots. These brighter spots become denser and are agglomerated with the black spots at the last half whorl.

Distribution and habitat: Upper montane and coniferous primary forest, 2500–3500 m alt. Sabah: Mount Kinabalu only ( Fig. 9B View Figure 9 ).

Remarks: This species is endemic to Mount Kinabalu.
