Distribution.

In Peninsular Malaysia, currently known from Penang, Perak and Selangor although it is likely widespread. Elsewhere, distributed from India in the west to Australia and Tahiti in the east ( Vermeulen et al. 2015).

Remarks.

Shell slightly larger than Kaliella barrakporensis . Differs from sympatric congeners in its fewer but more convex whorls, especially obvious in the ultimate whorl. Radial sculpture fine but distinct. Spiral sculpture usually present.
