Distribution in Borneo.

Sarawak: Kuching and Miri divisions. Sabah: Exact location was not mentioned in Clements et al. (2008). Endemic to Borneo.

Remarks.

This species was recorded in Clements et al. (2008) as Charopa argos . This species will be described in a separate publication on Sabah land snails. Living snails were observed foraging among leaf litter and plant debris near the cliff in lowland limestone forest. It differs from other Bornean Charopa species by its prominent, rather deep, well-spaced radial grooves crossing the spiral striae at more or less regular intervals on the shell surface.
