Type material.

49 syntypes collected in Makassar (Celebes Island, Indonesia) and kept under No. 8136. The largest of these shells reaches 26.2 mm height. Kilias (1961) reported that he intended one of these shells to become the lectotype of Limnaea javanica var. angustior and separated it under accession number 8136a, however I was not able to find this specimen in ZMB collection. Probably, it is still placed among other syntypes under No. 8136.

Type locality.

Indonesia: Java Island (Batavia and Tji-surupan), Celebes Island (Makassar). leg. von Martens.

Current taxonomic allocation.

Cerasina luteola (Lamarck, 1822). Hubendick (1951) synonymized Limnaea javanica var. angustior with the race rubiginosa of Radix auricularia (L., 1758).
