Notes.

This species has not previously been recorded beyond the type locality (Shimba Hills) ( Verdcourt 2006). According to Verdcourt (1958), its shell differs from that of the other known lowland species, Tayloria helicoides (C. R. Böttger, 1913) only in relative spire height and strength of sculpture. The latter is known only from Kipatimu, Kilwa District, south of the Rufiji Delta.
