status

 

Stomacosmethis kapayanensis alticola (Foon & Liew, 2017)

Alycaeus alticola Foon & Liew, 2017: 16-19, figs 7J, 8, 31G.

Type locality.

"PHG 77 Bukit Mengapur, Pahang (3°44'42"N, 102°50'16"E)".

Remarks.

According to the original description this taxon differs from A. charasensis , A. costacrassa , A. selangoriensis , and A. kapayanensis in the formation of the body whorl and in slight differences in the shell sculpture. However, the differences in shell shape are not obviously visible on the photographs in Foon and Liew (2017). Instead, only very slight differences (if any) are to be seen, which we feel do not represent distinctive character traits on a species level. Therefore, we treat this taxon as a subspecies of S. kapayanensis .
