Materials examined.

Prk 01 G. Tempurung: BOR/ MOL 11147 , BOR/ MOL 11220 , BOR/ MOL 11391 , BOR/ MOL 11424 .

Distribution.

Known from Gunung Tempurung only, but surrounding hills have yet to be adequately surveyed.

Remarks.

Shell small. Spire low, shell discoid. Distinguished from other discoid snails by the presence of strong spiral ridges of equal width. In between these spiral ridges, fine round pits are deposited in a neat matrix. Differs from Glyptaulax artificiosa (Benson, 1856) by its less expanded aperture and smaller umbilicus. First record of Glyptaulax in Peninsular Malaysia.
