Salinator burmana (Blandford, 1867)

Amphibola burmana Blanford, 1867: 66 , pl. 13, figs, 7–10. Ampullarina burmana ; Nevill 1878: 249.

Salinator burmana ; Benthem Jutting 1956: 451, fig. 116. Salinator fragilis View in CoL ; Smythe 1975: 336.

Remarks: Salinator burmana is distinguished from S. fragilis by fine growth striae, flattened whorls, shallow sutures and a narrower umbilicus ( Benthem Jutting 1956). The distribution includes Java, Thailand and India. Smythe (1975) synonymised S. burmana with S. fragilis , based on similarities of the operculum and radula between Australian specimens of S. fragilis and amphibolid specimens collected in the Persian Gulf. Benthem Jutting (1956) mentions that the opercula of Javanese specimens of S. burmana bear faint spiral ridges around the nucleus. Specimens from the Persian Gulf, incorrectly attributed to S. fragilis by Smythe (1975), may represent the western limit of this taxon if they are indeed conspecific. Given the imprecise nature of this taxon and its remarkably wide distribution across most of southern and western Asia, it may well comprise of many cryptic species.
