Distribution.

Known from Kinta Valley, Perak only.

Remarks.

Shell small relative to congeners. Rounded periphery, spire relatively tall, whorls wide. Overall, shell looks glossy. Radial sculpture indistinct, spiral grooves distinct but very fine. Suture indistinct. Most similar to Macrochlamys malayana (von Möllendorff, 1891), which differs in being more globose and has less whorls.
