Assiminea (Solenomphala) scalaris Heude, 1882: 83-84, pl. 21, figs 5, 5a-c.

Type locality.

"Ad parietes humidos in civitate Chang-hai sat copiosa" [= Shanghai, China].

Material examined.

Gunung Kapor: ME 8091, ME 9231. Gunung Batu: ME 2216, ME 2339, ME 8810.

Distribution in Borneo.

Sarawak: Kuching, Samarahan, and Mukah divisions. Distribution elsewhere. East to Southeast Asia ( Fukuda and Ponder 2003).

Remarks.

This amphibious snail is an introduced species because all the known records were found in the damp area among human settlements ( Chan 1997; this study). The shell form is similar to that of Cyclotropis bollingi Brandt, 1974, but differs by having fine spiral sculptures.
