Distribution.
In Peninsular Malaysia, currently known from Penang, Perak and Selangor although it is likely widespread. Elsewhere, distributed from India in the west to Australia and Tahiti in the east (
Vermeulen et al. 2015
).
Remarks.
Shell slightly larger than
Kaliella barrakporensis
. Differs from sympatric congeners in its fewer but more convex whorls, especially obvious in the ultimate whorl. Radial sculpture fine but distinct. Spiral sculpture usually present.
