Diagnosis
Landouria schepmani
is characterized by a depressed conical, sharply keeled shell with distinct incised spiral lines but no discernible scales, and a narrow umbilicus.

Description
SHELL (
Fig. 76
;
Tables 3–4
). Depressed conical, with 5–5.25 slightly convex whorls; protoconch almost smooth; teleoconch with fine, irregular wrinkles and distinct incised spiral lines; no scales discernible; tuberculate around umbilicus; brownish-corneous; body whorl sharply keeled; aperture rounded rhombic; upper insertion of peristome slightly descending; peristome expanded, reflexed and slightly thickened; umbilicus slightly eccentric, wide, comprising 21% of shell diameter, hardly obscured by columellar edge.
GENITALIA. Unknown.
Remarks
Van
Benthem Jutting (1950)
and
Zilch (1966)
synonymized
L. schepmani
with
L. winteriana
. However,
L. schepmani
differs from
L. winteriana
in having a sharply keeled, more conical shell with distinct incised spiral lines and a narrower umbilicus (U/D 0.21 vs
0.29–0.51 in
L. winteriana
).
According to the original label, the
type
locality is Sukapura, Gunung Bungbulan.
Van
Benthem Jutting (1950: 465)
listed a Bungbulan south of Gunung Papandayan (
7°27′ S
,
107°36′ E
). It is not clear whether this is the Bungbulan of Fruhstorfer, because there are also several other localities called Bungbulan in the former Sukapura Regency. For example, there is a Gunung Bungbulang, now called Gunung Bangkuang, in
West Java
at
7°12′ S
,
108°05′ E
. Thus, the distribution area of
L. schepmani
remains dubious.
