Type locality.
"in muscis arborum ad Musmai, prope Cherra-poonjee" (India, Meghalaya, Cherrapunji, approximate GPS coordinates:
25°16.6'N
,
91°44'E
).
Material examined.
One
syntype
, possibly
holotype
, with no locality data (UMZC I.103805). An old label in unknown handwriting reads "
Hydrocena milium
Bs." and on the reverse side: "original shell described".
Distribution.
Known from a single shell only (Fig.
19
).

Distribution of
Angustopila
species.
Remarks.
Angustopila milium
was described as a
Cyclostoma
(caenogastropod) species. Even
Godwin-Austen (1872)
was convinced that this was an operculate species when he examined
Benson's
type specimens.
Gude (1914)
considered it as juvenile
Boysidia plicidens
. However, the combination of the shell characters (small, conical shell, narrow, deep umbilicus, toothless, subcircular aperture, expanded aperture, sparsely arranged spiral striae) indicates that this species represents an adult hypselostomatid, which undoubtedly fits to the genus
Angustopila
, significantly extending the genus distribution.
Here, we do not present a formal redescription because the type specimens could not be examined by SEM, and therefore, some important details cannot be seen. However, due to the large geographic distance between
A. milium
and other species discussed herein, it is highly unlikely that
A. milium
would be conspecific with any of them.
