Diagnosis

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

Description

SHELL ( Figs 10 View Figs 6–11 , 77 View Figs 76–80 ; Tables 3–4 View Table 3 View Table 4 ). Conical, with 4.5–5.25 convex whorls; protoconch almost smooth; teleoconch with irregular wrinkles and distinct incised spiral lines; no scales discernible; not tuberculate around umbilicus; yellowish or brownish-corneous; body whorl keeled; aperture oval; upper insertion of peristome hardly descending; peristome slightly expanded, not reflexed and slightly thickened; umbilicus hardly eccentric, narrow, comprising 20–25% of shell diameter, hardly obscured by columellar edge.

GENITALIA. Unknown.

Remarks

Landouria monticola resembles L. schepmani ( Fig. 76 View Figs 76–80 ), in which it was apparently included by Möllendorff (1897). It differs from that species in the smaller (D 8.5–9.5 mm vs 10.5–10.9 mm in L. schepmani ), higher conical (D/H 1.49–1.60 vs 1.72–1.76 in L. schepmani ), less sharply keeled shell.

The holotype of L. monticola could not be traced in the RMNH/ZMA collection. Van Benthem Jutting (1950) reported L. monticola from several regions in West, Central and East Java. We examined a juvenile paratype of L. monticola from Gunung Kawi in East Java (ZMA 137804), which differs from the paratypes from Gunung Cikuray in the smoother shell with a narrower umbilicus. We doubt that this specimen is conspecific with the paratypes of L. monticola from Gunung Cikuray. The identity of the populations from high mountain regions in Central Java with L. monticola must also be checked.

Distribution

Currently only the populations from Gunung Cikuray in West Java are included in L. monticola (Fig. 55). Records from other regions of Java ( van Benthem Jutting 1950) and from Sumatra ( Heryanto 2013) probably refer to other species.
