Remarks.

Living snails were observed foraging among leaf litter and plant debris near the cliff in a lowland limestone forest. The shells from Bau are the first record of this species in Borneo. This species is different from Kaliella barrakporensis (Pfeiffer, 1852) and Kaliella accepta (Smith, 1895) in having a low conical shell with wider whorls.
