Type locality.

"on the hill ranges from near Tellizo Peak to the eastward, and on Mungching Hill in Munipur".

Material examined.

Remarks.

The specimen in lot 1903.7.1.2666 is weathered, so the original sculpture could not be fully examined, but a second type lot of A. sculpturus contained four shells in relatively good condition (NHMUK 1903.7.1.2667).

Protoconch moderately elevated, no spiral lines visible; R1 with widely spaced, strong ribs and without spiral lines; R2 of normal length, with widely spaced, sharp ribs.
