Distribution

Material. Magdalena, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Onaca Estate, 2500 ft. [-760 m], H.H. Smith leg. (ANSP 47608); Ibidem, 3500 ft [-1065 m] (ANSP 47609); Ibidem, trail to Buritaca 201, 1000 m, 1981 (UVZ 81222). Venezuela, Santo Domingo, 3000 m, Gabaldon leg. (USNM 109522a, h). ?, [no specific locality], ex Cuming (NHMUK, lectotype).
Remarks. The specimens from ANSP and UVZ are only tentatively referred to as this species. These Colombian records thus need further confirmation. They differ by the more expanded and slightly reflexed peristome, the slightly larger last whorl, and the lack of the pink colour described in L. Pfeiffer's specimen. The USNM lots are also tentatively placed here; the shells are stouter than the lectotype.
