A total of 11 species and 1 subspecies of were recognised in Peninsular Malaysia prior to this study. However, these taxonomic descriptions of taxa were based on limited numbers of examined materials, where a whole spectrum of morphological variations were not accounted for and diagnoses were often provided without sufficient comparison between congeners from across the peninsula. We reviewed Peninsular Malaysian through the examination of 5137 specimens in 522 collection lots from all major museum collections and literature sources. Based on these examined materials, we utilised a more comprehensive revised set of 39 shell and operculum characters, as well as living animal colour to describe all species in this paper. We also noted their habitat and ecology, as well as updated the distribution of each species. Of the 12 previously described taxa, 10 are reconfirmed as present on Peninsular Malaysia (, , , , , , , , and ) and 2 are confirmed as absent from the peninsula ( and ). A new record of is reported for Peninsular Malaysia. One species, is confirmed as present on the peninsula and is reassigned to . The subspecies Möllendorff, 1902, is elevated to species. Examined Peninsular Malaysian materials that do not fit previously recognised species are described as new species. A total of 11 new species are proposed (, , , , , , , , , , ). Overall, 23 species of are now recognised in Peninsular Malaysia.
在本研究开展之前,人们共识别出马来西亚半岛的[具体生物名称]有11个物种和1个亚种。然而,这些分类群的分类描述是基于数量有限的已检查材料,并未涵盖所有形态变异,而且在诊断时往往没有对半岛各地的同属物种进行充分比较。我们通过检查来自所有主要博物馆藏品和文献来源的522个采集批次中的5137个标本,对马来西亚半岛的[具体生物名称]进行了重新审视。基于这些已检查的材料,我们采用了一套更全面的、经过修订的39个贝壳和厣特征,以及活体动物颜色特征,来描述本文中的所有物种。我们还记录了它们的栖息地和生态情况,并更新了每个物种的分布范围。在先前描述的12个分类群中,有10个被重新确认为在马来西亚半岛存在([具体物种名称列举]),2个被确认为不在该半岛([具体物种名称列举])。报道了[具体物种名称]在马来西亚半岛的一个新记录。一个物种,[具体物种名称],被确认为在半岛存在,并被重新归类到[新的分类]。1902年的亚种[亚种名称]被提升为物种。那些不符合先前已识别物种的已检查马来西亚半岛材料被描述为新物种。总共提出了11个新物种([具体新物种名称列举])。总体而言,现在马来西亚半岛共识别出23种[具体生物名称]。
