The present study provides a checklist of land snails collected from Batu Kudik, a small and isolated limestone outcrop in Simunjan, Sarawak. A total of 24 species of land snails, representing 18 genera and 14 families were recorded, including one newly-described subspecies. The most species-rich of the families in Batu Kudik are Diplommatinidae (17%) and Chronidae (17%) with four recorded species from each of the families. Based on our analysis, subsp. nov., and were identified as the most abundant land snails at this isolated outcrop, whereas and were recorded as the least abundant. All of the land snails at Batu Kudik were exclusively found sheltered between limestone boulders, underscoring the critical role of this outcrop as their refuge for survival. Consequently, conserving this biodiversity-rich limestone area becomes paramount to prevent the local extinction of these land snail species and possibly other organisms that depend on the unique attributes of the limestone for their survival. We also provide detailed descriptions of , a new subspecies of the genus which is endemic to Batu Kudik.

本研究提供了一份从砂拉越州斯蒙詹的一个小型孤立石灰岩露头 Batu Kudik 采集的陆生蜗牛清单。共记录了 24 种陆生蜗牛,分属于 18 个属和 14 个科,其中包括一个新描述的亚种。Batu Kudik 物种最丰富的科是 Diplommatinidae 科(17%)和 Chronidae 科(17%),每个科都记录到 4 个物种。根据我们的分析,[具体物种名 1]亚种、[具体物种名 2]亚种被确定为这个孤立露头处数量最多的陆生蜗牛,而[具体物种名 3]和[具体物种名 4]的数量最少。Batu Kudik 所有的陆生蜗牛都只在石灰岩巨石之间被发现,这突出了这个露头作为它们生存避难所的关键作用。因此,保护这个生物多样性丰富的石灰岩地区对于防止这些陆生蜗牛物种以及可能依赖石灰岩独特特性生存的其他生物的局部灭绝至关重要。我们还提供了对[具体物种名 5]的详细描述,它是 Batu Kudik 特有的[属名]属的一个新亚种。
