Amphidromus centrocelebensis Bollinger, 1918
The first live-taken shells I've ever had. This species has a very limited range in central Sulawesi Island. It is rare in collections due to the inaccessible habitat. This is one of only two species in the subgenus Syndromus that include dextral specimens. A limited number of sinistral (left-handed) and dextral (right-handed) specimens are available.
** Indicate a quantity of 2 if selecting a sinistral-dextral pair. ** Due to availability. (Due to availability) (Note any other preference details) |

Amphidromus columellaris Moellendorff, 1892

Amphidromus enganoensis enganoensis Fulton, 1896
The nominate form of this species is limited to Engano Island. This lot contains superb specimens. There are no less than five color forms with numerous intergrades, so essentially no two are alike. There are also sinistral and dextral (left and right-handed) specimens.
** Change the quantity to 2 when ordering a color set of two ** Color sets of 2 include a sinistral and dextral specimen. Color forms due to availability. (Due to availability) (Note any other preference details) |

Amphidromus kruijti P. & F. Sarasin, 1899
A. kruijti is limited to northern Sulawesi Island, where each population varies in color. On the islands north of Sulawesi is a population that seems remarkably different from the mainland forms. This off-island lot may represent a new form, or possibly a new species.

Amphidromus laevus (Müller, 1774)
A. laevus inhabits some of the more remote islands in eastern Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Each island which harbors the species have significantly different forms, illustrating how isolation and evolution have influenced the species. The Leti Islands off eastern Timor have very distinct populations. This lot represents those from Leti Island. The species is quite rare in collections and this form is even rarer.

Amphidromus perversus niveus P. & F. Sarasin, 1899
Amphidromus perversus varies considerably from location to location. It has one of the widest geographical ranges off all species in the genus. The type species of A. perversus is a white shell, later described as form niveus, which this lot represents. This lot is from extreme southern Sulawesi Island and a small island form. These dextral (right-handed) shells are beautiful, outlined with black.

Amphidromus perversus sultanus Lamarck, 1822
This lot includes a group of hand-selected shells with a broad range of colors and patterns -- yellow, white, purple-pink, flammulated, axially banded, etc. -- no two are alike. These distinct color forms are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

color form: decolor Tapparone Canefri, 1884 Populations of this color form are found in the central part of the northern peninsula of Sulawesi. It is found in pure colonies and it also mixes with a beige-colored form. This form is also illustrated in Abbott's Compendium of Landshells.

Amphidromus sinistralis (Reeve, 1849)
color form: lutea "Martens" Fulton, 1896 Populations of A. sinistralis throughout its known distribution in northern Sulawesi exhibit very different and distinct shape and/or color variations. This localized population was appropriately described at "lutea" for its consistent yellow color, which is, in fact, a yellow periostracum.
