Dyakia braammorrisi (P. & F. Sarasin, 1899)
Species in the genus Dyakia were only known from Borneo, Sumatra and west Java. This species represents the only Dyakia from Sulawesi, formerly classified and described in the genus Hemiplecta. It is also one of the largest species in the genus.

Amphidromus adamsii adamsii (Reeve, 1848)
Form: superbus Fulton, 1896 By any accounts, one of the most beautiful land shells. It is difficult to describe, so check the pictures. No two are the same. The powder-blue color is quite unique for a molluscan shell. The combination of blue, green, red/orange yellow and white make this shell a standout in any collection. The color form is quite rare and endemic to one small island.
