Is it Imbricaria vanikorensis?
Scabricola (Swainsonia) limata and S. ocellata are similar in color and pattern, but S. ocellata is generally more elongate, with a taller spire, and a length-width ratio about 3. Â S. limata typically looks "short and plump" with distinctly rounded whorls, and a length-width ratio slightly more than 2. Â Also, the spiral grooves in S. limata are distinctly punctate, while in S. ocellata they are smooth or nearly so. Â For these reasons I think this specimen is S. limata.
