Abstract
A new species of land snail belonging to the family Cyclophoridae is described from a non-karstic hill dipterocarp forest in Peninsular Malaysia. Pearsonia tembatensis new species, differs from other congeners by its wrinkled shell surfaces, glossy top whorls and a short sutural tube just behind the peristome. Based on comparisons with other cyclophorids, we assign this species to the genus Pearsonia—this represents a new record for this genus in Peninsular Malaysia and also extends the southern limit of its distribution on mainland Southeast Asia.
