Naesiotus bambamarcaensis is a species of tropical air-breathing land snail, a pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Orthalicidae.

Distribution

The type locality is Cerro Machaipungo near Bambamarca.[2] Breure (2010)[2] have published another locality Chalamarca 06°29’29’S 078°28’07’W, Cajamarca Region, Peru, that is about 20 km SSW from the type locality.[2]

Description

The specimens from the Chalamarca locality are slightly smaller than the holotype and vary in their dimensions, but otherwise show the colour pattern characteristic for this species, viz. corneous-brown with a whitish spiral band at the periphery of the last whorl.[2]
