Chloritis platytropis platytropis Moellendorff, 1894
"This fine form belongs to the group of keeled Chloritis, for which de Morgan has created the unnecessary subgenus Philidora and is closely allied to C. gabata Gld., of Mergui and Tenasserim. The type was found by Mr. Roebelen near Chaya, a village on the Malay Peninsula just opposite the Samui group within Siamese territory, the smaller variety on our islands.” (Möllendorff, 1894)
Möllendorff (1894) original descriptions on Chloritis platytropis – “T. sat aperte umbilicata, convexo-depressa, tenuis, transverse striatula, punctis impressis in seriebus regularibus dispositis sculpta, pilis brevissimis valde deciduis obsita, opaca, pallid corneobrunnea; spira parum elevate, apice plano. Anfr. 4 ½, fere plani, sutura impressa disjuncti; ultimus ad peripheriam carina bene exserta, obtuse, lata cinctus, basi convexus, medio gibbus, circa umbilicum infundibuliformem pervium compressus, subcristatus, ad aperturam breviter deflexus. Apertura fere diagonalis, irregulariter cordiformis; peristoma sat expansum, roseolabiatum, basi reflexiusculum, marginibus valde conniventibus, callo tenui junctis, columellari cum basali angulum obtusum formante.”
Möllendorff (1894) original descriptions on Chloritis platytropis samuiana – “Minor, tenuior, spira paullo magis convexa, peristomate minus expanso, vix labiato.”

Type locality – “Chaya, in littore peninsulae malaccanae insulis Samui opposito” (Möllendorff, 1894); Chloritis platytropis samuiana “in insulis Samui” (Möllendorff, 1894)
