BackgroundThe present study provides a checklist of land snails collected from Batu Kudik, a small and isolated limestone outcrop in Simunjan, Sarawak. A total of 24 species of land snails, representing 18 genera and 14 families were recorded, including one newly-described subspecies. The most species-rich of the families in Batu Kudik are   Diplommatinidae   (17%) and Chronidae (17%) with four recorded species from each of the families. Based on our analysis,    Plectostoma   wallacei   kudikense    subsp. nov.,    Opisthostoma   javanica    and    Georissa   pyrrhoderma    were identified as the most abundant land snails at this isolated outcrop, whereas    Diplommatina   onyx    and    Everettia   minuta    were recorded as the least abundant. All of the land snails at Batu Kudik were exclusively found sheltered between limestone boulders, underscoring the critical role of this outcrop as their refuge for survival. Consequently, conserving this biodiversity-rich limestone area becomes paramount to prevent the local extinction of these land snail species and possibly other organisms that depend on the unique attributes of the limestone for their survival. We also provide detailed descriptions of    Plectostoma   wallacei   kudikense   , a new subspecies of the genus    Plectostoma    which is endemic to Batu Kudik.New informationA description of a new subspecies    Plectostoma   wallacei   kudikense    subsp. nov.
