Thanks Wolfgang and Geoff,
I think you guys are correct about Cyclophorus. The picture of C.
daranganicus in the Compendium of Landsnails isn't too convincing, but the
picture in Tropical Landshells of the World looks pretty close.

Can anyone pin a name on this one? A distinctive looking shell but I can't
place it. Papuina?

I think this not a Papuina. I suggest this Cyclophorus c/f daraganicus
HIDALGO 1888, he described also two similar spec. (prietoi and tigrinus)
from the Philippines.
Papuina admiralitatis is much higher. The last whorl is round in Papuina,
here you have edges in the whorl like in Cyclophorus, the lip on the
aperture is also like Cyclophorus and not like Papuina.
