Andrew, I have also seen B similaris in Vanuatu New Caledonia, PNG, and Kandavu, Fiji. Along the south coast of Viti LEvu a few years ago if you can find a patch of forest that is relatively undisturbed there are still the large "Nanina pfeifferi" (unsure of exact name) plus a few Helicinids and Diplommatinids and ?Truncatella sp as well as those you mentioned. Alas no Placostylus anymore. I do not think the main Fiji islands were ever particularly diverse in there snail fauna.
