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.
Geoff
