Location of Mount Tongkoko, where Chloritis minahassae lives.

The type locality is the peak of the Sudara volcano, Northern Sulawesi; in German language: "Nord Celebes, Gipfel des Vulkans Sudara; Vulkan Lokon; Bone Gebirge".[2]

New records by Maassen (2009)[2] are from northern Sulawesi: Tangkoko Nature Reserve, moss forest at Sudara Vulcano; east Shore Lake Tondok, 12.5 km east of Kotamobagu, 00°43.44’N 124°26.40’E.[2]

Shell description

The shell is small for the genus, brown, with hairs, with impressed spire, umbilicated, the ends of the peristome connected with a thin callus.[2] The width of the shell is 11–13 mm.[2]

gollark: You would configure a channel for making/receiving calls, and it would be assigned a "number" (maybe four random words, even) with which other people could apiocall (alternative name pending) you.If you take an apiocall, you would then temporarily have messages be apioformically transmitted between the servers on each end until someone ends it.
gollark: So, I was thinking about an AutoBotRobot "phone" system:
gollark: Yes, your eyes are not designed to bleed ichor and this is considered a bug.
gollark: I have seen the names, yes.
gollark: ... 3 of which are empty apart from one other person?
