Kalamantania whiteheadi is a species of air-breathing land snail, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Dyakiidae.
Kalamantania whiteheadi is the only species in the genus Kalamantania.[3]

This species was originally discovered and described as Helicarion (?) whiteheadi by Henry Haversham Godwin-Austen in 1891.[2]
Godwin-Austen's original text (the type description) reads as follows:
Helicarion (?) whiteheadi, n. sp. (Plate v. fig. 1.)
Shell depressedly globose, tumid, slight subangulation on periphery, not perforate; sculpture coarse, a peculiarly wrinkled surface, the lines having a very oblique transverse direction; colour rich umberbrown, pale purple and iridescent within the aperture; spire low, rounded on apex; suture impressed; whorls 3, rapidly increasing, the last much expanded; aperture widely ovate, oblique; peristome thin, not reflected at all on columellar margin, which is subvertical.
Size: maj. diam. 35.0, min. 28.0; alt. axis 12.0; breadth of aperture 20.0 millim.
