Abstract Abstract

The land area of Laos is composed of a large variety of undisturbed habitats, such as high mountainous areas, huge limestone karsts and the lower Mekong Basin. Therefore, Laos is expected to have a high species diversity, especially for the land snails. However, with respect to research on malacology, Laos is probably the least well-researched area for land snail diversity in Indochina (including Laos) over the past few centuries. The handful of species lists have never been systematically revised from the colonial period to the present, so these classifications are outdated. Herein we present the first comprehensive annotated checklist with an up-to-date systematic framework of the land snail fauna in Laos based on both field investigations and literature surveys. This annotated checklist is collectively composed of 231 nominal species (62 ‘prosobranch’ and 169 heterobranches), of which 221 nominal species are illustrated. The type specimens of 143 species from several museum collections and/or 144 species of newly collected specimens are illustrated. There are 58 species recorded as new to the malacofauna of the country, and two new replacement names are proposed as Hemiplectalanxangnica Inkhavilay and Panha, nomen novum (Ariophantidae) and Chloritiskhammouanensis Inkhavilay and Panha, nomen novum (Camaenidae). Four recently described species of the genus Amphidromus from Laos, “thakhekensis”, “richgoldbergi”, “attapeuensis” and “phuonglinhae” are synonymized with previously described species. In addition, thirteen nominal species are listed as uncertain records that may or may not occur in Laos. This annotated checklist may inspire malacologists to carry on systematic research in this region.

Introduction

Laos, or Lao PDR, is located in the center of the Indo-Burma region, one of the global biodiversity hotspots (Myers et al. 2000). The geographical subdivisions of the country comprise the mountainous and dry-evergreen forests in the north, massive limestone karsts, the Annamite ranges and deciduous forests in the central region, and sandstones with the Mekong floodplain and dry-dipterocarp forests in the south (King et al. 1975). These complex geographical areas associated with different climatic and vegetation conditions provide highly diverse habitats, many of which are still undisturbed, allowing the notion that Laos likely has numerous faunal and floral ‘treasures’ (Mittermeier et al. 2004, Prosperi et al. 2018). Several vertebrate faunal inventories have been performed and reported (see Duckworth et al. 1999). However, various groups of invertebrates well known as important bio-indicators for all types of forest (Hodkinson and Jackson 2005), especially the land snails are still poorly investigated.

The basic information on land snail biodiversity in Laos is scarce and scantly known. So far, the most likely first record dates back to around the middle of the nineteenth century. The well-known naturalist and traveller, Henri Mouhot, had explored the Indochina region especially during his fourth mission in Siam where he journeyed from Bangkok to Luang Phrabang (previously under the rule of Siam [Thailand]). The land snail collections gathered during Mouhot’s travel were then sent back to England under the Hugh Cuming legacy (Dance 1980, 1986) and were primarily examined and described by L. Pfeiffer (1860a, 1861a, 1863a). However, the localities recorded by H. Mouhot were very rough and only at a broad scale, such as “Camboja”, “Siam” and “Lao Mountains” (Mouhot 1864a, b). This has made the distribution range for several species to be far from certain.

Later in the late nineteenth century, the Siamese territory on the east bank of the Mekong River (forming the present-day Laos) was appended to the French colonial territories as French Indochina. Around this period, the most important explorer was the French civil servant and diplomat Auguste Pavie (his surveys so-called “Mission Pavie”), who dealed with not only diplomacy and politics but also geology and natural history (Pavie 1904). His collected natural objects included land snail specimens from French Indochina [Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and a part of Thailand] which were subsequently examined and described by several malacologists such as C.-F. Ancey, A. Bavay, H. Crosse, P. Dautzenberg, P. Fischer and L. Morlet. There were fifty nominal species of land snails from so called “Laos” which were collected during the Mission Pavie (Fischer 1891, Fischer and Dautzenberg 1904), and these were the only species lists of land snails from this area. Later, the land snail collections by the French geologist H. Counillon, mainly from the Luang Phrabang area were examined and these included some 23 nominal species (Ancey 1898). In addition, land snail collections by the German orchid collector Carl Roebelen from “Boloven” which included 13 new species were studied and published by Möllendorff (1898). About 50 years later, the French geologist, Edmund Saurin (1953) examined land snails from Pa Hia, Tran Ninh Province [probably refers to Ban Namthong, Longchaeng District, Xaisomboun Province, Laos; see Páll-Gergely et al. (2016: 13)] and described nine new species, which brought the diversity of land snails in Laos to 64 nominal species. Another fifty years later, Panha et al. (2002), Lehmann and Maassen (2004) and Maassen (2008) studied a range of land snails from various parts of Laos, recording five new taxa. The most recent treatments on Laotian land snails are from Inkhavilay et al. (2016a, b, 2017) and Páll-Gergely et al. (2016, 2017b).

This paper is the first comprehensive treatment to update the land snail diversity from Laos since the “Mission Pavie” by Fischer and Dautzenberg (1904). This study focuses on the list of the species that were formerly recorded in the literature and additionally collected from a two-year (2013–2014) field survey throughout the country, which yielded a number of new records. This includes the taxonomic updates, illustrations of type specimens (when possible) and photos of newly collected specimens. Although many land snail groups have been paid little attention and never been subjected to modern systematic revision, we also attempt to classify and clarify the vague taxa in a modern systematic framework. We hope that this article will provide the fundamental and overall knowledge on land snail biodiversity in Laos and inspire local biologists who are interested in the country’s land snail heritages.

Materials and methods

Sources

The data compiled in the checklist of land snails from Laos are from two main sources. The first is from the published malacological literature ranging from the nineteenth century until 2017. This historical literature, including the “Journal de Conchyliologie”, is available online at www.biodiversitylibrary.org and www.archive.org. The taxa described in Thach (2018) were not taken into account in this study. Furthermore, this list includes all taxa that have the type locality or subsequent reports as recorded in the areas forming the present-day “Laos”. The taxa with the type locality of “Lao Mountains, Camboja” which were described by L. Pfeiffer based on specimens from the H. Cuming ex. H. Mouhot collection are also included. This uncertain and broad-scale geographical area more likely refers to the mountainous areas of the Luang Phrabang Ranges and Petchabun Ranges in Laos and Thailand, respectively (Fig. 1). There are many taxa described by Pfeiffer (1860a, 1861a, 1863a) that were found in several localities in Laos and Thailand, but not in present-day Cambodia. Moreover, two species, Moellendorffiahorrida (Pfeiffer, 1863) and Naggsialaomontana (Pfeiffer, 1863), seem to be endemic to limestone karsts in present-day Laos. Although Fischer (1973a, b) listed Camaenaillustris (Pfeiffer, 1863) and Haploptychiuspellucens (Pfeiffer, 1863) as being found in Cambodia, the distribution of these species has to be verified with newly collected specimens and precise location records.

The numbers indicating the important cities or towns are depicted on the Mouhot map. The numbers 1 to 6 are located in present-day Thailand and 7 to 9 are in Laos. The present use of location names is given in the square brackets. 1 Bangkok 2 Patawi [Wat Phra Phutthachai, Saraburi Province] 3 Korat [Nakhon Ratchasima Province] 4 Chaiapume [Chaiyaphum Province] 5 Leuye [Loei Province] 6 Kenne Tao [Kenethao District, Xayaboury Province] 7 Paklaie [Parklai District, Xayaboury Province] 8 Thadua [Tha Deua village, Xayaboury District, Xayaboury Province] and 9 Luang Phrabang.

The other source of information was from field surveys performed during the years 2013–2014. Land snails in Laos were sampled using direct search techniques throughout the country, including the north mountainous forests, limestone areas in the central area and deciduous forests in the south (Fig. 2). Moreover, surveys were conducted in both the National Protected Areas (NPA) with permission (NUL-2013-2014), and non-protected areas including anthropogenic and plantation areas. The direct searching involved all potential land snail microhabitats that could be accessed, such as deep litter beds, decaying tree trunks, rock surfaces and crevices and, especially, limestone cliffs and caves.

Three main habitat types following geographical subdivisions, north, central and south of Laos. A Natural vegetation type of mountainous and dry-evergreen forests in the north, Luang Phrabang Province B Massive limestone karsts and caves in the central, Vientiane Province C Sandstones and dry-dipterocarp forests in lowlands of the south, Champasak Province.

All sampled locations were recorded. At each locality, we searched intensively for land snails for about 1 to 2 hours by 3 to 4 well-trained assistants. All living snails and slugs were photographed before being preserved in 70% ethanol, and empty shells were air dried in mesh-bags for one to two weeks before being sorted.

Structure of the list

Species determination and identification of specimens are based on the literature and comparisons with the type specimens and/or reference collections from several natural history museums. The classification of the higher taxa in the list is according to Bouchet et al. (2017) and the generic placements follow Kobelt (1902a), Wenz (1938), Zilch (1959–1960) and Vaught (1989). Within each family, genera and species are listed alphabetically. Within each species or subspecies, the treatment includes the original combination of the taxon name with original spelling, references to the page(s) and plate and/or figures. The type locality is given verbatim as stated in the original publication. However, when possible the modern name and/or regional name of the type locality is provided in square brackets. The most recent usage of the locality name and distribution records that addresses the occurrences of that particular taxon in “Laos” is also provided. When possible, the type materials with catalogue numbers, the illustrations of the type specimens and/or newly collected specimens are also provided. For taxa that could not be assigned to an existing name, a provisional taxonomic name is given (for example, Trochomorpha (?) sp.). The taxa that have long been known only from the literature, where the type specimens could not be traced and no new specimen was found during the field survey were also included, where their distribution records were based on the literature.

Results

This annotated checklist is based on the published literature up to 2017 and field surveys from 2013 to 2014. It comprises 231 nominal species of land snail fauna in Laos. There are 24 genera and 62 species of the ‘prosobranchs’, and 57 genera and 169 species and nine subspecies of the heterobranchs. Among these, 221 nominal species are accompanied with figures, 67 of which are known only from the type specimens. The list also includes 11 unidentified species that were collected during our field surveys and five species known only from the literature without newly collected specimens and without indication of the type specimens. In addition, thirteen taxa are considered as uncertain records requiring verification through further surveys.

Spiraculum

Pearson, 1833

Remarks.

The name Spiraculum was nominated by Pearson (1833) with Spiraculumhispidum as a type species in order to replace the name Pterocyclos Benson, 1832. This was an invalid action and Spiraculum was treated as a junior subjective synonym or a subgenus to Pterocyclos by later authors (Benson 1836: 355–358, Pfeiffer 1852: 41, Adams and Adams 1855: 278). Blanford (1863) discovered and described the second species, Spiraculumavanum and thus regarded Spiraculum as a valid genus. Kobelt (1902a: 171) incorrectly proposed a new replacement name, Pearsonia to replace Spiraculum due to the synonym, as he stated in the footnote that “The previously used name Spiraculum was introduced by Pearson as a synonym of Pterocyclos Benson”. The name, Pearsonia, was subsequently adopted as a valid genus since then. However, this substitute name was invalid as the name Spiraculum was never preoccupied (ICZN 1999, Art. 60). Thus, Spiraculum is resurrected as a valid genus and Pearsonia is treated as a junior objective synonym to Spiraculum.

Family Enidae Woodward, 1903
Apoecus

Kobelt, 1902

Remarks.

All enid species from Southeast Asia have recently been assigned to the genus Coccoderma Möllendorff, 1901 (Schileyko 2011, Köhler et al. 2017). However, this generic name is preoccupied by Coccoderma Zittel, 1887 (a fossil fish) and thus is not available. Here we provisionally assigned the Laotian species to the genus Apoecus Kobelt, 1902 (type species Bulimuscolonus Möllendorff, 1895 from New Guinea) which has the closest distribution range to the taxa studied (Köhler et al. 2017). However, additional anatomical and molecular studies are required to confirm the taxonomic position.

  • Helminthoglypta huberi Thach, 2017: 54, figs 747–749 [non Hemiplectahuberi Thach, 2017: 33, figs 389–391]. Type locality: Thakhek, Khammouane Province, Central Laos.

Etymology.

The species name “lanxangnica” is derived from “Lan Xang”, the name of the historical empire during 13th to 18th centuries, which represents the current Laotian area.

Material examined.

Holotype RMNH 5006710, paratype MNHN-IM-2000-33215 (1 shell; Fig. 36C). Specimens from Tam Xang Cave, Thakhek District, Khammouan Province (Fig. 36D).

Distribution.

Known only from the type locality in Laos (Thach 2017).

Remarks.

The genus Helminthoglypta Ancey, 1887 is mainly distributed in the California and northwest of Mexico (Schileyko 2004: 1722). In addition, the Xanthonychidae, to which this genus belongs, is mainly distributed in the New World: Central America, North America and north of South America (Schileyko 2004) and has never been recorded in the Oriental region. Placing this species in the Helminthoglypta seemed inappropriate. The medium size (width 27–34 mm and height 18–23 mm), rimate umbilicus, thin wrinkle shell surface and simple apertural lip make this species more closely resemble the genus Hemiplecta. However, examination of the genitalia anatomy is required to confirm their systematic position.

By relocating Helminthoglyptahuberi Thach, 2017 to the genus Hemiplecta, it becomes a secondary homonym of Hemiplectahuberi Thach, 2017. According to the ICZN guideline (ICZN 1999: Arts 24.2.2, 57.3.1 and 60.3), the species name of a junior homonym has to be replaced, and so we propose Hemiplectalanxangnica Inkhavilay & Panha nomen novum as the new replacement name.

Macrochlamys (?) mitis

(Pfeiffer, 1863)

Material examined.

Syntypes NHMUK ex. Cuming collection from “Lao Mountains, Camboja” (2 shells; Fig. 37B).

Distribution.

Cambodia and Laos (Fischer 1891).

Remarks.

No material of this species was found, and only the type specimens were examined. The generic placement of this species is provisional. We placed this species into Macrochlamys s.l. because it has a depressed conic shell, thin and translucent shell, smooth and shining shell surface, with 4 to 7 whorls and the last whorl rounded, and a simple apertural lip. However, this species differs slightly from Macrochlamys s.l. in having varices and a widely opened umbilicus (see Godwin-Austen (1883: 76–84) and Blanford and Godwin-Austen (1908: 77–79) for further comparison).

Macrochlamys (?) tecta

(Souleyet, 1852)

  • Megaustenia (?) tecta: Schileyko 2011: 32.

Material examined.

Syntypes NHMUK 1854.7.24.351 (2 shells; Fig. 37C).

Distribution.

Laos and Vietnam (Schileyko 2011).

Remarks.

No material of this species was found, and only the type specimens were examined. Recently, Schileyko (2011) placed this species within the semi-slug genus Megaustenia. However, the syntypes have 5 or 6 slowly increasing whorls and a narrowly opened umbilicus, so it is more appropriate to relocate it to Macrochlamys s.l. This generic placement is provisional and waiting for future genitalia information. Note that Souleyet (1852: pl. 28, fig. 15) illustrated a live specimen with large mantle lobes, and without a caudal foss and caudal horn on the posterior end of the body, which is distinct from the typical Indian Macrochlamys s.l. (see Godwin-Austen (1883: 76–84) and Blanford and Godwin-Austen (1908: 77–79) for further comparison).

Distribution.

Known from several localities in Laos and probably in Vietnam (Schileyko 2011, Inkhavilay et al. 2017, Thach 2017).

Remarks.

The holotype of Amphidromusthakhekensis Thach & Huber, 2017 is identical to the un-banded colour form of A.fuscolabris, which probably reflects intra-population variation rather than separate biological species entities. Therefore, we recognised this name as a junior synonym of A.fuscolabris.

Amphidromus gerberi

Thach & Huber, 2017

  • Amphidromus gerberi Thach & Huber in Thach, 2017: 39, 40, figs 649–652, 654, 655. Type locality: Don Khong Island on Mekong River, Si Phan Don, South Laos [Khong District, Champasak Province, Laos].

Remarks.

Amphidromusrichgoldbergi Thach & Huber, 2017 has a dextral shell, yellowish-green periostracum and a brownish spot on the apex (Thach 2017). These characters are the intraspecific variations of A.givenchyi (Sutcharit and Panha 2006, Inkhavilay et al. 2017) rather than indicative of different biological species entities. Therefore, we recognised this name as a junior synonym of A.givenchyi.

Etymology.

The species name “khammouanensis” is from the type locality of the type specimens in Laos.

Material examined.

Holotype MNHN-IM-2000-33214 (Fig. 50E). Specimens from Tam Xang Cave, Thakhek District, Khammouan Province (Fig. 50F).

Distribution.

Known only from the type locality in Laos (Thach 2017).

Remarks.

This species was originally placed in the genus Megalacron Rensch, 1934. It seemed inappropriate since all the known members are distributed in the Bismarck and Solomon Islands. Moreover, the subfamily Papuninae where Megalacron belongs has a restricted distribution in New Guinea, Australia and Melanesia (Schileyko 2003b: 1605, 1606). With a medium shell size, depressed helicoid, expanded lip and rimate umbilicus, they are practically identical to the generic characters of Chloritis s.l., although this placement requires further anatomical study for confirmation.

By relocating Megalacronhuberi Thach, 2017 to the genus Chloritis, it becomes a junior secondary homonym of Chloritishuberi Thach, 2016 (see below). According to the ICZN guideline (ICZN 1999: Arts 57.3.1 and 60.3), the species name of a junior homonym has to be replaced, and so we propose Chloritiskhammouanensis Inkhavilay & Panha, nomen novum as the new replacement name.

Remarks.

No material of this species was found, and only the type specimen was examined. As Schileyko (2011) did not give the exact locality and reference to the record of this species in Laos, and all other previous records were from “Annam” [the old name for Vietnam] (Siriboon et al. 2014a), the occurrence of this species in Laos is questionable.

Haploptychius fischeri

(Morlet, 1886)

  • Streptaxis fischeri Morlet, 1886a: 2. Type locality: baie ďHalong et montagne de ľÉléphant [Ha Long Bay and Elephant Mountain, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam]. Morlet 1887[1886]: 259, 274, 275, pl. 12, figs 1, 1a.

Material examined.

Lectotype MNHN-IM-2000-30873 (Fig. 59B).

Distribution.

Laos and Vietnam (Schileyko 2011).

Remarks.

No material of this species was found, and only the type specimen was examined. Schileyko (2011) listed this species as occurring in Laos from the Elephant Mountains. However, this locality is possibly more likely to be the Elephant Islet of Ha Long Bay, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. Thus, the occurrence of this species in Laos is questionable.

Perrottetia daedalea

Syntype of “var. major Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1909” MNHN-IM-2000-30871 from “Pac-Kha” (1 shell; Fig. 59C).

Distribution.

Laos and possibly in Vietnam (Schileyko 2011).

Remarks.

No material of this species was found, and only the type specimen was examined. Schileyko (2011) attributed the type locality (Pac-Kha) to Laos. However, this locality is more likeky to be Pa Kha in Long Luong Commune, Van Ho District, Son La Province, Vietnam. Thus, the occurrence of this species in Laos is questionable.

Family Plectopylidae Möllendorff, 1898
Halongella Páll-Gergely, 2015
Halongella schlumbergeri

Syntypes MNHN-IM-2000-24582 (2 shells; Fig. 59D).

Distribution.

Laos and Vietnam (Schileyko 2011, Páll-Gergely et al. 2015b).

Remarks.

Although Schileyko (2011) listed this species as occurring in Laos from the Elephant Mountains, the recent revision by Páll-Gergely et al. (2015b) did not list any specimens from Laotian area. In addition, Elephant Mountain is more likely to be the Elephant Islet of Ha Long Bay, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. Thus, the occurrence of this species in Laos is questionable and no material of this species was found from this survey to clarify the distribution range of this species.

Remarks.

No material of this species was found and the type specimen could not be traced. This species was figured in Morlet (1887: pl. 12, fig. 5; see Fig. 17I). Schileyko (2011) listed this species as occurring in Laos from the Elephant Mountains. However, this locality is possibly more likely to be the Elephant Islet of Ha Long Bay, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. Thus, the occurrence of this species in Laos is questionable.

Remarks.

No material of this species was found. Schileyko (2011) listed this species as occurring in Laos from the Elephant Mountains. However, this locality is possibly more likely to be the Elephant Islet of Ha Long Bay, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. Thus, the occurrence of this species in Laos is questionable.

Family Ariophantidae Godwin-Austen, 1888
Hemiplecta dura

(Pfeiffer, 1864)

Material examined.

Syntypes NHMUK ex. Cuming collection from “Waigiou Island” (2 shells; Fig. 59E).

Distribution.

West Papua Province, Indonesia (Wallace 1865, Tapparone Canefri 1883, Gude 1903b) and Laos (Pfeiffer 1868a, Fischer 1891, Gude 1903a).

Remarks.

No material of this species was found in this study and no specimen with a precise locality from Indochina has been recorded so far. Only the type specimens were examined, and the type specimen is illustrated herein for the first time. The species was originally described from West Papua, Indonesia (Pfeiffer 1864). Later, Pfeiffer (1868a) recorded this species from “Lao Mountains, Cambojae” based on H. Mouhot specimens. Since then, subsequent records followed the previous literature without specimens from Indochina. Thus, we place this species as an uncertain record in Laos.

Microparmarion Simroth, 1893
Microparmarion andamanica

Collinge, 1901

  • Microparmarion andamanica Collinge, 1901b: 17, 18, pl. 1, figs 7–10. Type locality: North Andaman [error]. Schileyko 2011: 35.

  • Microparmarion annamica Collinge, 1901a: 120. Type locality: Mekong Valley, Annam [correct type locality].

Distribution.

Laos and probably in Vietnam (Schileyko 2011).

Remarks.

The correct type locality of this species should be “Mekong Valley, Annam” (see Collinge 1901a). No material of this species was found, and the species was figured in Collinge (1901b: pl. 1, figs 7, 8, see Fig. 17J). Schileyko (2011) attributed the type locality (Mekong Valley) to Laos, whereas Collinge (1901b) also mentioned “Annam” which is the old name for Vietnam. Thus, the occurrence of this species in Laos is questionable.

Sarika dugasti

(Morlet, 1891)

  • Macrochlamys dugasti Morlet, 1891b: 25, 26. Type locality: forêts des bords du Ménam-Pinh, Laos occidental [forest edges of Ping River, Thailand].

  • Ariophanta (Macrochlamys) dugasti : Morlet 1891a: 231, 239, 240, pl. 5, figs 1, 1a.

  • Sarika dugasti : Schileyko 2011: 34.

Material examined.

Syntype MNHN-IM-2000-27884 from “Forêts des bords du Ménam-Pinh, Laos occidental” (1 shell; Fig. 59F).

Distribution.

Laos, Nepal, Thailand and probably in Vietnam (Schileyko 2011).

Remarks.

No material of this species was found, and only the type specimen was examined. The type locality is mentioned as “Ménam-Pinh, Laos occidental” where Schileyko (2011) attributed this locality to Laos. However, this locality is probably the Ping River which flows from Chiang Mai to Lamphun, Tak, Kampang Phet and Nakhon Sawan Provinces in Thailand. This species has been collected from several localities in Chiang Mai, Lamphun and Tak Provinces, so these are likely to be a more precise type locality. Thus, the occurrence of this species in Laos is questionable.

Family Camaenidae Pilsbry, 1895
Subfamily Camaeninae Pilsbry, 1895
Amphidromus dautzenbergi

Fulton, 1899

Material examined.

Holotype NHMUK 1899.12.18.38 (Fig. 60A).

Figure 60.

Figure 60.

AAmphidromusdautzenbergi, holotype NHMUK 1899.12.18.38 BChloritishuberi, paratype MNHN-IM-2014-6068 C, DGlobotrochusonesteraC syntype MNHN-IM-2000-32456 and D specimen MNHN-IM-2000-2073.

Distribution.

Laos and Vietnam (Schileyko 2011).

Remarks.

No material of this species was found, and only the type specimen was examined. Schileyko (2011) listed this species as occurring in Laos from Ban Lao. However, this locality is more likely to be Ban Lao in Muong Bum Commune, Thuan Chau District, Son La Province, Vietnam. Thus, the occurrence of this species in Laos is questionable.

Camaena hainanensis

(Adams, 1870)

  • Helix (Camaena) hainanensis Adams, 1870: 8, pl. 1, fig. 15. Type locality: Hainan [Hainan Province, China].

  • Camaena hainanensis : Richardson 1985: 73.

  • Camaena hainanensis hainanensis : Schileyko 2011: 42.

Distribution.

Hainan Island, Laos and Vietnam (Schileyko 2011).

Remarks.

Schileyko (2011) listed this species as occurring in Laos from the Elephant Mountains. However, this locality is more likely to be the Elephant Islet of Ha Long Bay, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. In addition, Páll-Gergely (pers. comm.) suggested this species does not occur in Laos. Thus, the occurrence of this species in Laos is questionable.

Chloritis huberi

Thach, 2016

  • Chloritis huberi Thach, 2016: 72, 73, figs 49, 407–410. Type locality: Khanh Vinh, Kanh Hao Province, (Central Vietnam).

Material examined.

Holotype ANSP 466247, paratype MNHN-IM-2014-6068 (1 shell; Fig. 60B).

Distribution.

The type locality and probably in Da Lat, Lam Dong Province, Vietnam (Thach 2016).

Remarks.

The relatively small size, and a simple apertural lip without constriction all probably indicate that the type specimens are juveniles. In the original description, Thach (2016) compared this new species with Chloritisbifoveata (Benson, 1856b: 251) from Myanmar instead of the proximal species, Chloritisdiplochone from Southern Laos (Sutcharit and Panha 2010). However, a biconcave shell shape with a narrow umbilicus and spire side, and the last whorl superimposed on the penultimate whorl are likely to be unusual distinguishing characters of the species. As this species is similar to Chloritisdiplochone (Fig. 48D, E), we surmise that this species could possibly occur in Laos. Therefore, we follow the original identification and wait for additional adult specimens to clarify the species status and its distribution range.

Globotrochus Haas, 1935
Globotrochus onestera

(Mabille, 1887)

Material examined.

Syntypes MNHN-IM-2000-32456 from “Tonkin” (2 shells; Fig. 60C). Specimen MNHN-IM-2000-2073 from “Tonkin” (1 shell; Fig. 60D).

Distribution.

Laos and Vietnam (Schileyko 2011).

Remarks.

No material of this species was found, and only the type specimens were examined. Schileyko (2011) listed this species as occurring in Laos from the Elephant Mountains. However, this locality is possibly more likely to be the Elephant Islet of Ha Long Bay, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. Thus, the occurrence of this species in Laos is questionable.
