The genus Perrottetia differs from all other Southeast Asian streptaxid genera in having two longitudinal furrows outside the aperture. Apertural dentition usually comprises one or two parietal lamellae, plus, palatal, basal and columellar lamellae. Genitalia with long penis, penial hooks present, and vaginal hooks sometimes present ( Zilch 1960, Schileyko 2000, Siriboon et al. 2013).

Currently, 29 Perrottetia species are recognized, from India and Sri Lanka to Indochina and southern China ( Kobelt 1906, Richardson 1988, Schileyko 2011, Siriboon et al. 2013). Two species have been reported from Laos, Perrottetia dugasti (Morlet, 1892) and Perrottetia daedaleus (Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1908) (see Schileyko 2011).
