Rhaphaulus lorrainii [sic]- Habe 1965: 115, 116, pl. 2, fig. 12, as a synonym of Rhaphaulus chrysalis , Khao Chong, Trang Province, peninsular Thailand.

Rhaphaulus chrysalis ?- Maassen 2001: 42, West Malaysia.

Type material examined.

Syntypes NHMUK 20130454 (3 shells; Fig. 13A View Figure 13 ) from Pulo Penang.

Other material examined.

CUMZ 12162 (1 shell; Fig. 13B View Figure 13 ) from Kiriwong (Tham Kope) Temple, Thap Put District, Phang Nga Province, 16 Jan. 2009.

Diagnosis.

Shell ovate; body whorls bulging. Tube cylindrical, pointing upward and forward.

Differential diagnosis.

Rhaphaulus lorraini can be distinguished from all other species from mainland Southeast Asia by a cylindrical tube pointing upward and forward.

Distribution.

Malaysia and southern Thailand ( Laidlaw 1928; Páll-Gergely et al. 2014).

Remarks.

It is possible that R. chrysalis sensu Habe (1965) from Khao Chong, Trang Province, southern Thailand is R. lorraini . This species is distributed in the Malay Peninsula and is disjunct from R. chrysalis , which is distributed in northeastern India and Myanmar. See also remarks in R. ascendens .
