Material examined

LAOS: 2 shells, Vientiane Province, Long Tieng 1 km E on road towards Sanasomboun, small ponor cave deposits at foot of limestone cliffs right side of the road, 19.098124° N, 102.938746° E, 978 m a.s.l., 24 Feb. 2017, J. Grego leg. (coll. JG, inventory no. L4419).

Remarks

This species was described based on empty shells, which were collected by Edmond Saurin in the 1960s. The locality names on the labels could not be exactly located on available maps. We speculated that Saurin’s “Pa Hia” may be Ban Namthong (19°3.2′ N, 103°17′ E) (Páll-Gergely et al. 2016). I have since had the chance to examine two shells recently collected from the above-mentioned site in Vientiane Province, Laos. This represents the first exact locality of this species, located ca 37 km east (in a straight line) from Pa Hia (see also Fig. 12).
