Brotia bogani Thach & Huber in Thach, 2020 syn. nov.
= Melania baccata elongata Annandale (1918b) : 115; pl. 12, figs 3–7.
= Brotia henriettae Köhler & Glaubrecht (2002) : 137.
= Brotia bogani Thach (2020a) : 23; pl. 5, figs 57–58.
Holotype: NCSM 113629 View Materials (North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences , Raleigh, North Carolina, United States of America).
Type locality: Inle Lake , Myanmar [approx. 20.55°N, 96.92°E, Salween River basin] GoogleMaps .
Comments: It is unfortunate that Thach (2020a) did not notice the work of Annandale (1918b) on the malacofauna of Lake Inle and surrounding waters. The shell appearance and sculpture of Brotia bogani are identical to those of B. frankhuberi Thach, 2020 but the type series of the first taxon lacks the dark periostracum due to artificial or natural cleaning. In its turn, Brotia frankhuberi is conspecific with Melania baccata elongata Annandale, 1918 that was considered a synonym of Brotia henriettae (Gray in Griffith & Pidgeon, 1833) [= B. baccata (Gould, 1847) ] (see below for detail and references).
