BROTIA ARMATA (BRANDT, 1968) View in CoL

Material examined

Thailand: Tung Salang Luang rapids [ USNM 794081; as Paracrostoma paludiformis (Yen, 1939) ].

Remarks

Very similar to Brotia pagodula (see Fig. 13A View Figure 13 ), in shape and configuration of the inner crescentic pad, glandular pad, accessory marginal fold, and proximal tip of the major typhlosole. Brotia armata differs from the former primarily in the presence of a broader, more flattened outer crescentic pad, with only weak striae on the surface, an accessory marginal fold that extends back from the posterior tip of the outer crescentic pad, and typhlosoles that are fused only along the distal two-thirds.
