Distribution. Laotia christahemmenae christahemmenae is known from Ha Noi and SƠn La Provinces in northern Vietnam; its occurrence in Luang Prabang Province of Laos requires verification, see Remarks ( Fig. 2 View Fig ).
Remarks. In the original description only a strongly corroded holotype and a paratype with broken aperture were available, therefore the fine sculpture and intraspecific variability of this species could not be properly described. The newly collected specimens agree with the holotype in general shell shape and the absence of ribs behind the peristome; therefore they are treated conspecific. The holotype had ca. 86 ribs on the last whorl, whereas it was slightly more in most (but not all) shells of the newly examined populations (2020/23: 74–98 ribs/last whorl, n=3; 2020/7: 100–110 ribs/ last whorl, n=3). The rib morphology of the newly collected shells could also be examined. The first ca. 1.5 whorls of the teleoconch possess widely-spaced ribs. The rib density changes rather abruptly to denser ribbing, and remains such until the ribs disappear near the aperture. Ribs (even the ones on the initial teleoconch whorls) are bent in direction of their anterior neighbours (towards aperture), apart from the widely-spaced ribs on the first 1.5 teleoconch whorls the ribs nearly reaching each other. In case of L. luongi , new species, the ribs are straight.
The single shell from Luang Prabang province in Laos (MNHN-IM-2012-27224) is strongly corroded, its apex and body whorl are broken. It matches with other L. christahemmenae shells in general shell shape, size, and the absence of ribs behind the peristome. Therefore, until more material becomes available from the same locality, we provisionally identify these shells as Laotia cf. christahemmenae .
