Description of the type series
SHELL. Sinistral, tightly coiled, flat, only protoconch protrudes above dorsal surface; colour greyish yellow to light brown; protoconch large, consists of 2.5–2.75 whorls, with large tubercles, no radial lines visible; teleoconch with very fine ribs, covered by fine periostracal folds; spiral lines absent; periostracum more prominent inside sutures; whorls 5.75–6, separated by very deep suture; umbilicus regularly shaped infundibular, only last whorl widening abruptly; body whorl rounded; peristome reflected and slightly thickened; parietal callus elevated, sharp, V-shaped.
Two shells were opened. Parietal wall with a single, strongly developed lamella, which has the lower end elongated slightly posteriorly; upper end very slightly elongated in both anterior and posterior directions; main plica long, free from lamella, reaches parietal callus; one of the shells had the main plica and the apertural fold separated (probably subadult shell); inner end of main plica situated lower (closer to the lower suture); lower plica slender, runs along and parallel with lower suture and also reaches parietal callus; there is a very short additional plica between the main and lower plica; all plica start in one vertical line anterior to lamella. Palatal plicae six; first and sixth straight, run parallel with sutures; middle plicae more or less horizontal, straight or slightly wavy; sometimes with additional posterior denticle.
MEASUREMENTS (in mm). D = 10.9–12.8, H = 4–4.5 (UF 38344, n = 5); D = 11.2–13, H = 3.7–4.5 (loc. “ 5.5 km west of Chiang Rai ”, coll. REI); D = 10.6–11.7, H = 3.6–4.1 (type series, NHMUK 275.06.2.2, n = 3).
Differential diagnosis
See under Chersaecia perarcta simplex .
Distribution
Chersaecia perarcta perarcta has been reported from the vicinity of Ava, Mandalay Region, Myanmar, and from northern Thailand (see also Fig. 17 View Fig ).
Remarks
Typical shells have a well-developed apertural fold, which is in contact with the parietal callus. The apertural fold of the shells collected 4 km NE of Ban Pa Ngae is free from the parietal callus. Most of the shells (23 out of 27) from 5.5 km W of Chiang Rai lacked the apertural fold, and all four opened shells lacked a lower plica.
