Pseudopomatias caligosus Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi, 2018: 64 , fig. 3.

Material examined. One adult and a juvenile shell, JG/1, Myanmar, Kayah State, Demoso, 36 km west towards Taungoo , 169.5 km milestone, 19°34.660′N, 96°59.845′E, coll. Jozef Grego, 17 May 2019 .

Remarks. This species was described from Thailand’s Mae Hong Son Province, which is situated ca. 125 km from the new locality. The only notable difference between the adult shell from Myanmar and the type series is that the latter ones have a more reflected outer peristome, and a paler colour. More specimens would be necessary to see whether the differences are stable between the two known populations. However, at the moment, due to general similarity in shell shape, size and sculpture and aperture shape, we consider the specimens from Myanmar conspecific with the Thai P. caligosus .
