Bulimus leucoxanthus Martens, 1864: 526. Type locality: unknown.

Amphidromus (Amphidromus) atricallosus leucoxanthus : Sutcharit and Panha 2006: 20, 21, figs 3p, 4a-e, 10d-f, 12b, 14c, d, 15c.

Material examined.

Locality no. 7: CUMZ-CM018 (2 shells; Fig. 11D View Figure 11 ), CUMZ-CM020 (2 specimens in ethanol; Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ). The snails were found to live on tree trunks and leaves.

Distribution.

Eastern Thailand ( Sutcharit and Panha 2006).

Remarks.

This species has been formerly treated as a subspecies within A. atricallosus ( Sutcharit and Panha 2006). However, this species differs from A. atricallosus by having an elongate conic shell with thick or thin and whitish parietal callus, while A. atricallosus usually has a more ovate shell, with thickened and black parietal callus. In addition, A. leucoxanthus tends to be distributed in the eastern part of Thailand and in Cambodia, while A. atricallosus occurs in eastern and southern Thailand along the Tenasserim ranges and in southern Myanmar. Moreover, molecular phylogenetic data suggested a distinct lineage between A. leucoxanthus and A. atricallosus ( Sutcharit et al. 2007).
