Material examined.

Locality no. 9: CUMZ-CM043 (8 shells). Locality no. 13: CUMZ-CM127 (2 shells), CUMZ-CM118 (2 shells). Locality no. 10: CUMZ-CM062 (3 shells; Fig. 6E View Figure 6 ), CM063 (1 shell), CUMZ-CM064 (2 specimens in ethanol). The snails were found to live on the ground among leaf litter.

Distribution.

Cambodia, Laos and Thailand ( Inkhavilay et al. 2019).

Remarks.

Opisthoporus bernardii was originally described from “Siam” [Thailand], and it has been reported from Cambodia ( Fischer 1973a) and Laos ( Inkhavilay et al., 2019). The diagnostic characters of this species are the depressed helicoid shell, with thick or thin periostracum, circular aperture, and a short to long sutural tube (accessory breathing device) located just behind an apertural lip. Pfeiffer (1862) provided details of the operculum, which is calcareous and has a multi-spiral plate-like shape, while the operculum of Rhiostoma is thick calcareous and has a multi-spiral cup shape ( Egorov 2009).
