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).
