Bulimus (?) gracilis (?) Hutton, 1834: 84, 85, 93. Type locality: Mirzapoor; Futtehpoor Sikra; between Agra and Neemuch [Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh States, India].

Allopeas gracilis [sic]: Inkhavilay et al. 2019: 50, fig. 21a-c.

Material examined.

Locality no. 12: CUMZ-CM105 (1 shell; Fig. 9A View Figure 9 ). Locality no. 6: CUMZ-CM177 (5 specimens in ethanol). The snails were found to live on the ground among leaf litter.

Distribution.

Pantropical and subtropical ( Robinson et al. 2009).

Remarks.

This is the first official record of the non-native A. gracile in Cambodia. This species could be found in both natural and transformed anthropogenic habitats. This widespread and pantropical species has been introduced into many countries, including in greenhouses in temperate regions, and occurs throughout Laos, Thailand and Vietnam ( Schileyko 2011, Inkhavilay et al. 2019).
