Morlet, 1885[1884]: 391, 392, pl. 12, fig. 1. Type locality: Near the Kamchay rapids, around the
Kebal-Remeas

:

Material examined.
Locality no. 9: CUMZ-CM044 (7 shells), CUMZ-CM045 (12 specimens in ethanol). Locality no. 10: CUMZ-CM068 (3 specimens in ethanol). Locality no. 11: CUMZ-CM079 (2 shells). Locality no. 13: CUMZ-CM128 (3 shells), CM129 (53 specimens in ethanol; Fig.
3A
). Locality no. 17: CUMZ-CM137 (18 shells; Fig.
7A, B
). The snails were found to live on the ground among leaf litter and decaying wood, on tree trunks and limestone wall.
Distribution.
Cambodia and Laos (
Inkhavilay et al. 2019
).
Remarks.
This species was described from
"...
grotte de
Kebal-Remeas
(route de Kampot
a
Hatien)
..."
. We collected topotypic specimens that tend to have a variable shell colour from yellowish (Fig.
7A
, see fig. 9b in
Inkhavilay et al. 2019
for the syntype) to purplish-black (Fig.
7B
). This limestone associated species has a wide distribution from southern Cambodia to eastern Laos (
Inkhavilay et al. 2019
). The snails are commonly found in montane forest, living on decaying wood, on tree trunks and exposed limestone.

Lagocheilus klobukowskii
was originally placed in the genus
Cyclophorus
and later was transferred to the genus
Lagocheilus
(see
Inkhavilay et al. 2019
). The distinguishing characters from the genus
Cyclophorus
are a conic shell, an aperture thickened (not expanded), and a thick calcareous, multispiral and plate-like operculum, whereas
Cyclophorus
has a turbinate shell, a thick and expanded lip, and a corneous multispiral operculum.
