Material examined.
Holotype CUMZ 5003, paratypes CUMZ 5004 (4 shells). Ban Namone, Xayabouly, Laos: CUMZ 6278 (2 shells; Fig. 5E), CUMZ 6279 (1 specimen in ethanol). Ban Bo Khoun, Boun Neua, Phongsaly, Laos: CUMZ 6280 (1 shell).
Remarks.
Perrottetia aquilonaria
was described from several localities in the northern part of Thailand with a complete information on shell, radula and genitalia. The specimens collected from limestone outcrops in Borkeo and Phongsaly of Laos have both shells and genitalia that match very well with this species. Laos specimens seem to differ only in the slightly smaller shell, therefore we treated them as the same species.
Perrottetia aquilonaria
can be distinguished from
Perrottetia dugasti
and
Perrottetia messageri
from Vietnam by having a depressed spire, shouldered last whorl, thin parietal callus and upper-parietal lamella separated at a right angle. In contrast,
Perrottetia dugasti
has a rounded last whorl and a small upper-parietal lamella located deeper inside the aperture, and
Perrottetia messageri
has paralleled parietal lamellae, a small supercolumellar lamella is present, and the left side of the penultimate whorl extended beyond the diameter of the last whorl (Fig. 5A, D).
