(2004a)

Aulacus houstoni
keys out with
A. longiventris
and
A. belairensis
. The three species can be separated readily by the lateral medial carina above the toruli, which is present in
A. longiventris
and
A. houstoni
but is absent in
A. belairensis
. For additional differences, see under
A. belairensis
above.
