Streptaxis eburnea Pfeiffer, 1861 , by original designation. Remark. Shells of Oophana and Indoartemon are similar but there are differences in the apertural dentition. Indoartemon possesses one parietal lamella and one palatal lamella; in addition basal and columellar lamellae are present in I. layardianus ( Benson, 1853 ) and I. cingalensis ( Benson, 1853 ) . Apertural dentition of Oophana usually includes a single parietal lamella, palatal lamella, basal lamella, and columellar lamella. An upper palatal lamella or supracolumellar lamella are present in some species such as Oophana strangulatus ( Möllendorff, 1894 ) , O. diplodon ( Möllendorff, 1900 ) , and O. pachyglottis ( Möllendorff, 1900 ) . The first genital morphological study of Indoartemon presented here indicates that the following characters may be diagnostic for the genus; a long penis with a thin penial sheath extending about half of the penis length; penial hooks present. The vas deferens does not pass through the penial sheath. The seminal vesicle is about one and a half times longer than the length from the talon to the branching point of the seminal vesicle. In Oophana the vas deferens enters the penial sheath distally, penial hooks and a seminal vesicle are present ( Berry, 1963 ).
