Diagnosis.
Shell globose; last whorl ca. 80% of shell height. Apertural lip very thickened and slightly expanded; with a furrow between inner and outer peristomes; inner peristome thickened, cord-like; apertural lip angled when observed from lateral view. Columellar tooth curved downward like an earlobe.
Differential diagnosis.
The globose shell shape of
P. godwinausteni
sp. nov. is most similar to
P. siamensis
, but
P. godwinausteni
sp. nov. differs from
P. siamensis
in having a larger shell, a more prominent parietal callus, a thicker apertural lip with a furrow between inner and outer peristomes, with an inner peristome thickened and cord-like, a longer posterior canal, a wider and more curved columellar tooth, and a more angled apertural lip when observed from lateral view.
Description.
Shell height 7.7-9.5 mm; shell width 5.5-7.0 mm. Shell globose, solid, semi-transparent, brown, devoid of prominent sculpture on glazed smooth surface. Apex obtuse. Growth lines on shell surface inconspicuous. Whorls 5, last whorl large (ca. 80% of shell height) and bulging. Spire angle ca. 90°, somewhat extended. Sutures slightly impressed, but shallow. Aperture circular; lip highly thickened (ca. 0.4-0.5 mm wide and 0.5-0.6 mm thick) with darker colour, slightly expanded; apertural lip when observed from lateral view angled. Apertural lip with a furrow between inner and outer peristomes, with inner peristome thickened and cord-like. Parietal callus thickened with darker colour. Peristome interrupted by two canals; posterior canal ca. 1.0-1.2 mm long, 0.6 mm at its widest, curved outward and bulging at the outer margin; anterior canal slit-like, as long as apertural lip width. Parietal tooth thick; columellar tooth curved downward like an earlobe (ca. 2.2 mm long, 1.2 mm wide and 0.5 mm thick), covering anterior canal. Umbilicus closed. Operculum round, yellowish, and transparent corneous with uneven edge.
Etymology.
The specific epithet is dedicated to H.H. Godwin-Austen, a British malacologist, who prominently contributed to malacological studies in South and Southeast Asia.
Distribution.
This new species is found in Uthai Thani Province, Thailand.
