Spiraculum sp.
Material examined.
Specimens from Ban Phone Can village, Yommalath District, Khammouan Province (Figs 13C, 18D).
Remarks.
These specimens differ from
Spiraculum massiei
and
S. vilvensi
from Laos and
Pterocyclos huberi
Thach, 2015,
S. franzhuberi
(Thach, 2017) and
S. thachi
(Huber in Thach, 2017) from Vietnam in having a short complete tubular accessory respiratory structure located close to the aperture and projecting forward to the aperture. In comparison,
S. massiei
has a long complete tubular accessory respiratory structure located further away from the aperture and projecting up to the apex.
Spiraculum vilvensi
has a long complete tubular accessory respiratory structure laying in the suture and projecting backwards to the aperture, and an apertural lip expanded near the suture (see
Thach (2017)
for comparison).
Pterocyclos huberi
has an expanded lip forming a canal-like accessory respiratory structure and projecting forward to the aperture.
Spiraculum franzhuberi
and
S. thachi
have both an expanded lip forming a canal-like accessory respiratory structure and a short tubular accessory respiratory structure located away from the aperture (see
Thach (2017)
for comparison).
