Type material.
Holotype
: Laos • 1 empty shell (H: 0.64 mm, D: 0.74 mm); Bolikhamsay Province, large spring lake at S foot of limestone massif 2 km NNE of Na Pavan village, ca. 5 km from Phontan crossing at road 8 (locality code: JG16);
18°13.30'N
,
104°44.81'E
; 18 Feb. 2017; J. Grego leg.; NHMUK 20170296.
Diagnosis.
A small, depressed-globular
Angustopila
species with the aperture oblique to shell axis, a strongly protruding aperture, and relatively weak parietal and rather strong upper palatal tooth.
Description.
Shell small, wider than high; off-white, depressed-globular with domed spire; body whorl widest in standard apertural view; protoconch consists of 1.25 whorls, microstructure finely pitted and granular with a powdery superficial texture and with weak spiral striae (although holotype corroded; ca. 19 on body whorl from standard apertural view); teleoconch ornamented by some fine irregular, radial growth lines and stronger, equidistantly-arranged spiral striae; whorls 4, shouldered; aperture not oblique to shell axis from lateral view (although the peristome might be broken); umbilicus very wide; aperture pear-shaped with strongly distinct, relatively narrow sinulus and wider main section; peristome slightly expanded, not reflected; parietal callus strongly protruding, detached from penultimate whorl; upper parietal tooth relatively weak, low, but quite long, reaching peristome, perpendicular to parietal side; palatal tooth relatively strong, situated directly opposite of parietal tooth just at peristome edge.

Measurements (in mm).
H = 0.64, D = 0.74, H/D*100 = 86.5, RUD = 36.3 (holotype).
Differential diagnosis.
In comparison to other
Angustopila
species possessing two apertural denticles,
Angustopila steffeki
sp. nov. shows a more depressed shell with a dome-like appearance.
Angustopila pallgergelyi
has a more conical shell, a lower spire, and denser spiral striation.
Angustopila somsaki
sp. nov. has a less globular shell, less cylindrical (more funnel-shaped) umbilicus, and a less pointed palatal tooth.
Etymology.
This species is dedicated to and named after Jozef
Steffek
(1952-2013), Slovak malacologist.
Distribution.
This species is known from the type locality only in Bolikhamsay Province of Laos (Fig.
48
).
