Etymology.
The specific epithet refers to the
type
locality (Erawan National Park).
Diagnosis.
A small
Chamalycaeus
species
with bluntly angled body whorl, short R2, rounded aperture, and strongly expanded outer peristome.
Description.
Shell off-white to light grey, rather glossy, very slightly translucent; shell outline slightly oval in dorsal view; spire slightly elevated, conical-domed; body whorl rather bluntly angled, depressed inward basolaterally in apertural view; protoconch rather low, glossy, spiral striae lacking, 1.25–1.5 whorls; R1 of 1.5–1.75 whorls, with irregular, narrow, but rather low ribs and some weak spiral striation; boundary between R1 and R2 not distinct, but visible due to change in rib density; R2+R3 approximately a quarter whorl; R2 short, about one third of R3 length, only ca. 14–16 ribs; R2 ribs low, dorsally rounded; boundary between R2 and R3 distinct due to moderately deep constriction and almost smooth early R3; R3 with elongated, almost smooth (only a few low riblets/growth lines) central swelling; aperture oblique to shell axis, round; distance between inner and outer peristomes conspicuous, inner peristome protruding, thin, but robust, and slightly expanded; outer peristome strongly expanded, but not reflected, reduced in umbilical area; umbilicus narrow, less than one third shell width.
