“…All enid species from Southeast Asia have recently been assigned to the genus Coccoderma Möllendorff, 1901 (Schileyko 2011, Köhler et al 2017). However, this generic name is preoccupied by Coccoderma Zittel, 1887 (a fossil fish) and thus is not available.…”

“…However, this generic name is preoccupied by Coccoderma Zittel, 1887 (a fossil fish) and thus is not available. Here we provisionally assigned the Laotian species to the genus Apoecus Kobelt, 1902 (type species Bulimuscolonus Möllendorff, 1895 from New Guinea) which has the closest distribution range to the taxa studied (Köhler et al 2017). However, additional anatomical and molecular studies are required to confirm the taxonomic position.…”

The land area of Laos is composed of a large variety of undisturbed habitats, such as high mountainous areas, huge limestone karsts and the lower Mekong Basin. Therefore, Laos is expected to have a high species diversity, especially for the land snails. However, with respect to research on malacology, Laos is probably the least well-researched area for land snail diversity in Indochina (including Laos) over the past few centuries. The handful of species lists have never been systematically revised from the colonial period to the present, so these classifications are outdated. Herein we present the first comprehensive annotated checklist with an up-to-date systematic framework of the land snail fauna in Laos based on both field investigations and literature surveys. This annotated checklist is collectively composed of 231 nominal species (62 ‘prosobranch’ and 169 heterobranches), of which 221 nominal species are illustrated. The type specimens of 143 species from several museum collections and/or 144 species of newly collected specimens are illustrated. There are 58 species recorded as new to the malacofauna of the country, and two new replacement names are proposed as Hemiplectalanxangnica Inkhavilay and Panha, nomen novum (Ariophantidae) and Chloritiskhammouanensis Inkhavilay and Panha, nomen novum (Camaenidae). Four recently described species of the genus Amphidromus from Laos, “thakhekensis”, “richgoldbergi”, “attapeuensis” and “phuonglinhae” are synonymized with previously described species. In addition, thirteen nominal species are listed as uncertain records that may or may not occur in Laos. This annotated checklist may inspire malacologists to carry on systematic research in this region.

“…Several molecular studies of the Orthurethra have been conducted. Most of them focused on the phylogeography of a particular genus (Goodacre & Wade, 2001a;Goodacre, 2002;Tongkerd et al, 2004;Ketmaier et al, 2006;Sischo & Hadfield, 2017) or within a family (Goodacre & Wade, 2001b;Holland & Hadfield, 2004;Lee et al, 2009Lee et al, , 2014Slapcinsky & Kraus, 2016;Köhler et al, 2017). The first comprehensive molecular studies of the Orthurethra aimed to solve both the relationships within the Orthurethra and to place them within the stylommatophoran phylogeny as a whole (Wade et al, 2001(Wade et al, , 2006.…”

We have undertaken a molecular analysis of the Orthurethra, one of the major groups of stylommatophoran land snails and slugs. Approximately 4000 nucleotides of the rRNA gene cluster [5.8S, internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) and almost the full-length large subunit (LSU; 28S) gene] were sequenced for 40 orthurethran genera belonging to 19 families. Our phylogeny recovers three well-supported clades within the Orthurethra; the Azecidae, Chondrinidae + Truncatellinidae, and a main clade comprising all remaining orthurethran families. The first division in the Orthurethra separates the Azecidae from all other orthurethran taxa. Of those families represented by more than one genus, the Achatinellidae, Azecidae, Cerastidae, Partulidae and Vertiginidae are recovered as strongly supported monophyletic units, whereas the Chondrinidae, Enidae, Pupillidae and Valloniidae are unsupported in the tree. Although there is relatively little support for the deep-level relationships among the main orthurethran groups, some groupings are strongly supported. The sister-group relationship of the Cochlicopidae with the Amastridae is strongly supported in our molecular analyses, and there is also some support for the grouping of the Orculidae with the Pyramidulidae, and the Draparnaudiidae with the Gastrocoptidae. The findings of our molecular analyses support dividing the Orthurethra into three superfamilies: the Azecoidea, Chondrinoidea and Pupilloidea.
