| Abstract |
Specimens of a new species of hypselostomatid microsnail, Clostophis udayaditinus Sutcharit & Panha, n. sp., were collected from the limestone hills area in Battambang Province, western Cambodia. Besides being a species new to science, this discovery represents a new country record for the genus. The new species differs from all other congeners by its concave-conical shell, with apertural dentition four in number, and hooked parietal and columellar lamellae. Living snails were found crawling on the walls in a cave, and the snails have a colourless, semitransparent soft body. |
