Abstract

Southeast Asian Clausiliidae in the collection of the Florida Museum of Natural History, and particularly those that were obtained during recent biodiversity surveys in Myanmar and Thailand, provide important new data on the mostly endemic species of the family in that region. This paper assesses the museum’s clausiliid material from continental Southeast Asia, gives well defined locality records, highlights and discusses novel distribution data, and introduces Oospira mongmitensis Grego and Szekeres n. sp., O. naga Grego and Szekeres n. sp., O. sardicola Grego and Szekeres n. sp., and Phaedusa bocki thompsoni Grego and Szekeres n. ssp. as new taxa.
