Information from the abstract

GenusDiplommatinaBenson, 1849 Diplommatina Benson, 1849: 193, 194. Godwin-Austen 1886: 166 –169. Kobelt 1902: 423. Gude 1921: 301. Thiele 1929: 110, 111. Vermeulen 1993: 5. Egorov 2013: 17. Type species. Bulimus folliculus Pfeiffer, 1846, by subsequent designation of Nevill (1878: 284). Remarks. To date, more than 420 species and subspecies have been documented within the genus (Kobelt 1902; MolluscaBase 2025). Phylogenetic evidence indicates that the genus is polyphyletic (Rundell 2008; Webster et al. 2012; Köhler 2023). Consequently, several previously recognised subgenera have been elevated to generic rank, including Moussonia Semper, 1865 and Gastroptychia Kobelt & Möllendorff, 1900 (Neubert and Bouchet 2015; Chen and Ablett 2024). In addition, several new genera have been proposed, such as Pagodapalaina Chen, 2025, Sohtsuia Chen, 2023, and Sinoarinia Chen & Wu, 2020 (Chen and Wu 2020; Chen et al. 2023, 2025). To date, 26 species of Diplommatina s. l. have been reported from Myanmar. Of these, 15 species have type localities within Myanmar, whereas the remaining ten species were originally described from neighbouring countries but were listed as occurring in ‘ Burma’ or ‘ Burmah’ (Gude 1921; Theobald and Stoliczka 1872). In addition, three species, Pagodapalaina suratensis (Panha & Burch, 1998), D. akron Panha & Burch, 1998, and D. nimanandhi Panha, Kanchanasaka & Burch, 2002, previously known only from Thailand, are recorded from Myanmar for the first time in the present study.
