Type locality.

“ Thailand, Surat Thani Province, box canyon in limestone range 6 km south of Na San; 100 m altitude (08°39.6'N, 99°23.9'E) ”.

Differential diagnosis.

This species is not similar to any other congener and is unique due to the combination of the following characters: small size, yellowish shell, spirally striated teleoconch with descending detached last whorl and aperture equipped with several equally developed barriers (without smaller ones). See under H. cucumense .

Distribution.

This species in known from several localities in Thailand and one in Peninsular Malaysia. Our record from Malaysia is the first record of this species in the country.

Remarks.

Apertural barriers were constant in number in all the specimens examined. We have examined the material from northern Thailand hosted in UF with the following data: 1 shell; Mae Hong Song Province, Tham Lod Cave, 1.5 km SE Ban Tham Lod Village, 6 km N Sappong on Road 1095; 19°34'N, 98°9'E; 720 m a. s. l.; 19 Mar. 1988; K. Auffenberg leg.; locality code KA-0576 ; UF 591321; 7 shells; Mae Hong Song Province, Tham Lod Cave, 1.5 km SE Ban Tham Lod Village, 6 km N Sappong on Road 1095; 19°34'N, 98°9'E; 720 m a. s. l.; 19 Mar. 1988; K. Auffenberg leg.; locality code KA-0674 ; UF 345523. Since these localities are quite far from the actual distribution area of this species, we believe that these samples were mislabelled and that this species actually does not occur in Mae Hong Son Province.
