Type locality.

“ Samui islands, Gulf of Siam ”, Thailand.

Differential diagnosis.

Hypselostoma torticollis is similar due to the down-turning aperture and same arrangement of the apertural barriers but this species has a much wider umbilicus, more enlarged last whorl and is spirally striated. Hypselostoma fungus sp. nov. is spirally striated, has merged angular and parietal lamellae, more down-turning last whorl and a much wider umbilicus. See also under H. venustum .

Distribution.

This species in known from Chumphon and Suratthani provinces in Thailand.

Remarks.

In some paralectotypes, a lamella between the columellar and parietal was positioned much deeper in the aperture. We have examined a distinct form of this species from Tham Khao Phlu (Chumphon province). This form had a wider umbilicus and a sharper keel as well as more enlarged last whorl in comparison to previous ones. However, we decided not to treat it as distinct species due to the fact that we have also found a transitional form between the typical H. transitans (close to its type locality) and the one from Tham Khao Phlu.
