Type localities.

“ Südwest Hupé ”, China ( B. hupeana ); “ Gongyao Hill, Xingyi County (25°N, 104°08'E), Guizhou province, China ” ( B. gongyaoshanensis ); “ N. Sumatra, Karo Highlands, Kuta Buluh, 40 km N of Brastagi, near the entrance of the cave Liangdehar in leaf litter at the foot of limestone rocks ” ( B. kitteli ).

Remarks.

Boysidia (Boysidia) gongyaoshanensis , described from Gongyao Hill, Xingyi County (25°N, 104°08'E), Guizhou province, China, is herein treated a junior synonym of B. hupeana since no morphological differences were noticed. Also, no differences in shell morphology were noticed between B. kitteli and B. hupeana even though they are described from localities which are ca 3200 km from each other. Even though the distance is enormous, they are treated conspecific due to the lack of conchological differences. Both new synonyms were not compared to B. hupeana in their respective original descriptions ( Maassen 1999; Yang et al. 2012).
