Holotype: NCSM 113630 View Materials (North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences , Raleigh, North Carolina, United States of America).
Type locality: Inle Lake , Myanmar [approx. 20.55°N, 96.92°E, Salween River basin] GoogleMaps .
Comments: Regrettably, Thach (2020a) overlooked the work of Annandale (1918b) on the malacofauna of Lake Inle and surrounding waters. This nominal species is a junior synonym of Melania baccata elongata Annandale, 1918 from Lake Inle on the basis of identical shell shape, sculpture, and size (see Annandale 1918b: 115, pl. 12, figs 3–7). The latter taxon was considered a synonym of Brotia henriettae (Gray in Griffith & Pidgeon, 1833) [= B. baccata (Gould, 1847) ] (Köhler & Glaubrecht 2002).
