Genus Landouria Godwin-Austen, 1918

Type species

Helix huttonii L. Pfeiffer, 1842 (new name for Helix orbicula Hutton & Benson, 1838 ), by original designation.

Type locality

Himalaya near Simla, Mahasu, northern India ( Hutton & Benson 1838).

Distribution

The genus is also reported from northeast India, west Himalaya, Nepal, Mandalay and Shan in Myanmar ( Burma), Yunnan in China ( Zilch 1966; Schileyko & Kuznetsov 1998; Ramakrishna et al. 2010; Budha et al. 2015).

Schileyko & Kuznetsov (1998) tentatively argued that Landouria is restricted to northern India, Nepal, northern Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. Yet, recently, species of Landouria have been reported from China ( Páll-Gergely et al. 2013), Laos ( Hirano et al. 2014), Timor-Leste ( Köhler et al. 2018), Java in Indonesia ( Nurinsiyah et al. 2019), and Thailand ( Tumpeesuwan & Tumpeesuwan 2019).
