Diagnosis.

Shell ovate-fusiform; last whorl ca. 70% of shell height. Apertural lip thickened but not expanded. Parietal tooth triangular, thickened, covering posterior canal, approaching but not extending beyond the outer margin of apertural lip; columellar tooth fin-shaped, thickened, located next to slit-like anterior canal.

Differential diagnosis.

This new subspecies is slightly different from the nominotypical subspecies in having the apertural lip, and parietal and columellar teeth more thickened.

Description.

Shell height 6.0-6.6 mm; shell width 4.2-4.6 mm. Shell ovate-fusiform, solid, semi-transparent, grey to pale brown, devoid of prominent sculpture on glazed smooth surface. Apex obtuse. Growth lines on shell surface inconspicuous. Whorls 5½, last whorl large (ca. 70% of shell height). Spire angle ca. 75-80°, slightly extended. Sutures slightly impressed, but shallow. Aperture circular; lip thickened (ca. 0.2 mm wide and 0.3-0.4 mm thick) with paler colour, not expanded. Parietal callus not sharply defined and somewhat thickened with paler colour. Peristome interrupted by two canals; posterior canal slit-like ca. 0.7 mm long; anterior canal slit-like continuing horizontally ca. 0.8-0.9 mm. Parietal tooth triangular, thickened (ca. 0.7 mm long, 0.5 mm at its widest and 0.3 mm thick), covering posterior canal, approaching but not extending beyond the outer margin of apertural lip. Columellar tooth thickened (ca. 1.0 mm long, 0.3 mm at its widest and 0.3 mm thick), fin-shaped. Umbilicus closed. Operculum round, thin, flat, multispiral, whitish to pale yellow, opaque corneous with smooth edge.

Etymology.

The specific epithet refers to the Thai name “Isan” for the northeastern region of Thailand, where this new subspecies is mainly distributed.

Distribution.

Northeastern and eastern Thailand.

Remarks.

Although the collecting localities of this new subspecies are ca. 600 km from the known occurrence of the nominotypical subspecies, DNA data and morphometric analyses are required to demonstrate whether these Thai specimens are distinct from the Vietnamese specimens and should be elevated to specific status.
