Remarks

In the original description, Hwang (2014) mentioned three differences between Indian B. plicidens and the subspecies Bensonella plicidens lakainguta . The most important of them was the submarginal elevations of columellar, basal and palatal barriers, i.e. anterior to the hooks those barriers become more elevated. However, this trait can also be seen in Indian B. hooki sp. nov. ( Figure 9 View Figure 9 (c,d)); see differences between B. lakainguta and B. hooki sp. nov. outlined under the description of the latter.

Boysidia (Bensonella) qingliangfengensis ( Figure 7 View Figure 7 (e,f)) was described from the border region of the Chinese Anhui and Zhejiang Provinces (very close to Pilsbry̾s (1917) record from Hangzhou), and is claimed to be larger than B . plicidens, yet looks identical for all other characters. Therefore , it is treated here as a junior synonym of B . lakainguta Hwang, 2014.

Maassen (1999) mentioned that he compared Bensonella karoensis with Japanese shells of Bensonella plicidens (= Bensonella lakainguta ). Furthermore, he erroneously stated that Bensonella plicidens inhabited Thailand.
