Apoecus Kobelt, 1902

Remarks.

All enid species from Southeast Asia have recently been assigned to the genus Coccoderma Möllendorff, 1901 ( Schileyko 2011, Köhler et al. 2017). However, this generic name is preoccupied by Coccoderma Zittel, 1887 (a fossil fish) and thus is not available. Here we provisionally assigned the Laotian species to the genus Apoecus Kobelt, 1902 (type species Bulimus colonus Möllendorff, 1895 from New Guinea) which has the closest distribution range to the taxa studied ( Köhler et al. 2017). However, additional anatomical and molecular studies are required to confirm the taxonomic position.
