Diagnosis.

Shell globose; last whorl ca. 80% of shell height. Apertural lip thickened, but not expanded; apertural lip when observed from lateral view almost straight. Columellar tooth fin-shaped.

Differential diagnosis.

Pupina siamensis is most similar to P. mouhoti in having an almost straight apertural lip when observed from lateral view, but differs in having a more globose shell shape and a thicker, more distinct, parietal tooth.

Distribution.

Eastern and northeastern Thailand ( Boonngam et al. 2008; Chanyapate et al. 2008; Chidchua and Dumrongrojwattana 2010; Dumrongrojwattana 2016).

Remarks.

As the original description did not explicitly state that the description of this species was based on a single specimen (nor could this be inferred), the designation of a holotype by Zilch (1957) in fact constitutes a lectotype designation ( ICZN 1999: Art. 74.6).

The type locality of this species in Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, as designated by von Möllendorff (1902b) is dubious. This species was described based on a collection made by the butterfly collector, H. Fruhstorfer, who made an expedition in Thailand ( Lamas 2005). The type locality “Bangkok” is probably not the location where the type specimen was collected. The probable type locality would be “Muok-Lek” [Muak Lek District, Saraburi Province, Thailand] as indicated in Fischer and Dautzenberg (1904), and several butterfly specimens were also collected from this site by H. Fruhstorfer. This locality is in the same vicinity as recent records and our collecting localities of P. siamensis .
