Helix (Plectopylis) schlumbergeri Morlet, 1886a: 1, 2. Type locality: baie ďHalone et montagne de ľÉléphant, Tonkin [Ha Long Bay and Elephant Mountain, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam]. Morlet 1887 [1886]: 259, 272-274, pl. 12, figs 2, 2 a–c.

Endoplon schlumbergeri : Schileyko 2011: 8.

Material examined.

Syntypes MNHN-IM-2000-24582 (2 shells; Fig. 59D).

Distribution.

Laos and Vietnam ( Schileyko 2011, Páll-Gergely et al. 2015b).

Remarks.

Although Schileyko (2011) listed this species as occurring in Laos from the Elephant Mountains, the recent revision by Páll-Gergely et al. (2015b) did not list any specimens from Laotian area. In addition, Elephant Mountain is more likely to be the Elephant Islet of Ha Long Bay, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. Thus, the occurrence of this species in Laos is questionable and no material of this species was found from this survey to clarify the distribution range of this species.
