Genus Bouchetcamaena Thach, 2018

Bouchetcamaena Thach, 2018: 65.

Type species.

Bouchetcamaena huberi Thach, 2018, by original designation (synonym of Helix fouresi Morlet, 1886 - see Páll-Gergely et al. 2020).

Diagnosis.

The shell characters are similar to those of most other Chloritis -like groups. Shell depressed to depressed globular (sometimes with a sunken apex), body whorl rounded, colour uniform with a single peripheral band, shell surface covered by hair scars (pits) of variable density (in some cases these are more or less absent on the last whorl) and deciduous periostracum of variable thickness, aperture rounded to oval/subrectangular, peristome expanded, parietal callus only indicated, umbilicus relatively narrow (narrower than one fourth of the shell’s width).

The genital organs [based on B. procumbens ( Stoliczka 1871) and B. platytropis (this study)] are characterized by an elongated penis (spindle-shaped or with slightly swollen proximal end), the absence of a penial verge, a slender, cylindrical epiphallus longer than the penis, a retractor muscle inserted at the penis-epiphallus transition or on the distal end of the epiphallus, and a slender, pointed, elongated flagellum.

Remarks.

We only move the few species revised here to this genus. However, several other camaenid species from Southeast Asia may belong to Bouchetcamaena , which will be revealed by future studies.
