Erhaia sp. View in CoL Fig. 3

Material.

District Thimphu, 4.5 km E of Chuzom, W of Genekha, 2750 m alt.; 27°19'N 89°36'E; E. Gittenberger leg. 21.vi.2012.

Shell.

Elongated ovoid, higher than broad, with a last whorl measuring more than ¾ of the total shell height; aperture attached to the penultimate whorl for less than ⅓ of the parietal-columellar side. Umbilicus very narrow. Shell height ca. 2 mm.

Notes.

The shell is most similar in size and shape to ' Erhaia ' chandeshwariensis Nesemann & Sharma, 2007, and ' Erhaia ' banepaensis Nesemann & Sharma, 2007, as figured by Nesemann et al. (2007: 78, figs 4-5). Erhaia wangchuki sp. n. differs clearly by the broader shell with a lower spire.
