Sarika dugasti (Morlet, 1891)

Macrochlamys dugasti Morlet, 1891b: 25, 26. Type locality: forêts des bords du Ménam-Pinh, Laos occidental [forest edges of Ping River, Thailand].

Ariophanta (Macrochlamys) dugasti : Morlet 1891a: 231, 239, 240, pl. 5, figs 1, 1a.

Sarika dugasti : Schileyko 2011: 34.

Material examined.

Syntype MNHN-IM-2000-27884 from “Forêts des bords du Ménam-Pinh, Laos occidental" (1 shell; Fig. 59F).

Distribution.

Laos, Nepal, Thailand and probably in Vietnam ( Schileyko 2011).

Remarks.

No material of this species was found, and only the type specimen was examined. The type locality is mentioned as “Ménam-Pinh, Laos occidental" where Schileyko (2011) attributed this locality to Laos. However, this locality is probably the Ping River which flows from Chiang Mai to Lamphun, Tak, Kampang Phet and Nakhon Sawan Provinces in Thailand. This species has been collected from several localities in Chiang Mai, Lamphun and Tak Provinces, so these are likely to be a more precise type locality. Thus, the occurrence of this species in Laos is questionable.
