Páll-Gergely and Grego 2019: 588, fig. 2a-h, 169.5 km milestone, 36 km west towards Taungoo, Demoso, Kayah State, Myanmar.

Type material examined.

Holotype HNHM 100176 (Fig. 9A ) and paratypes HNHM 100442 (17 shells) from the type locality.

Other material examined.

CUMZ 12191 (1 shell; Fig. 9B ) from Pa Tham Wua Temple, Mueang Mae Hong Son District, Mae Hong Son Province, 18 Jan. 2015.

Diagnosis.

Shell slender turriform; ca. 9 whorls, with regular strong ribs. Area between ribs with very fine spiral striation mostly on upper whorls. Peristome reflected.

Differential diagnosis.

Pseudopomatias caligosus is most similar to P. peguensis (Theobald, 1864) and P. shanensis Páll-Gergely, 2015 in shell size and bulging whorls, but different from P. peguensis by a less glossy shell, much stronger ribs, and a reflected peristome, and different from P. shanensis by more bulging whorls, a less expanded peristome, and less-packed ribs with indistinct spiral striation between them ( Páll-Gergely et al. 2015; Páll-Gergely and Hunyadi 2018b).

Distribution.

Mae Hong Son Province and Kayah State, Myanmar ( Páll-Gergely and Hunyadi 2018b; Páll-Gergely and Grego 2019).

Remarks.

Although the apex of the CUMZ specimen is broken, the other remaining characters conform to those of the holotype of P. caligosus . The collecting locality is in the same vicinity as the type locality.
