Pseudodon artbogani Thach & Huber in Thach, 2020 [taxon inquirendum]

= Pseudodon artbogani Thach (2020a) : 94; pl. 86, figs 986–989.

Holotype: NCSM 113635 (North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences , Raleigh, North Carolina, United States of America).

Type locality: “Las Freci River, near Thakhek, Laos ” [approx. 17.4352°N, 104.8359°E, Mekong River basin] .

Comments: This nominal species may belong to the genus Nyeinchanconcha Bolotov et al., 2020 , which is endemic to the Mekong Basin in Laos (Bolotov et al. 2020). It needs further research because the tribe Pseudodontini contains multiple species and genera, most of which can be distinguished by means of a molecular approach only (Bolotov et al. 2017a, 2017b, 2020). At this stage, we would prefer to consider it as taxon inquirendum until a more convincing proof of its validity and taxonomic placement is presented.
