Abstract

The distribution of the fiveErhaia(Gastropoda, Truncatelloidea, Amnicolidae) species that are diagnosed by both morphological and molecular data is combined with several records of less completely diagnosed nominalErhaiaspecies. The resulting distribution pattern is summarized in a map and is discussed herein.Erhaia norbuisp. nov.is described from Bhutan on the basis of shell morphology and two mitochondrial DNA barcoding markers. A molecular phylogeny is presented for the fiveErhaiaspecies for which molecular data are available, three of which form a separate clade and are from Bhutan.
