The two genera differ from each other in the following shell and anatomical characters: the shape of the body whorl is keeled/shouldered in <i>Hunyadiscus</i> and rounded in <i>Naggsia</i>; the protoconch bears a strong spiral striation in <i>Hunyadiscus</i>, and has extremely fine spiral lines in <i>Naggsia</i>; the inner penial wall has parallel folds in <i>Naggsia</i>, but a proximally rounded and distally divided, fleshy structure in <i>Hunyadiscus</i>; the diverticulum is well-developed in <i>Naggsia</i>, and absent in <i>Hunyadiscus</i>.</p><p><b>Distribution</b></p><p>Northern Laos, northern Thailand, southern Kachin State of Myanmar, and the bordering Chinese region.</p><p><b>Remarks</b></p><p>Table 1 summarizes the key characters of species of <i>Hunyadiscus</i>.</p> |
