Abstract

The Clausiliidae species of India, Myanmar, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are mostly endemic and among the least studied representatives of their family. Almost all of the available material of these taxa was collected before 1920 and is housed in the Natural History Museum, London. The present overview of this collection provides information on the origins of the samples, as well as distribution data and illustrations of the studied species and subspecies with some comments on their taxonomic status. From this material Cylindrophaedusa (Montiphaedusa) godwinausteni Grego & Szekeres sp. nov., C. (M.) perplicata Grego & Szekeres sp. nov., Oospira decollata muspratti Grego & Szekeres subsp. nov., O. diyungensis Grego & Szekeres sp. nov., O. limborgi Grego & Szekeres sp. nov., O. rissomensis Grego & Szekeres sp. nov., O. shanensis Grego & Szekeres sp. nov., and O. telizoensis Grego & Szekeres sp. nov. are described as new taxa.
