322 Páll-Gergely et al.: A new Schistoloma from Vietnam A review of Vietnamese Schistoloma Kobelt, 1902 with a list of all known species of the genus (Caenogastropoda: Cyclophoroidea: Pupinidae) Barna Páll-Gergely1*, Phi Khanh Nguyen2 & Yansen Chen3 Abstract. The Vietnamese members of the genus Schistoloma are reviewed, and a checklist of all Schistoloma species is provided. Five species are recognised from Vietnam, including Schistoloma maydelineae new species, from Khánh Hoà Province. It is can be distinguished from all of its congeners by the strongly ribbed, conical shell and a white, conspicuous suture. Pinteria croesus Varga, 1972 is a synonym of Schistoloma inermis (Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1909). The latter species is recorded from China, Yunnan Province, for the first time. The Philippine Schistoloma subspecies of Bartsch are all considered synonyms of the nominotypical forms.

This genus is widely distributed in East Asia, ranging from the Himalaya to the Philippines (Kobelt, 1902; Bartsch, 1916; Egorov, 2013). So far seven species have been reported from Vietnam. Four of them, namely Schistoloma cochinchinense (Rochebrune, 1882), S. croesus (Varga, 1972), S. inermis (Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1909), and S. messageri (Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1909), were originally described from Vietnam, whereas three others were described from other countries and were subsequently reported from Vietnam. Schistoloma sumatranum (Dohrn, 1881) was reported from the Tam Dao National Park by Khắc et al. (2012), which is the type locality for Pinteria croesus Varga, 1972. Therefore, we presume that this record refers to that species instead of S. sumatranum. Schistoloma funiculalum (Benson, 1838) was reported from Ninh Hoa District, Khanh Hoa Province (Thach, 2016), but the photo (Thach, 2016; fig. 121) clearly shows a S. cochinchinense specimen. Schistoloma sectilabrum (Gould, 1844) was also reported from the same locality (Thach, 2016), far from its distribution in Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand. In this paper, we describe Schistoloma maydelineae new species from southern Vietnam’s Khánh Hoà Province, review the Vietnamese members of the genus, and present a checklist of all Schistoloma species. MATERIAL AND METHODS The counting of the shell whorls (to the closest 0.25 whorl) follows Kerney & Cameron (1979: 13). Abbreviations.

Pfeiffer, 1853 Genus Schistoloma Kobelt, 1902 Schistoloma Kobelt, 1902: 298 (nom. nov. pro Coptocheilus Gould, 1862). Pinteria Varga, 1972: 134 (type species: Pinteria croesus Varga, 1972, by original designation) Schistoloma (Hololoma) Bartsch, 1916: 195 (type species: Megalomastoma quadrasi Hidalgo, 1889, by monotypy). Type species. Cyclostoma altum Sowerby, 1842 by original designation. Taxonomy & Systematics 323 RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY 2019 Diagnosis. Shell high conical to elongate oviform, sculpture mostly smooth, rarely ribbed, periumbilical keel present or absent, aperture rounded without any tubes or slits, operculum corneous, multispiral, the individual coils overlap with each other and fuse only at their centre. Remarks. It is obvious that the Vietnamese members of Schistoloma can be divided into two groups. Namely, one with a periumbilical keel (S. cochinchinense, S. messageri) and one without (S. inermis, S. maydelineae new species). The presence or absence of this character has been used as a distinguishing mark on the genus level in other pupinid genera (Páll-Gergely et al., 2015). In the Philippine members of this genus however, there is a continuous variability between those two types. Therefore, it is not suggested to subdivide the genus based on this character at the moment. The subgenus Hololoma Bartsch, 1916 is said to have a narrow slit in the upper edge of the aperture, but this character is not clear in the illustrations of Bartsch (1916). Even if a slight slit is present in some species, it might not be sensible to split the genus based on this character with our current understanding, especially because this is only the edge of the distribution of the genus, and it is unlikely that the nominal genus has an extremely wide distribution. Given the large geographical area and the simple shell, it is possible that the genus Schistoloma is a group of species with plesiomorphic characters, and therefore, not monophyletic. Keeled species might be phylogenetically closer to Tortulosa Gray, 1847, than to non-keeled Schistoloma species. Review of the Vietnamese members of the genus Schistoloma Schistoloma cochinchinense (Rochebrune, 1882) (Fig. 1A) Catalus cochinchinensis Rochebrune, 1882: 62 (type locality: “Sanglu, Cochinchine”).

Hunyadi, 03.02.2019, HA/2. Diagnosis. A large Schistoloma species with smooth, elongate-ovoid shell having a strong periumbilical keel. Differs from Schistoloma messageri by the larger, more ovoid shell, and less prominent keel. Distribution. Schistoloma cochinchinense is known from Southern Vietnam (Dong Nai and Binh Phuoc Provinces). Remarks. The photos of Thach (2016) clearly show Schistoloma cochinchinense instead of Schistoloma funiculalum. Schistoloma inermis (Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1909) (Fig. 1C–F) Coptochilus inermis Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1909: 287, plate 11, figs. 8–9 (type locality: “Tan-Doc, aux confins du Delta et de le région montagneuse”).

HA/2 (Fig. 1F). Diagnosis. A middle-sized Schistoloma species with a smooth, conical-ovoid shell, without any signs of a periumbilical keel. Distribution. Schistoloma inermis is known from Northern Vietnam (Vinh Puc Province), and the Chinese Yunnan Province. The type locality (Tan-Doc) could not be located on the map. Remarks. There are no notable differences between Pinteria croesus and S. inermis. Therefore, it is considered as junior synonym of that species. Schistoloma maydelineae Páll-Gergely, P.K. Nguyen & Y.

Gutierrez (C, downloaded from the website of the MNHN) and B. Páll-Gergely (A, B, D–F). Scale bar = 10 mm. 325 RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY 2019 Description. Shell shape high conical, widest at its base, yellowish brown; some shells (e.g., holotype) with dark redpurple protoconch and upper whorls, others with brownishyellowish apical whorls; protoconch consists of 3 whorls, opaque, without any notable sculpture; teleoconch with strong but low ribs that are paler than rest of shell; ribbing becoming less regular towards aperture, because ribs have perpendicular projections, which do not extend neighbouring ribs, and some ribs are not complete (they do not reach both sutures); the most irregularly sculptured area is on the body whorl, where the sculpture looks “hammered”; below suture a “pseudosuture” is visible (slight groove just below the suture), which ends in a conspicuous pale coloured sutural area; aperture circular, straight, or slightly reverse oblique to the shell axis (i.e., in lateral view, basal part of the peristome situated more anteriorly than upper part); peristome continuous, expanded and very slightly reversed, especially in basal part; peristome slender, sharp in lateral view, sometimes looks like double (i.e., formed by the inner and outer peristomes); umbilicus open, slit-like, with a very slight indication of a periumbilical keel, which is formed by the angled ribs. Operculum unknown. Measurements. H: 19.7–21.6 mm, D: 8.4–9.2 mm (n = 6). Differential diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from any congeners by its ribbed shell and white suture. Furthermore, Schistoloma maydelineae new species differs from S. messageri by the absence of umbilical keel, the more slender, conical shell, and the strongly reticulated sculpture. Schistoloma inermis and Schistoloma croesus also possess a smooth shell that is smaller than S. maydelineae new species. Type locality. Vietnam, Khánh Hoà Province, Khánh sơn, 11°58.7′N, 109°3.6′E. Etymology. This new species is named after the daughter of the last author, Maydeline Faith Chen. Distribution. This new species is thus far known only from the type locality. Schistoloma messageri (Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1909) (Fig. 1B) Coptochilus messageri Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1909: 286, plate 11, figs 10–11 (type locality: “Region de Lao-Kay”). Types examined. Tonkin, Lao Kay, Coll. C. Bosch ex coll. H. Rolle, SMF 192263/4 shells (labelled as syntype, Fig. 1B). Diagnosis. A large Schistoloma species with smooth, elongate-ovoid shell having a strong periumbilical keel. Differs from Schistoloma cochinchinense by the smaller, more slender shell, and more prominent keel. Distribution. Schistoloma cochinchinense is known from Northern Vietnam (Lao Kay Province). Schistoloma sectilabrum (A. Gould, 1844) Cyclostoma sectilabrum Gould, 1844: 459, plate 24, fig. 10 (type locality: “Tavoy” [from the title]). Schistoloma sectilabrum — Kobelt, 1902: 280.

Scale “a” = 10 mm and refers to fig. A, scale “b” = 5 mm and refers to figs. B and C. 326 Páll-Gergely et al.: A new Schistoloma from Vietnam Remarks. Thach (2016) mentioned this species from southern Vietnam (Ninh Hoa District, Khanh Hoa Province), far from all other known localities in the Malay Peninsula, Myanmar (Tavoy and Tenasserim) and Thailand (Tumpeesuwan & Panha, 2008). This species seems to have the largest range in the entire genus. Two samples (SMF 262529 = “holotype” and SMF 262530 = “paratypes”) found in the SMF were labelled as “Schistoloma siamensis Brandt” with the following locality data: “Thailand: an den Tanto-Fällen bei Ban Nong Star; Yala Provinz, leg. Brandt, 18-7-1964, No. 1968/1”. However, the name “Schistoloma siamensis” was never published, and is not available. List of Schistoloma species not found in Vietnam Bartsch described numerous subspecies of Schistoloma from the Philippines, differing from one another only by shell colouration and shell size. Bartsch is widely known to be as an extreme splitter (see review in Watters, 2006), and in the present case his subspecies do not seem to be worth maintaining. In the list below we recognise only species-level taxa. Schistoloma altum (Sowerby I, 1842) Cyclostoma altum Sowerby I, 1842: 84. Schistoloma altum, — Kobelt, 1902: 278.
