Almost all groups of the land snail fauna in Laos have been less-well studied than those of neighbouring areas. [1] The Lao People’s Democratic Republic, until recently encompassed some of the most significant forest areas remaining in Southeast Asia such as mountainous areas in the north and limestone karsts in central area, and some of the most intact biota left in Asia. [1] Those habitat characteristics also harbor diverse of terrestrial molluscan fauna. [1]
