Abstract
Discartemon sirindhornae Artsamart & Siriboon, sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on specimens collected from Chumphon Province in Peninsular Thailand. The new species possesses a flattened shell with a slightly convex spire, a weakly angular last whorl, and an intermediately expanded whorl. The apertural dentition consists of one parietal lamella, one ridge-like and one small lower palatal, one small basal, and one small columellar lamella. The penis is long, slender and twisted distally, with penial hooks separated by elevated longitudinal folds. The current study advances knowledge of the streptaxid land snail species in Thailand and emphasizes the value of limestone habitats for preserving biodiversity.
