Type localities. “ Tonkin ” (Vietnam) (A. rochebruni); “ Die nähere Heimat dieses Findelkindes von einer Windelschnecke ist nach obigem vorläufig nimmer wohl festzustellen; doch sicher im Innern des centralen China, in Hunan oder Hupé zu suchen. ” [type locality questionable: Hunan or Hubei provinces, China] (A. angulinus). Differential diagnosis. The shell shape is most similar to A. messageri. However, it differs by the much weaker and fewer apertural barriers. Anauchen pentadens is less triangular, has a narrower umbilicus, lacks the spiral striation, has more apertural barriers which are also stronger and has strong ribs on the last whorl (especially near the aperture). Anauchen jokaii sp. nov. lacks the spiral striation and has its last whorl keeled at the base which separates it from A. rochebruni. The apertural barriers are also much weaker in A. rochebruni. See also under A. turritus sp. nov. Distribution. This species has a wide distribution extending from the Hunan province, China (type locality of A. angulinus) south to Lang Son province, Vietnam. Remarks. Anauchen angulinus is herein treated a synonym of this species because we observed no significant morphological differences between them. There is intraspecific variation in the number of apertural barriers. There are usually three (parietal, palatal, columellar) but there can be as few as one (parietal). The last whorl can be more or less swollen, sometimes resulting in a strongly triangular shell shape.
