Abstract
Two new species of pachychilid freshwater gastropods, Brotia laodelectata and Brotia mariae, are described based on the examination of preserved specimens recently collected in rivers of Central Laos. This new report adds to the scant knowledge of the freshwater gastropod fauna of this country. Currently, four species of Brotia are known from Laos of which the newly described species are thought to be unique to the country. However, available data on the occurrence of pachychilid gastropods in Laos obtained from museum records and by personal observations in the field in 2006 are restricted essentially to some areas in Central and Southern Laos. The freshwater gastropod fauna of northern Laos remains largely unknown. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
