Prior to this study, few collections and records were made of the land snails in Cambodia and the historical taxa had never been reviewed. Herein a report on the land snail diversity based on specimens collected recently from karstic and non-karstic areas in southern Cambodia is provided. This checklist presents 36 species of land snails (two Neritimorpha, six Caenogastropoda, and 28 Heterobranchia). Illustrations and brief taxonomic notes/remarks are provided for every species. We also described Sutcharit & Jirapatrasilp, based on some distinct shell morphological characters. Since the first descriptions during the colonial period in the nineteenth century, some land snail species (e.g., , , , ., and ) have not been reported subsequently. This probably reflects a lack of knowledge concerning land snail biodiversity in this country. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive survey of land snails in southern Cambodia. A need for more field research and systematic revision of the land snails in this interesting region is also highlighted and demonstrated.
在本研究之前，柬埔寨的陆生蜗牛几乎没有采集和记录，历史分类群也从未得到过修订。本文提供了一份基于最近从柬埔寨南部岩溶地区和非岩溶地区采集的标本的陆生蜗牛多样性报告。这份清单列出了36种陆生蜗牛（2种新腹足目、6种前鳃亚纲和28种异鳃亚纲）。为每个物种提供了插图和简要的分类学注释/说明。我们还根据一些独特的壳形态特征描述了Sutcharit & Jirapatrasilp。自19世纪殖民时期首次描述以来，一些陆生蜗牛物种（如、、、、和）随后就没有再被报道过。这可能反映出该国对陆生蜗牛生物多样性缺乏了解。据我们所知，这是柬埔寨南部首次对陆生蜗牛进行的全面调查。同时也强调并证明了在这个有趣的地区需要进行更多的实地研究和对陆生蜗牛进行系统修订。
