The carnivorous terrestrial snail family Streptaxidae, recognized by having a regular to eccentric shell with complex apertural dentition, remains little-known and largely unexplored in Myanmar. This article presents historically recorded species and provides new data on this family. A total of eighteen species in five genera, namely , , , , and from the southeastern and eastern parts of Myanmar, is examined herein. Among these, is the most diverse with eight species, while the remaining genera are comprised of fewer than five species each. and are herein synonymized with , while is synonymized with . Furthermore, the first genitalia and radula descriptions for three previously known species, , , and , are provided. Using comparative morphological and anatomical approaches, four new species are described: , , , and This present study enhances the understanding of the land snail fauna in Myanmar, specifically the streptaxids, and highlights that limestone areas are important for biodiversity conservation.
肉食性陆地蜗牛科扭轴蜗牛科,其特征是具有规则到偏心的壳以及复杂的孔口齿列,在缅甸仍然鲜为人知且大部分未被探索。本文介绍了历史记录的物种,并提供了有关该科的新数据。本文研究了来自缅甸东南部和东部的五个属(即 、 、 、 和 )的总共18个物种。其中, 属最多样化,有8个物种,而其余属每个都少于5个物种。 和 在此被同义化为 ,而 被同义化为 。此外,还提供了三个先前已知物种( 、 和 )的首次生殖器和齿舌描述。通过比较形态学和解剖学方法,描述了四个新物种: 、 、 和 。本研究增进了对缅甸陆地蜗牛动物群的了解,特别是扭轴蜗牛科,并强调石灰岩地区对生物多样性保护很重要。
