Cambodiparmarion (Gastropoda, Stylommatophora, Ariophantidae, Ostracolethinae) – a new record for the fauna of Vietnam with a description of a new species
Abstract: A new species for science, Cambodiparmarion bekchievi Dedov et Vu, sp. nov., is described from South Vietnam. This is the second species in this genus, and the first one described from Vietnam. We reported the genus Cambodiparmarion Kuznetsov et Kuzminykh, 1999 and C. doroshenkoi Kuznetsov et Kuzminykh, 1999 for the first time of Vietnam. An additional finding potentially belonging to the genus is discussed.
