Abstract: Boysidia gittenbergeri (Maassen, 2008) comb. nov. Paraboysidia gittenbergeri Maassen, 2008: 237–239, figs 5, 6. Paraboysidia gittenbergeri — Inkhavilay et al. 2016: 215–216, figs 1, 2 A – C, 4 A, tables 1, 2; Inkhavilay et al. 2019: 61, fig. 27 A. Material examined. None. Type locality. “ NW Laos, province Luang Namtha, district Vieng Phouka, Oung (= Khama word for cave) Pra Ngiene, 500 m SE of Ban (= village) Phou Lek, at the entrance of the cave ”. Remarks. We have excluded this species from Bensonella and classified it in the genus Boysidia due to the combination of the following traits: i) large shell size (nearly 6 mm); ii) absence of the palatal tubercle typical for Bensonella; iii) shell shape more similar to some Boysidia species (e. g., B. chiangmaiensis, B. tholos, B. lamothei).
