The genus is revised and seven new species are proposed based on museum material and newly collected specimens. This work confirmed that most <jats:italic>Laeocathaica<\/jats:italic> species have restricted habitats. The comparison of the dart sac apparatus among the dart-sac-bearing camaenid genera indicated the importance of the presence of the proximal accessory sac that might be analogous to the membranous\/muscular sac surrounding the proximal dart sac and\/or the distal region of the vagina near the atrium, which also plays a significant role in the diagnosis of <jats:italic>Laeocathaica<\/jats:italic> species based on its number, symmetry and position on the dart sac. Species with similar shell morphology were studied using geometric morphometric methods to detect variations in shell shape. A molecular phylogenetic analysis based on 16S and ITS2 sequence data of partial <jats:italic>Laeocathaica<\/jats:italic> species and many other dart-sac-bearing taxa suggested that <jats:italic>Laeocathaica<\/jats:italic> might be monophyletic. Furthermore, the present phylogeny indicated that <jats:italic>Stilpnodiscus<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Cathaica<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Bradybaena<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Pseudobuliminus<\/jats:italic> might be polyphyletic and therefore the taxonomy of dart-sac-bearing camaenids in this region requires a thorough revision. This work reconfirms that the Southern Gansu Plateau is important as a hotspot for malacodiversity conservation on the Chinese mainland.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/zookeys.1154.86237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]],"date-time":"2023-03-20T16:09:15Z","timestamp":1679328555000},"page":"49-147","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["\ufeffLand snail diversity in central China: revision of Laeocathaica M\u00f6llendorff, 1899 (Gastropoda, Camaenidae), with descriptions of seven new species"],"prefix":"10.3897","volume":"1154","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5434-5544","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Min","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wang","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2689-3321","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Zhong-Guang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2258","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"86237_B1","author":"Adams","year":"1870"},{"key":"86237_B2","author":"Ancey","year":"1882"},{"issue":"6","key":"86237_B3","first-page":"1","article-title":"Sur les Mollusques des parties centerales de l\u2019Asie (Chine et Thibet) r\u00e9colt\u00e9s par Mr. l\u2019abb\u00e9 A.
