This species has never been recorded from specimens other than the types, and its distribution and anatomy have remained essentially unknown. The genitalia and radula morphology are documented here for the first time and employed to re-assess the systematic position of this species: the unique morphological characters of <jats:italic>T. horrida<\/jats:italic> are a penis similar in length to the vagina, a small and triangular penial verge, gametolytic organs extending as far as the albumen gland, head wart present, and unicuspid triangular radula teeth. The type locality of this species was believed to be from \u201cLao Mountains, Camboja,\u201d and is restricted herein to be Luang Phrabang Province, northern Laos. The assignment of species to either of three genera, <jats:italic>Trichelix<\/jats:italic> Ancey, 1887, <jats:italic>Moellendorffia<\/jats:italic> Ancey, 1887, and <jats:italic>Moellendorffiella<\/jats:italic> Pilsbry, 1905, based solely on information provided in their original descriptions is difficult. The type specimens of all nominal species presently placed in either of these three genera are examined and illustrated herein. Comparison with the primary type specimens will assist future revisions aiming to resolve the systematics of these taxa. In addition, we transfer <jats:italic>Moellendorffia faberiana<\/jats:italic> (M\u00f6llendorff, 1888) to the genus <jats:italic>Moellendorffiella<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/zookeys.952.52695","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,23]],"date-time":"2020-07-23T13:12:51Z","timestamp":1595509971000},"page":"65-93","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Taxonomic note on Trichelix horrida (Pfeiffer, 1863) from Laos, with a type catalogue of Moellendorffia, Trichelix, and Moellendorffiella (Heterobranchia, Camaenidae)"],"prefix":"10.3897","volume":"952","author":[{"given":"Chirasak","family":"Sutcharit","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khamla","family":"Inkhavilay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Somsak","family":"Panha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2258","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"52695_B1","author":"Ancey","year":"1887"},{"key":"52695_B2","first-page":"125","article-title":"Description de deux esp\u00e8ces novelles \u010fHelicina.","volume":"54","author":"Ancey","year":"1906","journal-title":"Journal de Conchyliologie"},{"key":"52695_B3","year":"2013"},{"key":"52695_B4","author":"Azuma","year":"1982","journal-title":"Colored illustrations of the land snails of Japan."},{"key":"52695_B5","first-page":"191","article-title":"Type land snails in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia Part II.
