Aegistohadra jiahei (Yang, Fan, Quiao and He, 2012) comb. nov.

    Guangxi, Peoples Republic of China. Digital image by Yang  Hao. The Lee Collection included six sinistral and two dextral specimens measuring 29.9-33.4 mm and 32.3-36 mm in Dmax respectively with somewhat variable D/H ratios. Two of each chirality have been deposited at the Florida Museum of Natural History (UF IZ 570490; n=4). All eight are from Gangxi Province, but two are more precisely sited therein: Baise and Leye. These place names may not differ substantively as the former is applied to a larger region as well as its principal city, but they put the specimens close to the border with Vietnam (S) as well as Yunnan (W) and Guizhou (N) Provinces, China [map below]. Bradybaena jiahei was described from an unspecified number of exclusively sinistral shells collected in Leye County, Guangxi Province, China. It is hereby transferred to Aegistohadra Wu, 2004 on conchological grounds, which include enantiomorphy.
