Description |
Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This species has only been reported from Museum specimens from scattered localities in Lao PDR (Muong-Bet sur le Song-Ma), Cambodia (Pakse, Mekong River) and Viet Nam (Environs de Gang and Song Yet, near Yuong-het, northern Viet Nam) (Koehler and Glaubrecht 2006). There are no recent survey records despite the apparently wide range and survey activity in the region.

Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: As most Brotia species are found in rivers and mountain creeks, it is assumed that this species also occurs in this habitat and is found only rarely in still water.
Systems: Freshwater
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: This species is a large gastropod, so it is presumed that it would be eaten as a local food source (F. Köhler pers. comm. 2010).
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s):
There are no known specific threats to this species, but it would be vulnerable to water pollution and sedimentation if, like other Brotia species, it requires clean fast flowing water. At one site (Pakse) there are proposed dams, and if the species was refound at this site, then the impoundment may change flow regime and destroy this site, so survey work is encouraged to establish if the species is more widespread, and hence less threatened.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: There are no conservation actions in place for this species, however more data are required on the distribution and taxonomic status of this species.
