The taxonomy of subulinid snails in Myanmar has been evaluated, resulting in the recognition of 40 species and subspecies across nine genera: Allopeas , Bacillum , Curvella , Glessula , Opeas , Paropeas , Rishetia , Tortaxis , and Zootecus . Nine species are re-described based on recently collected specimens, and two new species, Glessulamandalayensis Man & Panha, sp. nov. from Mandalay Region and Tortaxiscylindropsis Man & Panha, sp. nov. from Shan State are introduced. The genitalia and radula of Zootecuspullus was studied for the first time. This study also presents a comprehensive list of all subulinid species recorded to date from Myanmar. The type specimens and authenticated museum specimens have been illustrated with accompanying taxonomic remarks and nine species formerly assigned in Glessula are now placed in Rishetia : R.akouktoungensis , R.baculina , R.basseinensis , R.burrailensismaxwelli , R.kentungensis , R.limborgi , R.nathiana , R.pertenuis , and R.pertenuismajor .
