Nearly all taxa were described in self-published books and non-peer-reviewed journals. The low quality of the published photographs, imprecise locality data, deficient literature surveys, and the lack of examination of type specimens raise reasonable doubts concerning the validity of these taxa. In this paper we list all land snails described by Thach and colleagues, and comment on approximately half of his taxa based on examination of the literature and type specimens. As a result, 102 of their taxa are moved to the synonymies of previously described taxa. Three additional taxa, described by other authors, are also considered synonyms of known species here: <em>Helix</em> (<em>Ganesella</em>?) <em>lamyi</em> Dautzenberg et Fischer, 1905, <em>Helix</em> (<em>Plectotropis</em>?) <em>chaudroni</em> Bavay et Dautzenberg, 1909, <em>Amphidromus xiengkhaungensis</em> Inkhavilay et Panha, 2017. Further, nine species are moved to other genera: <em>Pearsonia huberi</em> Thach 2016 to <em>Spiraculum</em>, <em>Streptartemon huberi</em> Thach 2016 to <em>Indoartemon</em>, <em>Tropidophora huberi</em> Thach, 2018 to <em>Leptopoma</em>, <em>Microstele huberi</em> Thach, 2018 to <em>Apoecus</em>, <em>Camaena khamducensis</em> Thach et Huber, 2018 to <em>Hemiplecta</em>, <em>Camaena abbasi</em> Thach, 2016 to <em>Asperitas</em>, <em>Mysticarion huberi</em> Thach, 2016 to <em>Megaustenia</em>, <em>Helixarion annhiae</em> Thach et Huber, 2017 to <em>Megaustenia</em>, and <em>Lamprellia huberi</em> Thach, 2018 to <em>Trichochloritis</em>. <em>Chloritis bifoveata vinhensis</em> Thach et Huber, 2018 is elevated to species level. <em>Oospira naggsi callosa</em> Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. is established as a replacement name for <em>Hemiphaedusa huberi</em> Thach, 2016, non <em>Oospira huberi</em> Thach, 2016. <em>Trichochloritis mussonena</em> Páll-Gergely, nom. nov. is established for <em>Mussonena huberi</em> Thach, 2018, non <em>Trichochloritis huberi</em> (Thach, 2018).","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Taxonomic vandalism in malacology: comments on molluscan taxa recently described by N.
