[3] The type locality is Wat Tam Pha Plong, Pha Daeng National Park, Chiang Dao District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, 19°24′7.3″N 98°55′5.6″E / 19.402028°N 98.918222°E / 19.402028; 98.918222.

[1] This species was described from Thailand in 2013 with a complete information on shell, radula and genitalia.

[1] The shell surface is glossy, with transverse ridges diminishing below the periphery.

The central tooth is small, sharp, triangular with pointed cusp.

[1] Reproductive system of Perrottetia aquilonaris was described by Siriboon et al. in detail in 2013.

[3] In contrast, Perrottetia dugasti has a rounded last whorl and a small upper-parietal lamella located deeper inside the aperture, and Perrottetia messageri has paralleled parietal lamellae, a small supercolumellar lamella is present, and the left side of the penultimate whorl extended beyond the diameter of the last whorl.

The genital system of Perrottetia gudei differs from that of this new species by possession of a long and slender penis, an entirely free long oviduct, a gametolytic duct and sac extending as far as the albumin gland, the absence of seminal vesicles and a more scattered arrangement of penial hooks.

[1][3] The animals can be found in altitudes up to 200 meters above mean sea level in Thailand.
