Diagnosis. Pincerna mouhoti is characterised by a mediumsized, translucent shell with rather regular ribs on R1, R2 long, smooth, slender and equal-spaced ribs and open umbilicus.

Distribution. Pincerna mouhoti is known from Laos (Luang Phrabang Province) and Vietnam (SƠn La and Hòa Bình Provinces) (Fischer, 1891; Saurin, 1953; Inkhavilay et al., 2019; this study).

Remarks. Figure 4E in Inkhavilay et al. (2019) shows that the shell surface is smooth, R2 long and smooth, and therefore it may belong to P. mouhoti.
