Etymology
Euthema truncatellina is named after the extant genus Truncatellina (Stylommatophora), which has a similar shell, acknowledging the convergence in the different lineages of gastropods on land.[2]

E. myanmarica has a shell which is almost cylindrical, comprising 6 moderately convex whorls, ribbed, with weak constriction. The aperture is oval and the umbilicus wide, with a strong periumbilical keel. The shells are Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert wide.[1]
E. truncatellina has a shell which is almost cylindrical, comprising 6.5 moderately convex whorls, ribbed, with weak constriction. The aperture is circular, the umbilicus narrow, and the periumbilical keel is absent. The shells are Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert wide.[2][1]
