Dear Wolfgang and Kurt,

Can't locate the B. cambodjiensis (Reeve, 1860) reference, but:

Bertia brookei (A. Adams and Reeve, 1848) was named in Zoological Voyage of
the Samarang, Mollusca p. 60 pl. 15, f. 4a, b (as Helix brookei) according
to Reeve,  1852.  Conchologia Iconica VII: species 377, Feb.
