Type locality. “ Apud Pykara in summos montes ‘ Nilgiri’ dictos India Meridionalis ” .

Material examined. Lectotype, designated in Raheem et al. (2014) ( NHMUK 1899.6.29.2), Nilgiris.

Remarks. This species clearly fits in Platylennea , new genus, based on the general shell and aperture shape, the bilobed parietal lamella (not as clearly bifurcated as in other Platylennea species ), the two basal denticles connected with a ridge and situated relatively close to the peristome edge, and the indication of a columellar denticle anterior to the columellar lamella.
