Occurrence and habitat.

This species was collected in Bismarck Archipelago and New Guinea ( Hirschmann 1989).

Note.

Hirschmann (1973) mentioned D. elegans as the synonym of D. pectinata . Later, he ( Hirschmann 1989) separated these two species again based on the shape of the basis of the epistome and the width of the peritreme. In our opinion, these differences are too weak and not sufficient to separate the two species. Furthermore, both species were collected in the same region. Thus, we agree with Hirschmann’s (1973) opinion that D. elegans is the junior synonym of D. pectinata .
