Diagnosis. This is the largest species discussed here. It is also distinct from the other species by the regularly spaced, rather strong, complete ribs (i.e., the ribs are not restricted to the suture only). See also under D. prima .

Material examined. Holotype ZMA. MOLL.137267 ( Fig. 5A); Cambodia, Phuom Kdong , 14 km SW of Battambang.

Paratype ZMA. MOLL.137268 (1 shell; Fig. 5B); same information as holotype. 4 shells ( Fig. 5C) (coll.

Distribution. This species was known from the type locality ‘Phuom Kdong’ [=Kdoang Mountain]. The specimens examined herein were collected from another limestone hill just next to the type locality (few hundred meters between the type locality and the new site). This species may be endemic to Battambang Province.
