Type locality.

"Angaoluo Peak, Nágá Hills at 7,000 feet"; "further to the east at Kezakenomih, and at the head of the Lanier River at ca. 5,000 feet where the specimens are much larger".

Material examined.

Naga Hills, NHMUK 1903.7.1.2622 (3 syntypes).

Remarks.

Protoconch low, without spiral structure; R1 rather regularly ribbed without spiral structure, R2 long, with sharp, straight, low ribs. The sharp ribs are characteristic for the genus Dicharax , but in case of A. stoliczkii the ribs are much lower than in any Chamalycaeus species. Therefore, based on the low protoconch without spiral lines, we classify this species in the genus Dicharax .
