Type locality.

"Habitat in montibus Kolamulliis dictis".

Material examined.

Kolamalai Hills, nr. Trichinopoly, coll. W.T. Blanford, NHMUK 1906.4.4.57 (lectotype, hereby designated); for additional examined specimens see Aravind & Páll-Gergely (2018).

Remarks.

Protoconch low, without spiral structure; R1 smooth, glossy, without spiral striation; R2 long, with straight, low ribs; in some specimens, especially near the beginning of the tube, the ribs look as if they have been “pushed” in an anterior direction (ribs similar to typical Dicharax , but lower).

The lectotype designation of Aravind and Páll-Gergely (2018) was invalid, because no explicit statement was made to designate the lectotype. Thus, we here designate that shell to be the lectotype, which was named as such, and figured by Aravind & Páll-Gergely (2018: fig. 1D).
