Note 1: Considering the synonymic list in Jeannel, 1936: 152, it seems that this species was misidentified as D. monilis Murray [1856]in Portevin, 1921: 535. Note 2: Mexico(in caves): The records in Guerrero(in Szymczakowski, 1968: 18, as a doubtful record) and in Chiapas(in Peck, 1973b: 105, 1977: 186) are in error but the true identification of those specimens is not reported (SBP, personal data).
