Treatment

Genus Chamalycaeus Möllendorff, 1897 View in CoL

Alycaeus ( Chamalycaeus) Möllendorff, 1897b: 93 .

Remarks

Chamalycaeus is characterised by a smooth (or pitted) protoconch and a spirally striated R1. Most species classified in Chamalycaeus here are transferred from the genus Dicharax (see Páll-Gergely et al. 2020).

Although no spiral striation was found on the protoconch of Chamalycaeus oglei (Godwin-Austen, 1914) (see Páll-Gergely et al. 2020), it is moved to the genus Metalycaeus Pilsbry, 1900 due to its similarity with M. brahma (Godwin-Austen, 1886) and other Himalayan species of Metalycaeus . Furthermore, Chamalycaeus perplexus (Godwin-Austen, 1914) is moved to Metalycaeus due to its similarity with M. polygonoma .
