Type material examined

INDIA • holotype (single shell mentioned in the original description: Fig. 56A–G); Koliaghur nr Tezpur , Assam; NHMUK 1903.7 About NHMUK .1.2682 .

Type locality

“Koliaghur or Koliahur, Nowgoug District, Assam ”.

Differential diagnosis

Similar to D. chennelli , D. damsangensis , D. diagonius and D. vitreus , which have similar R1 sculptures. Unfortunately, the holotype specimen is broken at its R3, making it difficult to examine some key characters. Nevertheless, D. nowgongensis has a rounded aperture and a relatively low-spired shell, which differs from most congeners of the same species group.
