Dicharax bhucarinatus Gittenberger & Sherub Sherub in Gittenberger et al., 2024: 209, figs 27, 32.

Diagnosis

Differs from its congeners by the densely ribbed shell, and the keeled body whorl.

Type locality

“ Samdrup Jongkhar Dzongkhag: 7 km NNW of Daifam (= Jomotshangkha), Toka Phu, 940 m a.s.l., 26º57’N 92º04’E ” ( Bhutan).

Differential diagnosis

As mentioned in the original description ( Gittenberger et al. 2024), the only species of Alycaeinae in the region with a keeled body whorl is Chamalycaeus sculptilis , which has a beaded peristome. Nevertheless, D. bhucarinatus was described based on the corroded holotype and therefore, the sculpture could not be examined. Thus, it may belong to Chamalycaeus (more likely than Metalycaeus , as mentioned by Gittenberger et al. 2024).
