Brief description.

Shell dextral, with about 6 whorls. Protoconch smooth. Penultimate whorl slightly expanded, body whorls nearly as wide. Constriction at slightly right of parietal wall. No spiral striation visible.

Columellar tooth present. One short horizontal palatalis just above columella. One vertical palatalis.

Remarks.

The lectotype is designated herein in accordance with Art. 74 of the Code ( ICZN 1999) for the stabilisation of the name. Johnson (1973) listed ‘ paratypes’ housed in USNM and MZC. Kobelt and Möllendorff (1898) assigned this species to the subgenus Sinica . For HMT specimens, 33 specimens moved to D. (S.) setchuanensis by Dr. C. - C. Hwang, one specimen has been separated by Dr. C. - C. Hwang as form A (Figs 5 D View Figure 5 , 12 D View Figure 12 ), another specimen as form B (Figs 5 E View Figure 5 , 12 E View Figure 12 ). Both forms alleged to be distinct from D. confusa .
