Remarks. The genus Triphoris is of feminine gender, therefore the original spelling should be Triphoris conspersa . Habe & Kosuge (1966) considered Triphora sematensis Oyama, 1954 a junior synonym of T. conspersa . Kuroda et al. (1971) considered Triforis purpurata Pilsbry, 1895 and Triphora sematensis Oyama, 1954 junior synonyms of T. conspersus .
