Diplommatina apicina View in CoL – Yen 1939: 31, pl. 2, fig. 40.

Type material.

Not seen.

Other material.

Eight non-type specimens SMF 39624 (Figs 5 B View Figure 5 , 12 B View Figure 12 ).

Type locality.

“ Ta-hung-tung, Thien-heu-san, Kuei-tschen ” [Hunan Province], the current name of the locality cannot be confirmed.

Brief description.

Shell dextral. 7 Whorls. Penultimate and body whorls nearly equal in width. Teleoconch with thin, widely spaced, radial ribs; with ca. 7 ribs per 0.5 mm on penultimate whorl and ca. 5 ribs per 0.5 mm on body whorls. Double lip present. Columellar tooth present. One horizontal palatalis above columella. No vertical palatalis visible.

Remarks.

Kobelt and Möllendorff (1898) assigned this species to the subgenus Sinica . Yen (1939) and Zilch (1953) listed probable syntypes in the SMF; one figured by Yen (1939: pl. 2, fig. 40), However, discrepancies in the collection locality and collector in relation to the original description suggest that these specimens are non-type specimens. Further type specimens are likely kept in the Gredler collection in the Franziskanermuseum Bozen (see Zilch (1974)).
