Remarks
The original spelling of the name is ‘
pachycheilus
’. However,
Kobelt (1902)
,
Gude (1921)
,
Kuznetsov & Schileyko (1997)
,
Ramakrishna
et al.
(2010)
and
Budha
et al.
(2015)
spell it as ‘
pachychilus
’. This is an unjustified emendation and the original spelling is restored here. This species was reported from
Nepal
by
Kuznetsov & Schileyko (1997)
, but it has been excluded from the identification key because Nepalese material was not available to examine internal lamellae. The Shivapuri-Nagarjun National Park was reported as a new distributional record for this species in
Nepal
by
Budha
et al.
(2015)
. However, these records in fact refer to a new species described here, viz.
D. fistulata
sp. nov.
