28Diplommatina salwinianaTheobald, 1870 Diplommatina salwiniana Theobald, 1870: 398. Type locality: Shan States. Pfeiffer 1875: 84. Nevill 1878: 285. Gude 1921: 332. Diplommatina salewiniana [sic.] — Theobald 1876: 42. Diplommatina (Eudiplommatina) salwiniana — Kobelt and Möllendorff 1898: 138. Diplommatina (Diplommatina) salwiniana — Kobelt 1902: 444. Type material examined. Unknown. Diagnosis. Shell sinistral, ovate-turreted, pale yellowish; suture impressed. Whorls 7 ½, convex, increasing regularly; radial ribs distinct, more widely spaced on last whorl. Aperture rounded-oval; columella straight; columellaris distinct. Distribution. The species is currently known only from its type locality in Shan State, Myanmar. Remarks. Among the four diplommatinid species described by Theobald (1870), the status of this species remains uncertain. The original description lacked an illustration, the type specimens could not be located (T. White, B. Rowson, and J. Gallichan, pers. comm.), and no subsequent illustrations have been published. The diagnosis provided here is based on the original description and the account by Gude (1921).
