Diplommatina (Sinica) consularis Gredler 1886

Diplommatina (Sinica) consularis Gredler, 1886 Diplommatina consularis Gredler, 1886: 13–15. – Yen, 1939: 31, pl. 2, fig. 41. Diplommatina (Sinica) consularis – Kobelt & Möllendorff, 1898: 140; Kobelt, 1902: 461; Zilch, 1953: 28. Type material. 12 syntypes FMB 37 Other material. Three non-type specimens SMF 39625 (Figs 5 G, 12 G). Type locality. “ Peshang, Hunan ” [Hunan Province]; the current name of the locality cannot be confirmed. Brief description. Shell dextral, with about 7 whorls. Penultimate whorl slightly expanded, body whorl nearly as wide. Teleoconch with thin, widely spaced, radial ribs; with ca. 6 ribs per 0.5 mm on penultimate whorl and ca. 5 ribs per 0.5 mm on body whorls. No double lip. Columellar tooth present. One short horizontal palatalis above columella. No vertical palatalis visible. Remarks. Zilch (1953) listed syntypes in the SMF, one of which was figured earlier by Yen (1939). Nevertheless, discrepancies in the collection locality 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)). Kobelt and Möllendorff (1898) assigned this species to the subgenus Sinica.
