Remarks:
Morelet did not state on how many specimens his description was based. The
lectotype
is in the NHMUK (
Breure & Ablett, 2014
). This sinistral species may prove to be identical with one of the other, dextral,
Drymaeus
species
occurring in its distribution range as enantiomorphy within this group may be more commonly found than currently thought (Breure, unpublished data). The current systematic position follows
