Material examined.
Holotype ZMA 3.59.055 (Fig. 9E). Paratypes ZMA 3.59.056 (2 shells) and RMNH Brandhorst Reg. 387 (1 shell).
Remarks.
Shell thickened, globose-heliciform, with a conical spire and distinct suture. Shell surface with strong transverse ridges; varices present; following whorls regularly coiled. Last whorl rounded and regularly expanded; umbilicus widely open and deep. Aperture triangular; peristome thickened, expanded and reflected. Apertural dentition of one parietal and one columellar lamella (Fig. 9E).
This species differs from
Discartemon lemyrei
in its smaller shell, widely open umbilicus, triangular aperture, and in having two apertural lamellae.
Discartemon vandermeermohri
is readily distinguished from
Discartemon roebeleni
and
Discartemon collingei
in its having a triangular aperture, and in lacking a basal lamella. Also,
Discartemon collingei
is slightly axially deflected.
