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.
