Remarks.

The lectotype is designated herein in accordance with Art. 74 of the Code (ICZN 1999) for the stabilisation of the name. Johnson listed ‘ paratypes’ housed in the MCZ. Diplommatina minuscula Chen & Zhang, 1998 is a junior homonym and, therefore, the name is permanently invalid. A replacement name Diplommatina yunnanensis is proposed below (ICZN Art 34.2).
