This species is more solid than other congeners in West Africa. D. irregularis, D. similis and D. nodulosus have a similar profile, but they are more fragile, the peripheral keels are thinner and more irregular. Also, D. ferreirorum has no basal spiral cord, present in the other species. D. jullieni is more conical and the axial sculpture is wider and orthocline.
