Material. Narino, directly across river [rio Caynacan] from Chical (Ecuador [Prov. Carchi]), 1220 m, Schupp leg., 1979 (UF 26613); Ecuador, Prov. Pichincha, 59 km W of Machachi, 1250 m, A.S.H. Breure leg., 13.iv.1975 (RMNH n.c); Ibidem, Mindo, yellow house trails, 1200-1300 m, H. Mays & B. McKay leg. 24.iii.2008 (FJ 26); Ibidem, F.J. Borrero leg. 25.iii.2008 (FJ 34); Ibidem, San Nicolas [Canton Mejia], A. Cousin leg., ex W.F. Webb (FMNH 31409); Canelos (DMNH 148431, ex Jackson).
Remarks. We found a number of lots corresponding to this taxon, all with "Ecuador" as the only locality data. We found one lot with a locality in Colombia (UF 26613), labeled as this species, and which we assign to D. aequatorianus, but it consists of a single shell, somewhat aberrant specimen (deformed). Its occurrence in Colombia remains to be confirmed. LINARES & VERA (2012) erroneously listed El Chical, Tangua as the collection
locality for lot UF 26613. A living animal and several shells were found in Mindo, Ecuador, in cloud forest. Body colouration off-white, with a light grey hue, and no other colour than the dark eye spots (FJ 26).
