Material. Boyaca, Muzo, ex Melvill-Tomlin (NMW 1955.158.25126).
Ecology. This locality is within the Magdalena Valley montane forests ecoregion. The actual habitat is unknown.
Remarks. This taxon is now transferred to the nominate subgenus on the basis of the expanded peristome and the ascending suture in front. The specimen mentioned above may indeed correspond to this taxon, and it
would be the first Colombian record, and the first with a precise locality for this taxon. However, because of lack of additional material that would allow to ascertain variation in this species, this identification needs further corroboration. Linares & Vera (2012) cited this lot, without seeing it, and also cited another lot (FMNH 3378, from Meta, Villavicencio) as corresponding to this species; upon examination, the three specimens included in FMNH 3378 are juvenile, and are not assignable to a particularly species; they certainly are not D. signifer. The presence of this species in Colombia remains to be confirmed.
