The heading in the original description is the following: "Diplommatina nicobarica var. battemalvensis n. sp.". Below that, Godwin-Austen mentioned that this species was labelled as Diplommatina nicobarica var. battemalvensis. However, the indication of "n. sp." shows that battemalvensis was in face introduced on the species level.
