Ager argentinus. Unspecified series.
Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription and stated that the material was collected by Georges Claraz. The MHNG collection contains three specimens in alcohol, in two jars, under the name
Odontotropis clarazianus
. The label in the first jar reads “
Odontotropis clarazianus Sauss.
, TYPE, La Plata, Mr Claraz.” Although the word type has been added to the label in pencil as an afterthought, it indicates that the specimen is a syntype. A label in the other jar indicates that the two specimens it contains were identified by Carl and are therefore probably not syntypes. The generic placement follows
