Odontopeltis borellii
Silvestri, 1895
,
see
Silvestri, 1895b: 3
, fig 2.
Holotype
male, from
Paraguay
, deposited at MRSN, examined.
Note: in the same publication,
Silvestri (1895b)
also described
Strongylosoma borellii
from
Argentina
on page 5, accompanied by figure 7. In 1897, Silvestri moved
Strongylosoma borellii
to
Mestosoma
Silvestri, 1897
, erroneously quoting page 3 as the original description, but clearly indicating the intention of moving
Strongylosoma borellii
and not
Odontopeltis borellii
to
Mestosoma
.
No other mention of
Odontopeltis borellii
was found in the literature. The
type
specimen does not belong to
Odontopeltis
as evidenced by the presence of a prefemoral process on the gonopod.
