Pena-Barbosa, João P.

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.
