Pupa dentata Wood, 1828 Figs 25A-D, 25i

Pupa dentata Wood 1828: 24, 50, pl. 8 fig. 71.

Type locality.

Not given.

Label.

“Montevideo”.

Dimensions.

Not given. Specimen figured herein H 14.16, D 7.17, W 7.9.

Type material.

NHMUK 1840.9.12.50, two syntypes, ex Mrs. Mawe.

Remarks.

Wood (1828: 24) referred to material from "Br.M. [British Museum]". This supports the claim expressed on the label that this material may be considered as probable syntypes. It is not clear, however, on what evidence the locality “Montevideo” is based, as Wood did not state it in his publication. One specimen is damaged.

Current systematic position.

Odontostomidae , Plagiodontes dentata (Wood, 1828).
