Type locality.
“Brasilien”; see remarks.
Label.
"Macahe, Bras. / Beschke"; in Dunker’s handwriting.
Dimensions.
"Long. 18, diam. 5 1/3 mm"; figured specimen H 18.6, D 5.66, W 6.6.
Type material.
ZMB 117780, one syntype; Beschke leg.
Remarks.
Dunker did not mention on how many specimens his description was based upon. However, he mentioned "(Rarissimus teste Beschke)" which reveals that Beschke was the collector. The material is accompanied by a label that mentions this name, therefore eliminating any doubt about the type status of this specimen. The label also reveals a more specific locality than published by Dunker; “Macahe” could be Macaé in Edo. Rio de Janeiro. The current systematic position is after Simone (2006).
Current systematic position.
Odontostomidae , Bahiensis ringens (Dunker in Dunker and Pfeiffer, 1847).
