Plagiodontes weyenberghii Doering 1877: 322; Doering 1878: 241; Pizá and Cazzaniga 2012: 390, fig. 1.

Plagiodontes weyemberghii Doering 1877: 322; Doering 1878: 241 (emendation).

Scalarinella (Plagiodontes) weyemberghii ; Zilch 1971: 199, pl. 11 fig. 13 (lectotype designation).

Type locality.

[Argentina, Prov. Córdoba] "Sierra de Aconjigasta, en algunas quebradas hondas y húmedas, como en la del ‘Nieve’ y en la de ‘Mermela’ en la pendiente Oeste"; see remarks.

Label.

"Sierra de Aconjigasta", with a second, taxon label also in Martens’ handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Long. 26-28mm; lat. 12-14mm"; figured specimen H 26.6, D 14.67, W 6.7.

Type material.

ZMB 28501, two paralectotypes; ex Doering.

Remarks.

Doering did not mention on how many specimens his description was based. Zilch (1971) mentioned five specimens, of which he chose one as lectotype. The specimens in ZMB were received directly from Doering and are considered paralectotypes. Using modern gazetteers, the name ‘Aconjigasta’ could not be found; however, Quebrada de Mermela is in Prov. Córdoba. The current systematic position follows Richardson (1993). The correct spelling follows Pilsbry (1901 [1901-1902]: 101) as pointed out by Pizá and Cazzaniga (2012: 405).

Current systematic position.

Odontostomidae , Plagiodontes weyenberghii (Doering, 1877).
