Odontostomus striatus bohlsi Martens, 1894 Figs 32H, 32viii

Odontostomus striatus bohlsi Martens 1894: 166.

Type locality.

[Paraguay] "Barranca de la Novia".

Label.

Paraguay / Barranca / de la Novia", with a second, taxon label in Martens’ handwriting.

Dimensions.

"48-50 mm lang und nur 12-13 dick im Querdurchmesser mit Einrechnung der Mündung”; figured specimen herein H 50.2, D 12.6, W 13.8.

Type material.

ZMB 47507, eight syntypes; Bohls leg.

Remarks.

Parodiz (1942: 201) synonymized this as variety described taxon by Martens with " Odontostomus spixi var. major ( d’Orb.)”, stating that d’Orbigny’s taxon has 12.5 whorls; the lectotype of major d’Orbigny, 1837 designated by Breure and Ablett (2011: 25) has 10.6 whorls and a shell height of 34.8 mm. Subsequently, this and other varieties were synonymized with Spixia striata (Spix, 1827) by Richardson (1993). The fact that Martens (1894) recognized four varieties-ranging from 26-50 mm shell height and 10 1/2-14 whorls-from the same locality, calls for an in-depth study of the variability of Spixia striata . Provisonally, the systematic position by Richardson (1993) is here retained.

Current systematic position.

Odontostomidae , Spixia striata (Spix, 1827).
