[Argentina, Prov. Córdoba] "Sierra de Achala (Quebrada de Musi)".

Label.

"Sierra de Achala", taxon label in Martens’ handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Long. 21-27mm, lat. 6-7mm"; figured specimen herein H 21.7, D 6.9, W 9.4.

Type material.

ZMB 28505, two paralectotypes; ex Doering.

Remarks.

The locality matches the type locality. The specimens were directly received from Doering and are herein considered type material. Doering did not mention on how many specimens his description was based upon, but the fact that he gave a range indicates that he had several specimens at hand. The lectotype and four other paralectotypes are in SMF ( Neubert and Janssen 2004). The current systematic position is after Richardson (1993).

Current systematic position.

Odontostomidae , Spixia achalana (Doering, 1877).
