Type locality.

[Argentina] "Pendiente Oeste de la Sierra de Aconjigasta (Quebrada de Yatan, de Nieve, Agua de los Oscuros)".

Label.

"Sierra de Aconjigasta", in Martens’ handwriting, a second taxon label in Doering’s handwriting.

Dimensions.

"Long. 16-19mm. lat. 4mm"; figured specimen herein H 17.4, D 4.38, W 11.0.

Type material.

ZMB 28509, one paralectotype; ex Doering.

Remarks.

The locality given on the label could not be found in modern gazetteers, but is likely in Prov. Córdoba. The specimen was directly received from Doering and is here considered probable type material. Doering did not mention the number of 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 two other paralectotypes are in SMF ( Neubert and Janssen 2004). The current systematic position is after Richardson (1993).

Current systematic position.

Odontostomidae , Spixia multispirata (Doering, 1877).
