Odontopeltis balzanii Silvestri 1895
Description
Odontopeltis balzanii Silvestri, 1895,
see Silvestri, 1895a: 769, fig 1.
Holotype male, from Missiones Mosetenes, Bolivia, should be in Museo Civico di Storia Naturale, Genoa, Italy.
Note: the type was deposited in the Genoa Museum and was loaned on 10 September 10 1902 to Filippo Silvestri in Portici, Italy (Jeekel, 1965: 122). In 2005, the Genoa Museum received the material back, but the type specimen of Odontopeltis balzanii was not returned (Dr Giuliano Doria, pers. comm.). Silvestri’s (1895a) illustration shows a small prefemoral process, and an acropodite with three apical projections. The presence of the prefemoral process excludes this species from the genus Odontopeltis.
