Odontocroton monnei (Zajciw, 1968), n. comb.

(Fig. 14)

Odontocera monnei Zajciw 1968: 48; Monné 2017: 444 (cat.).

Species concept. Based on Zajciw (1968) original description and a photograph of the holotype available on Bezark (2017).

Specimen examined. URUGUAY, Soriano, Arroyo Cololo, female holotype, 15.I.1962, C. S. Carbonelli, C. S. Morey and M. A. Monné leg. (MNRJ)

Comment. Described from a single female from Uruguay. Zajciw (1968) stated that this species “is very like O. apicalis ”, and on that basis is placed by the author in Group B (i). However, its proportions (small, rather short body, quadrate prothorax, etc) suggest it might be better placed in its own genus, a proposal which will have to await the examination of a male and its genitalia.

Distribution. This species is only known from the type specimen.
