Iothia emarginuloides (Philippi, 1868) Fig. 4G

Material examined.

13 spm (3 × 2 × 1 - 4 × 2.3 × 1.5 mm).

Synonymy.

See Waren et al. (2011).

Remarks.

Waren et al. (2011) studied the species of Lepetidae and concluded that specimens of Iothia coppingeri and Iothia emarginuloides are similar. This is concurrent with Strebel (1907) that these species are synonyms, establishing Iothia copperingeri as a junior synonym of this species.
