Familia: Bothriembryontidae
Genus: Bothriembryon
Name
Bothriembryon martensi Kobelt, 1901 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Bothriembryon martensi Kobelt 1901 [1899–1902]: 764, pl. 112 figs 3–4; B.J. Smith 1992[1]: 106; Köhler 2007[2]: 143, fig. 77.
Type material
ZMB 101818a, lectotype.
Remarks
This taxon was placed in the synonymy of Bothriembryon rhodostomus (Gray, 1834) by B.J. Smith (1992: 106), apparently not based on examination of the type material. The figure shown by Köhler (2007; here reproduced) is a shell much larger (H = 44.5) than any of the taxa currently considered to be Bothriembryon rhodostomus, and the colouration is with darker tones. We tentatively follow here Smith’s judgement, but further studies should clarify the status of this taxon.
Current systematic position
Bothriembryontidae, Bothriembryon rhodostomus (J.E. Gray, 1834).
