Species

Species of doubtful validity

Sphenarches languidus, originally described as Oxyptilus languidus from Colombia by Felder and Rogenhofer in 1875 is of doubtful validity. It might be a synonym of Sphenarches nanellus, but the type specimen of this species is in poor condition and no additional material has been found which matches this species. With the present knowledge it is not possible to separate the two species.[1]
