Editor's comment No originally included species. Odontotropis [Agassiz, 1847, Nomenclator Zoologicus. Index universalis: 425] was suggested to be a more correct spelling, but was not used as valid, and is not an available name. [details]
Nomenclature Odotropis was originally made available by a description, although there was no originally included species. Pilsbry (1930) subsequently designated Helix appressa as the type species (see Art. 67.2.2 of the Code). [details]
