Primary type information:
Type-material: holotype queen. Type-locality: Peru: Chanchamayo (S. Paessler). Type-depository: Hamburg Museum (destroyed in World War II (Brown, 1976c: 163)).
Unidentifiable taxon: Brown, 1976c: 163 (as nomen dubium).
[Note: regarded by Brown, 1976c: 163, as a nomen dubium because the holotype was destroyed and the original description was inadequate to suggest an identity, it is probably best now to regard Odontomachus peruanus as an unidentifiable taxon.]
