Primary type information:
Primary type material: holotype queen. Primary type locality: Peru: Chanchamayo (S. Paessler). Primary type depository: unknown.
Type notes:
Holotype was in 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.]
