Ivindomyrus opdenboschi Taverne and Géry, 1975
Synonyms
Ivindomyrus opdenboschi n. sp. Taverne and Géry, 1975: 556, fig. 1-3.
Remark on taxonomy
The type sample of Ivindomyrus opdenboschi Taverne and Géry, 1975 obviously comprises two quite different taxa, the holotype MRAC no. 80-15-P-6 and the paratypes 80-15-P-7, -9, -10 are true specimens of this species, the paratypes MRAC 80-15-P-11 and 8, however, in many characters do not correspond to I. opdenboschi and are to be regarded as a species of its own; new holotype MRAC 80-15-P-11. (See: Ivindomyrus rhinoceros ).
Etymology
Dedicated to Mr. Armand Opdenbosch ( 1997), primary research technician of the Vertebrate section of the Musée royal de l’ Afrique centrale, Tervuren, Belgium. (G. G. Teugels, in lit.)
