Etymology: Odontostilbe: Greek, odous = teeth + Greek, stilbe, es = lamp (Ref. 45335).
More on authors: Fink & Weitzman.
Issue
Redescribed in Fink & Weitzman (1974: 5). Malabarba (1998) and Malabarba & Weitzman (1999) discuss phylogenetic relationships and considered this species more related to Compsurini Cheirodontines than to Odontostilbe species. A new generic assignment is necessary for this species.
