Species / Dicolpus Obesus
  • Dicolpus
    • Dicolpus obesus Philippi, 1887

Original Description of Dicolpus obesus by Philippi. 1887, p. 40:

  • "Testa ovoidea, laevigata, in parte posteriore (s. superiore) anfractum nodifera; anfractus ultimus vix ac ne vix quidem in medio constrictus; apertura valde angustata. - Altit. 25, crass. obliqua 19 mm.""

Comment Philippi, 1887, p. 41:

  • "Vom verstorbenen Volckmann vermuthlich bei Lebu oder Tubul gefunden, nach dem Gestein zu urtheilen, in welchem das Gehäuse steckt. Wir besitzen nur ein Exemplar, dem die Spitze fehlt, und ein anderes, das in der Länge getheilt ist und deutlich beweist, dass die Spindel faltenlos ist. Die Anwachsstreifen sind sehr deutlich; auf der letzten Windung stehen 12 Knoten."

History and Synonymy

2017

Coan & Kabat, 2017, p. 173:

  • "obesus, Dicolpus – Philippi, 1887a: 40–41 [1887b: 37], pl. 1, fig. 20. Lebu or Tubul, Chile; Tertiary. Syntype, SGO.PI.753 (n = 1, from Tubul). Type species of Dicolpus Philippi, 1887. A secondary homonym of Melanopsis obesa Bourguignat, 1884; renamed Melanopsis tumida Pallary, 1916 (p. 86) (even if no longer classified in that genus, Pallary’s replacement name is to be used). As Philippi’s species is from a marine deposit, it is unlikely to be a freshwater taxon."
