Resumen:
Odontella rapoporti sp. nov., from Tierra del Fuego is described, as the
third species of the Odontella lobata group, which has a subantarctic
distribution. The new species is similar to O. lobata and O. setosa, but
can be distinguished from them by the number of chactae on the dens (6
or 7 chaetae in O. setosa vs. 5 chaetae in the other species) and the
number of chaetae in the distal whorl of the tibiotarsus (9 chactae in
O. lobata vs. 11 in the other species). The closely related monotypic
genus Afrodontella Deharveng, 1981, and its type species (A.
septemlobata) arc described.
