From editor or global species database
Status Schroeder in Schroeder and Neumann (1985) included pl. 7 figs 9, 24-25 of Douglass (1960) into the synonymy of O. (M.) texana and pl. 7, fig. 6 of Douglass (1960) into O. (M.) subconcava.
Problem: the holotype of O. minuta is represented on pl. 7 fig. 4.
The illustration of the holotype (embryo poorly visible) is not identifiable to modern taxonomic standards.
The holotype and possibly topotypes await to be restudied. [details]
