Redescription
Scientific Name Notes -de Chambrier & Vaucher (1997) transferred this species to Monticellia, and renamed it M. amazonica, since Monticellia already contained a species named M. piracatinga. -Rego et al. (1999) mistakenly labeled a brief diagnosis of Nomimoscolex piracatinga (=Monticellia amazonica) under the name “N. emarginatum (Diesing, 1856) [sic]”
