Amphiodia debita Koehler, 1922:168.

In the first paragraph of his description, Koehler stated, “All the specimens are incomplete; the dorsal surface of the disk is torn off, and none of the arms is preserved for the full length; the largest is 40 mm long.” He did not select a type from these poorly preserved specimens. Clark assigned catalog number USNM E1048 for the lectotype (p. 452) but failed to segregate a specimen from USNM 41199. Koehler did not photograph an entire specimen with arms intact (pl. 69: figs. 3, 4). Clark may have intended the photographed specimen to be the lectotype, but all three specimens are now fragmented so it is not possible to recognize the photographed specimen. Therefore, the three specimens must remain a syntypic series, and USNM E1048 is declared a voided entry.
