Taxonomy Species uncertain
Taxonomy Villalobos-Guerrero & Harris (2012) list O. vittatus as a recombination in Oxydromus, but they, and several prior revisors they list, point to a probable synonymy with Oxydromus flexuosus. However Rizzo and Salazar-Vallejo (2014) later include Oxydromus vittatus as valid in a key. [details]
