Discusión taxonómica
Odontosoria is a tropical genus of 22 species, of which 12 occur in America and only two in Mexico. It is probably most closely related to Sphenomeris, and a member of the lindsaeoid group of genera. The genus is distinct by the sori in small pockets at segment apices and the rhizome indument of scales.A
