Abstract: In this paper we investigate the integrability properties of a two-state vertex model on the square lattice whose microstates at a vertex has always an odd number of incoming or outcoming arrows. This model was named odd eight-vertex model by Wu and Kunz cite{WK} to distinguish it from the well known eight-vertex model possessing an even number of arrows orientations at each vertex. When the energy weights are invariant under arrows inversion we show that the integrable manifold of the odd eight-vertex model coincides with that of the even eight-vertex model. The form of the mathrmR-matrix for the odd eight-vertex model is however not the same as that of the respective Lax operator. Altogether we find that these eight-vertex models give rise to a generic sheaf of mathrmR-matrices satisfying the Yang-Baxter equations resembling intertwiner relations associated to equidimensional representations.
