lankaensis Humbert, 1865: 50 View in CoL -52, pl. 4, fig. 21, pl. 5, fig. 21 [ Spirostreptus View in CoL ].

Trincomalie. Two ♂ and two ♀.

Carl (1917) illustrated the posterior gonopod of the “type.” The MHNG contains five specimens in alcohol in three jars under the name Spirostreptus lankaensis and five specimens in alcohol together in one jar under the name Ktenostreptus lankaensis . The first jar contains two specimens and the label “ Spirostreptus lankaensis Humb. (type) Trincomalie, Voy. Humbert.” The second jar contains one specimen and the label “ Spirostreptus lankaensis Humb. (type) Trincomalie, Voy. Humbert.” These three specimens are clearly syntypes, and the jars have type labels on them. The third jar contains two specimens and a vial with a pair of gonopods, with the label “ Spirostreptus lankaensis Humb. Ceylan coll. Schneider” while the fourth jar with five specimens has the label “ Spirostreptus (Ktenostreptus) lankaensis Humb. Ceylan, Bugnion.” These seven specimens are not syntypes. Given the dissection, Carl presumably studied the specimens collected by Schneider.
