aztecus Humbert & Saussure, 1869a: 149 View in CoL [ Cyclodesmus View in CoL ].

Cordillera mexicana . More than one ♂.

Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription of the ♂ without mentioning the ♀ characters. Carl (1902) illustrated the gonopod based on an “Originalexemplar.” The MHNG collection contains one specimen under the name Cyclodesmus aztekus [sic]. There is no data label but the identification labels in the jar have “Mexique” written on them. The handwriting of one of these labels indicates that this was the specimen studied by Carl and it is therefore a syntype.
