Odontopeltis clarazianus ( Humbert & Saussure, 1869 )

John Hollier, Edmund Schiller & Nesrine Akkari, 2017, An annotated list of the Diplopoda described by Aloïs Humbert alone and with Henri de Saussure, and the Diplopoda from Saussure’s Mexico expedition, Revue suisse de Zoologie 124 (2), pp. 203-224 : 207

clarazianus Humbert & Saussure, 1869a: 152 [ Polydesmus (Odontotropis) ].

Ager argentinus. Unspecified series.

Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription and stated that the material was collected by Georges Claraz. The MHNG collection contains three specimens in alcohol, in two jars, under the name Odontotropis clarazianus . The label in the first jar reads “ Odontotropis clarazianus Sauss. , TYPE, La Plata, Mr Claraz.” Although the word type has been added to the label in pencil as an afterthought, it indicates that the specimen is a syntype. A label in the other jar indicates that the two specimens it contains were identified by Carl and are therefore probably not syntypes. The generic placement follows Hoffman (1981).
