consobrinus Humbert & Saussure, 1870: 174 [ Spirostreptus ].

Brasilia. Unspecified series.

Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription of only the ♀, and the type locality as “Colombie.” No specimens found in the MHNG. The NHMW contains one ♀ syntype collected by Sulkowski in 1847 in Columbia (Inventory number 2441, Acquisition number 1866.I.61). The Acquisition Register indicates that the original lot contained two specimens collected in 1847 by Sulkowsky in Columbia; the whereabouts of the other syntype is unknown. The generic placement is uncertain.
