thwaitesii Humbert, 1865: 27 -28, pl. 2, fig. 9 [ Polydesmus ].

Peradenia. Unspecified series.

The MHNG collection contains one card-mounted ♂ specimen under the name Prionopeltis thwaitesii . It is labelled “Peradenia, Ceylan, Vge Humbert” and is obviously one of the “Originalexemplare” referred to by Carl (1902). The whereabouts of the other syntypes is unknown. The generic placement follows de Zoysa et al. (2016).
