tzendalus Saussure, 1860: 370 View in CoL -371, fig. 37 [ Julus View in CoL ].

Régions tempérées du Mexique, Oaxaca. Unspecified number of ♀.

The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol under the name Spirobolus tzendalus , both broken. There is no data label but the identification labels in the jar have “Mexique” written on them. Hoffman (1999) speculated that the types may be lost because Carl did not revise the species, but since Carl was primarily focusing on illustrating the gonopods, he has very likely ignored the female type specimens, which are presumably also syntypes. There is a further syntype in the MNHN (MY4397) according to their online database.
