Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.  Saussure (1860) stated that he had numerous specimens and gave a more precise locality; “grotte de Cotilla, à dix lieues de la Havane,” to which he added in a footnote “et je crois aussi dans celle de Matanzas.” Carl (1903: 551-552)described the gonopod based on one of the “Originalexemplare.” The MHNG collection contains two ♂ and two ♀ card-mounted specimens under the name  Leptodesmus subterraneus, all of them damaged. Each has the data label “Grottes de Cuba, M H de Saussure” and they are all syntypes. Hoffman (1999)refers to a ♂ holotype in the MHNG without justification. There are three further syntypes in the ZMHB ( Moritz & Fischer, 1978; ZMB208).
