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 : 204

aduncus Saussure & Humbert, 1872: 158 [ Polydesmus (Rhachidomorpha) ].

New replacement name for P. uncinatus Humbert & Saussure, 1869a , a junior homonym of P. uncinatus Peters, 1864 . The MHNG collection contains one ♂ specimen in alcohol under the name Rhachomorpha uncinata , labelled as a type. The specimen is in fragments and lacks a data label, but was transferred from the dry collection and is presumably a syntype that had been placed in the collection before the name was changed. The MHNG also has two broken specimens in alcohol under the name Rhachidomorpha aduncta , also labelled as types.
