Types: ♂ ♀ syntypes from unknown origin. The material originally revised by Attems (1899) is deposited at the ZMB, where there are two jars labeled as Platyrrachus mexicanus (J. A. Dunlop, pers. comm.). One of them, cat. no. ZMB 1451 , has two specimens with no locality and are likely the types of P. broelemanni . The other, cat. no . ZMB 5173 , also contains two specimens collected in Santa Inez in Ecuador by Richard Haensch in 1899 and probably were incorporated to the collection after Attems revised the material for his System der Polydesmiden ( Attems 1899).

Distribution: unknown.
