Rhysodesmus toltecus (Saussure, 1859)

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 : 210

granulosus Saussure, 1859a: 323 [ Polydesmus (Leptodesmus) ].

Cordova au Mexique. Unspecified series.

Saussure (1860: 325) placed this name in the synonymy of P. toltecus Saussure, 1859 (and noted that it was a junior homonym of P. granulosus Palissot de Beauvoir, 1805 ), and indicated that the original description was based on the ♀. No specimens are placed under this name in the MHNG but the ♀ in alcohol placed under the name P. tolteca could be a syntype, although this seems unlikely.

A junior synonym of Rhysodesmus toltecus (Saussure, 1859)
