The MHNG collection contains the three specimens in alcohol in two vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-14521) contains one specimen and labels with “HillGrove Estate ob. Stufe 22.XII ♂ ” and “ ♂ type, 62 segm, Gonopod voir prépar.” written on them respectively. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-14522) contains two specimens separated by a cottonwool plug; the lower has the head, segments with gonopods and other dissected parts in a smaller vial and a label with “ ♂ cotype 59 segmte ” written on it. The vial has a data label with “Kleiner Djungel bei Coonoor 24. XII ♂ ad.” written on it. No holotype was designated in the original description and all of these specimens are syntypes. There are also two microscope slide preparations: 1) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14523) with the gonopods of the first specimen and 2) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14524) with the first pair of legs and antennae of one of the specimens.
