Type material.
ZMB 117762, one syntype; ex Albers coll. No. 375, ex Petit.
Remarks.
Petit did not mention on how many specimens his description was based upon; however, since he mentions a variety, he must have seen more than one specimen. Although the original label does not mention the published locality, Petit suggested explicitly New Caledonia in his paper. Therefore, the type status is not disputed. The current systematic position is after
Neubert et al. (2009
: 53), who considered the type material "very probably lost".
Current systematic position.
Bothriembryontidae
,
Placostylus fibratus fibratus
(Martyn, 1784).
