Vera-Cruz. Unspecified series.
Saussure (1860) gave a more detailed redescription of both sexes. The MHNG collection contains a ♂ in alcohol under the name
Orthoporus montezumae
and a ♀ in alcohol under the name
Spirostreptus montezumae
. The ♂ is labelled as holotype but because the type series was unspecified it should be considered as a syntype. The ♀ is identified as
montezumae
var. and
may not be a syntype. There is a further syntype in the MNHN (MY4388) according to their online database.
