Mexico temperata. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.
Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription, the locality “Cordillère orientale” and stated that they had one ♂ and seven ♀. The MHNG collection contains one specimen in alcohol under the name
Fontaria nahua
. There is no data label but the identification labels in the jar have “Mexique” or “Cordova” written on them. One of these labels reads “
Polydesmus nahua Sss
et H. (type) Cordova” indicating that it is a syntype. There is one broken ♀ syntype in the NHMW (Inventory number 3333, Acquisition number 1866.I.B) donated by Humbert and Saussure. The whereabouts of the other syntypes is unknown.
