Parties chaudes du Mexique. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.
The pagination of the publication is faulty and reads 559- 561.
Carl (1919)
described and illustrated the gonopods using Saussure’s specimens. The MHNG collection contains one card-mounted specimen under the name
Spirobolus zapotecus
and a ♂ in alcohol under the name
Rhinocricus zapotecus
. The dry specimen is labelled “Mexique” and is presumably a syntype. The specimen in alcohol is broken and the gonopods are separated in a vial. It has a label in Carl’s handwriting “cet expl. était étiquetté
chichimecus
mais il est identique à
zapotecus
type. Saussure n’a pas eu le ♂ de
chichimecus
.” It is therefore not a syntype of
J. zapotecus
.
Anadenobolus zapotecus
(Saussure, 1860)
