An annotated list of the Diplopoda described by Aloïs Humbert alone and with Henri de Saussure, and the Diplopoda from Saussure’s Mexico expedition Author John Hollier Author Edmund Schiller Author Nesrine Akkari text Revue suisse de Zoologie 2017 2017-09-30 124 2 203 224 journal article 31808 10.5281/zenodo.893503 c0dc4be8-6e76-47ef-989d-ee77833bfc09 893503 mexicanus Saussure, 1859b: 328 -329 [ Glomeridesmus ]. Mexique. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀. Saussure (1860) states that the specimens came from “Cordova, zone chaude du Mexique”. Carl (1902) illustrated the gonopod. The MHNG collection contains three specimens in alcohol (in two jars) and parts of at least five card-mounted or pinned specimens under the name Sphaeriodesmus mexicanus . The pinned specimens are broken, and some parts that have been secondarily card-mounted are not necessarily all from the same specimen. The ♂ specimen studied by Carl is in alcohol and labelled as a type with a locality label in the jar reading “Pic d’Orizaba, H. de Sss”. Among the pinned specimens there are a ♂ and part of a ♀ labelled “Cordova, Mexique, M H de Saussure” which are clearly syntypes. The other specimens were collected by Sumichrast or have illegible labels and are less certainly syntypes. There is also a syntype in the ZMHB ( Moritz & Fischer, 1978; ZMB213 ). Sphaeriodesmus mexicanus (Saussure, 1859)
