♀
.
No specimens found in the
MHNG
. The
♂
holotype
is in the
NMB
(inventory number NMB-DIPL-00163a). According to
Jeekel (2001: 43)
this species is in need of a revision and cannot be assigned to a genus.
Rhinocricus
is an American genus, so it is very unlikely that this species belongs to
Rhinocricus
. It was listed as
Dinematocricus
? in
Chamberlin (1920)
without re-examination, and
Marek
et al
. (2003)
transferred all
Dinematocricus
from
Sulawesi
to
Salpidobolus
. Until a proper revision of the
type
specimen is undertaken, it is best to leave this species in its original combination.

The
MHNG
collection contains one broken specimen in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-18626). The identification labels in the jar have “
Nelle
Zélande Suter-Naef” and “
Ne
Zélande (Nord) Suter” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimen is part of the
type
series.
Johns (1964: 36)
designated this specimen as the
lectotype
. The
MHNG
also has a microscope slide preparation of gonopods and legs (MHNG-ARTO-18630); it is not clear if these belong to the
lectotype
or to the
paralectotype
. The
paralectotype
is presumably in the
NMBE
.
