The
MHNG
collection contains
three specimens
in alcohol in two jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-15124) contains
one specimen
accompanied by a small vial with gonopods. The identification label has “Borneo, ex coll. Morton” written on it. There is a handwritten label indicating that in 1973 Hoffman intended to designate this specimen as the
lectotype
, but this designation does not seem to have been formally published and the specimen is therefore a
syntype
. An undated typewritten label states that Hoffman identified the specimen as
Eurydirorhachis mortoni
(Carl)
. The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-15125) contains two broken specimens. The identification label in the jar has “Borneo (W. Morton)” written on it, indicating that the specimens are
syntypes
. An undated typewritten label states that Hoffman identified this specimen as
Eurydirorhachis mortoni
(Carl)
.
