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 carolinensis Saussure, 1859a: 325 [ Polydesmus ( Paradesmus ) ]. Caroline du Sud. Unspecified series. Saussure (1860) gives a much more detailed redescription which mentions both sexes. Saussure & Humbert (1872) considered the name to be a junior synonym of P. erythropygus Brandt, 1839 . Carl (1903) described and illustrated the gonopod of an “Originalexemplar” of P. carolinensis under the name Euryurus erythropygus . The MHNG collection has two card-mounted specimens under the name Pachyurus carolinensis . One is a ♂ labelled “Caroline S., Etats Unis” the other is ♀ and unlabelled. Hoffman refers to a ♂ holotype in the MHNG but because the original series was unspecified and the redescription covers both sexes, these specimens should be considered syntypes. There is a further syntype in the ZMHB ( Moritz & Fischer, 1978; ZMB206, erroneously referred to as the holotype ). Euryurus carolinensis (Saussure, 1859)
