Chypre, Kotschy (Musée de Vienne). Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.
Attems (1898)
redescribed the species based on type specimens in the NHMW. The MHNG has one specimen in alcohol under the name
Leptodesmus cyprius
. A note in the jar reads “
Polydesmus cyprius Sss.
& H. (Type) Chypre, Mus. Vienne”, indicating that it is a syntype. The NHMW contains fragments of at least six syntypes, including one pair of gonopods
in situ
and one pair in a glass vial (Inventory number 2024, Acquisition number 1866.I.152).
Hoffman (1968b)
illustrated the gonopods of a syntype in the NHMW.
