The
MHNG
collection contains
four specimens
in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14430). The specimens are accompanied by a small vial containing a partially dissected head and some pairs of legs. The data label has “Grosser Wald im oberen Vattavadai-Tal (Travancore)
10.IV
” written on it, indicating that these are the
syntypes
of the subspecies
vallensis
, even though the identification labels only have “
Aulacobolus ejaculans
” written on them. There is also a microscope slide preparation of a pair of posterior gonopods (MHNG-ARTO-14431) labelled “Auloc. ejaculans subsp.
♂
Vattavadai” and thus part of one of the
syntypes
.
