Carl (1941b: 586)
gave the locality data “Anaimalais: Kokumalai, bei Attakatti (
1000 m
), im lichten Busch, unter Steinen, exponiert und trocken,
III.1927
.” The
MHNG
collection contains
45 syntypes
in alcohol in six vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-14465) contains
one specimen
broken into several pieces and a label with “
Diopsiulus mulierosus Carl
,
♂
type
!” written on it. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-14466) contains
one specimen
with the anterior part of the body detached and a label with “
Diopsiulus mulierosus Carl
, 49 segmts.,
♀
vierge, Z. Anz.
117 p.
245 (3)” written on it. The third vial (MHNG-ARTO-14467) contains
two specimens
in smaller vials, both with the anterior of the body detached and labelled as “3e larve”. The fourth vial (MHNG-ARTO-14468) contains four broken specimens and a label with “
Diopsiulus mulierosus Carl
,
types
♀
, Attakatti, Zool. Anz. 214” written on it. The fifth vial (MHNG-ARTO-14469) contains
36 specimens
, one of them with a pin running the length of the body, and a label with “
Diopsiulus mulierosus Carl
, juvs. Attakatti
3.III.27
, xerophil.” written on it. The sixth vial (MHNG- ARTO-14470) contains
one specimen
without a label. No
type
was designated in the original description and so all of these specimens are
syntypes
. There are also seven microscope slide preparations which, while only labelled “
Diopsiulus
I
” have “Attakatti” or “Attakatti, Kokumalai” written on the labels and are obviously part of the
type
series: 1) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14471) with gonopods and legs; 2) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14472) with a pair of
♀
third legs; 3) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14473) with antennae and
♂
first, second and third legs; 4) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14474) with the first, second and third legs of a juvenile
♂
; 5) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14475) with the receptacula of a
♀
; 6) a slide (MHNG- ARTO-14476) of the gonopods of a nearly mature
♂
; 7) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14477) with the gonopods of an immature
♂
.
