Linozonium mexicanum ( Humbert & Saussure, 1869 )

John Hollier, Edmund Schiller & Nesrine Akkari, 2017, An annotated list of the Diplopoda described by Aloïs Humbert alone and with Henri de Saussure, and the Diplopoda from Saussure’s Mexico expedition, Revue suisse de Zoologie 124 (2), pp. 203-224 : 213

mexicana Humbert & Saussure, 1869a: 155 -156 [ Siphonophora ].

Mexico, Cordillera orientalis. Unspecified number of ♀.

Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription and the locality “montagnes de la Sierra de Agua, près Orizaba.” The MHNG contains fragments of an unknown number of specimens in alcohol under the name Siphonophora mexicana . There is no data label but the identification labels in the jar have “Mexique” written on them. The specimens are presumably syntypes. The NHMW contains a ♂ donated by Humbert and Saussure, which may be a syntype (Inventory number 2098, Acquisition number 1866.I.G).
