Chelogonobolus nahuus ( 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 : 215

nahuus Humbert & Saussure, 1869a: 154 [ Spirobolus ].

Mexico, Cordillera orientalis. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription, the type locality “Sierra de Moyoapan” and indicated that they had three ♂ and three ♀. Carl (1919) redescribed the species and illustrated the gonopods. The MHNG collection contains parts of at least seven specimens in alcohol under the name Chelogonobolus nahuus . The specimens are in two vials and a third vial contains a damaged pair of gonopods. There is no data label but there is a label indicating that the specimens were studied by Carl for the 1919 publication and therefore include syntypes.
