The MHNG collection contains 15 specimens in alcohol, in five tubes. The jar contains a label reading “Tandikudi 23.IV. Cardamum Estate, Unter Holz”. Each of the three ♂ is in a separate tube: the first ( MHNG-ARTO-14236 ) is broken in half and has a data label with “Maryland” written on it; the second ( MHNG-ATRO-14237 ) is accompanied by two smaller vials containing the head and anterior rings and the gonopods and has a data label with “Tandikudi” written on it; the third ( MHNG- ARTO-14238 ) is broken into five parts, with a note that the gonopods have been slide mounted. The fourth tube (MHNG-ARTO-14239) contains two specimens, one broken, with a data label with “Masingudi, Busch” written on it. The fifth tube (MHNG-ARTO-14240) contains ten specimens, mostly broken, with a data label with “Tandikudi” written on it. The microscope slide preparation of the gonopods of a ♂ syntype ( MHNG- ARTO-14238 ) is in a case glued to the lid of the jar. All of these specimens are syntypes.
