The MHNG collection contains 33 specimens in alcohol in three vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-14455) contains two specimens in a smaller vial and labels with “ Diopsiulus IV Elkhill ” and “ Diopsiulus crassipes Carl , type ♂ et cotype ♂, Elkhill” written on them. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-14456) contains one specimen and a label with “ Diopsiulus crassipes Carl , ♀ type, Elkhill I.27 ” written on it. The third vial (MHNG-ARTO-14457) contains 30 specimens, several of them broken, and a label with “ Diopsiulus crassipes Carl, Elkhill, Juvs. ” written on it. There are also three microscope slides preparations of parts of syntypes: 1) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14458) with ♂ legs, gnathochilarium and antenna; 2) slide (MHNG-ARTO-14459) with gonopods and legs of both ♂; 3) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14460) with the second and third legs of the ♀. Despite the label in the first tube, no holotype designation was made in the original description and all of these specimens are syntypes.
