fossiger typica Carl, 1909b: 296-299 , pl. 6, figs 7-14 [ Strongylosoma ].

Sultanat Ihangiro, in Bananenpflanzungen, unter Blättern und Bananenstämmen. Bukoba auf Steinblöcken unter Laub. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

The MHNG collection contains 63 specimens in alcohol in two jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-18562) contains parts of at least 17 specimens; five have pins running the length of the body and most are broken. One specimen has been separated in a vial along with a smaller vial containing gonopods. The identification labels in the jar have “ ♂ ♀ types Bukoba u. Ihangiro” and “ types Bukoba et Ihangiro Dr J. Carl” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-18563) contains parts of at least 46 specimens; two have a pin running the length of the body and many are badly broken. There is an original identification label with “Ihangiro” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. There are three syntypes in the ZMUH ( Weidner, 1960), three in the ZMHB ( Moritz & Fischer, 1978a) and three in the MCZL. The description and some of the old labels refer to “ S. fossiger var. typica ” but it could be argued that this indicates that the taxon is the nominal subspecies rather than being an available name.
