The MHNG collection contains eight specimens in alcohol in two jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-18545) contains seven specimens, three with a pin running the length of the body. They are accompanied by a vial containing gonopods. Both of the identification labels in the jar have “Süd. Kagera J. Carl” written on them, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. An undated label has “selon HOFFMAN: Gomphodesmidae , Emphysemastix flavosignatus (Carl) ” typewritten on it. The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-18546) contains one specimen. The labels in the jar are typewritten and have “Kagera-Mabira, Pori 4-5.XI.08 ” and “ Kagera ” written on them, suggesting that this specimen is also a syntype. There are two syntypes in the ZMUH ( Weidner, 1960), three in the MCZL, two in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00173a) and two in the ZMHB ( Moritz & Fischer, 1978a).
