neglectus Carl, 1903: 560-561 [ Acutangulus ].

Orizaba, Mexico. Unspecified series.

The MHNG collection contains fragments of at least two specimens in alcohol in two vials. The first vial (MHNG- ARTO-18552) contains a smaller vial of fragments and has an old data label with “Orizaba, Mexique ” written on it. There are two handwritten identification labels with “ Acutangulus neglectus Carl ” and “ Strongylosoma coccineus S. et H. ♀ ” written on them respectively. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-18553) contains a smaller vial of fragments and an old data label which has once been secured on a pin and is largely illegible although “Orizaba” is just discernible. There are two handwritten identification labels with “ Acutangulus neglectus Carl ” and “ Strongylosoma coccineus S. et H. ♂ ” written on them. These specimens are syntypes. Carl gave this name to the specimens referred to as Polydesmus coccineus var. by Saussure & Humbert (1872) which he recognised as a distinct species when revising the specimens.
