The MHNG collection contains four specimens in alcohol in two vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-14504) contains a broken specimen in a smaller vial and labels with “ Thyropygus nanus Carl ♂ cotype Yerkaud” and “P ♂ cotype” written on them respectively. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-14505) contains three broken specimens, parts of two of which are still on pins that once ran the length of the body, and a label reading “Thyrop. nanus Carl, Yerkaud Henderson ”. The locality data corresponds to that given in the original description and all of these specimens are syntypes. There are other syntypes in the BMNH.
