spiralis Carl, 1909b: 352-354 , pl. 8, fig. 46 [ Odontopyge ].

Njarugenje-Niansa ( Central-Ruanda ); Kerehe (Süd-Ost- Ruanda); Biaramuli (Ost-Ussuwi); Bukoba. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

The MHNG collection contains 44 specimens in alcohol in three jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-18517) contains four specimens, two of them broken. The identification labels in the jar have “ Bukoba Dr J. Carl ” and “ types Bukoba J. Carl ” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-18518) contains 22 specimens, four of them broken. The identification labels in the jar have “ Njarugenje-Niansa J. Carl ” and “ types Ruanda central J. Carl ” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The third jar (MHNG- ARTO-18519) contains parts of at least 16 specimens, eight of them broken and some apparently incomplete. There is also a vial containing gonopods. The original identification label in the jar has “Biaramuli” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. An undated typewritten label in the jar states that Hoffman identified these specimens as Syndesmogenus spiralis (Carl) . There are four syntypes in the ZMUH ( Weidner, 1960) and four (two ♂, one ♀ and one damaged specimen referred to as “Paratypoide” in the NMB catalogue) in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00184a).
