velutinus xanthopleurus Carl, 1909a: 249-250 [ Sphaeropoeus ].

Sumatra (Coll. W. Morton und Museum Bern). Unspecified series .

The MHNG collection contains one specimen in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO.18449). The specimen is accompanied

by a vial containing gonopods. The identification labels in the jar do not give any locality data, but the specimen is probably a syntype. There are two specimens collected by Morton in Sumatra in the MCZL which are syntypes, and presumably at least one other syntype in the NMBE.
