ambiguus Carl, 1926: 424-246 View in CoL , figs 83-86 [ Spirobolellus ].

Neu-Caledonien: Tchalabel, unter Kalkblöcken, 5. Mai 1911; Oubatche, Wald, unter faulem Holz, April 1911; Mt. Ignambi, Wald, April 1911, 800- 1000 m; Hienghène; Insel Ouedjo bei Hienghène, Juni 1911; Canala, März 1912; Bourail, 26. Jan. 1912; La Foa, 16. Jan. 1912. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

The MHNG collection contains five specimens in two jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-14328) contains four specimens, one with a pin running the length of the body, and a vial containing gonopods. The identification label has “Drs F. Sarasin & J. Roux, N. Caled. Bourail 2.II.12 ” written on it, and the specimens are presumably syntypes despite the collecting date not corresponding to that in the original description. The second jar (MHNG- ARTO-14329) contains a specimen collected in 1977 which is clearly not part of the type series. There are 12 syntypes (referred to as “ Typen ” in the NMB catalogue) in the NMB (inventory numbers NMB-DIPL-00363a to NMB-DIPL-00363g).
