Borneo. W. Morton. Unspecified number of ♂.

The MHNG collection contains three specimens in alcohol in two jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-15124) contains one specimen accompanied by a small vial with gonopods. The identification label has “Borneo, ex coll. Morton” written on it. There is a handwritten label indicating that in 1973 Hoffman intended to designate this specimen as the lectotype, but this designation does not seem to have been formally published and the specimen is therefore a syntype. An undated typewritten label states that Hoffman identified the specimen as Eurydirorhachis mortoni (Carl) . The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-15125) contains two broken specimens. The identification label in the jar has “Borneo (W. Morton)” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. An undated typewritten label states that Hoffman identified this specimen as Eurydirorhachis mortoni (Carl) .
