Neu-Caledinien: Pam, Juli 1911; Diahotal nach Col Porori, 7. Mai 1911; Tschalabel, 5. Mai 1911; Oubatche, April 1911; Tao, 24. Mai 1911; Hienghène, Juni 1911; Koné, Aug. 1911; Bourail, Jan. 1912. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

The MHNG collection contains 17 specimens in alcohol in two vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-14341) contains six specimens, one broken. The data label has “Drs F. Sarasin & J. Roux, N. Caled. Zwischen Diahotal und Col Porori, 6.V.11 ” written on it, and the identification label indicates that it is a new species. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-14342) contains eleven specimens, five of them with pins running the length of the body, two broken. The data label has “Tschalabel N.-C. unter Kalkblöcken” written on it and the identification label has “n. sp. Drs F. Sarasin & J. Roux, N. Caled.” written on it. All of these specimens are presumably syntypes even though the data in the first tube do not exactly match that given in the original description. There are more than 16 syntypes (♂ and ♀ referred to as “ Typus ” in the NMB catalogue) in the NMB (inventory numbers NMB-DIPL- 00380a to NMB-DIPL-00380g).
