Polycricus toltecus ( Humbert & Saussure, 1869 )

toltecus Humbert& Saussure, 1869:159 [Arthronomalus].

Mexico orientalis. Unspecified series.

Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription and the type locality “ Orizaba ”. The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol under the name Geophilus toltecus . The specimens are in separate tubes, one containing two smaller vials and the other with one smaller vial. The identification labels, one of which is badly torn, that were associated with the specimens are in a third tube and read “ Arthronomalus toltecus Sss. u H., type, Mexique.” More recent labels written by Crabill in 1959 identify one of the specimens as a lectotype and the other as a paralectotype. This designation does not appear to have been published and the specimens are therefore syntypes.
