Hollier, John & Stagl, Verena, 2016, The Chilopoda (Myriapoda) described by Aloïs Humbert, Henri de Saussure and Leo Zehntner, Revue suisse de Zoologie 123 (2), pp. 227-233 : 228

arantsoae Saussure & Zehntner, 1897 , pl. 12, fig. 5 [Cormocephalus].

Saussure & Zehntner (1902: 317-319) gave a description and the locality information “ Madagascar 3 individus ( Musée de Genève ), 1 jeune, Calat (Musée de Paris); Côte occidentale de Madagascar 2 individus, Voeltzkow ” without specifying the sex. The MHNG collection contains five specimens in alcohol under the name Cormocephalus arantsoae . There is no data label but the identification labels in the jar have “ Madagascar ” written on them. Since no specimens are listed on the SMF online database, all five are probably syntypes. There are no specimens listed on the MNHN online database despite the fact that it is mentioned as a depository of one of the syntypes.
