Collection remarks. The specimen was collected by the Italian zoologist Alfredo Borelli (1858–1943) and came from the collection of the Museum of Natural History in Turin (Museo Regionale die Scienze Naturali) where additional syntypes are likely preserved.

Current systematic position. Junior synonym of Akymnopellis chilensis (Gervais, 1847) . Synonymy established by Kraepelin (1903: 214, as Hemiscolopendra ). The South American species of Hemiscolopendra were recognised as a distinct genus Akymnopellis by Shelley (2010) who also lists longipleura as a junior synonym of A. chilensis .
