rufozonatus Carl, 1918: 435-436 View in CoL , fig. 13 [ Rhinocricus ].

Moluques. Muséum de Genève. One ♂ and two ♀.

The MHNG collection contains three specimens in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-18462). One of the specimens is broken, and they are accompanied by a vial containing gonopods. The identification labels in the jar have “ Moluques (Deyrolle)” and “ Moluques types ” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. According to Jeekel (2001: 43) this species is in need of a revision and cannot be reliably assigned to a genus. It is very unlikely that this species belongs to the American genus Rhinocricus .
