Rhysodesmus vicinus
Authors/Creators
Description
vicinus Saussure, 1859a: 322 [Polydesmus (Fontaria)].
Plateau du Mexique. Unspecified series.
Saussure (1860) gave a more detailed redescription of both sexes, stating that he had eleven specimens. He gave the distribution as “les terres froides du Mexique, le plateau de l’Anahuac; toutefois on l’a pris aussi à Oaxaca.” Hoffman (1999) stated that he had not found this species in the MHNG, but the collection has three dry specimens under the name Fontaria vicinus. One card-mounted specimen is labelled “Puebla, Mexique” and the other “Mexique,” the latter is badly broken. There is a broken dry specimen in a glass tube containing a locality label “Puebla, Mexique” and secured by a pin through the cork stopper. There is also a glass vial with a pair of dry gonopods secured by a pin through the cork stopper. There is no reason to suppose that these are not syntypes. There is a further syntype in the ZMHB (Moritz & Fischer, 1978; ZMB204).
