mexicanus Saussure, 1859a: 327 [ Stenodesmus].

Terres chaudes du Mexique. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

Saussure (1860) gave a more detailed description and the type locality as Cordova. Carl (1903) stated that the dry ♂ type specimen was so badly damaged that he could only examine the last segment of the gonopod. The MHNG collection has one card-mounted ♀ under the name Stenodesmus mexicanus . It is labelled “t.c. [terres chaudes], Mexique” and the anterior part of the body is missing. This specimen is clearly a syntype. The remains of the ♂ syntype studied by Carl are apparently lost.
