simillimus Humbert & Saussure, 1869a: 150 [ Polydesmus (Fontaria)].

Mexico temperata. Unspecified series (more than one individual).

Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription, and mentioned the locality “Cordillère orientale; Santa Cruz près Orizaba”, noting that the species was found under the bark of trees. The MHNG collection has six card-mounted specimens under the name Fontaria simillima . Two ♂ specimens mounted on the same card have the label “5d” while four smaller specimens, all mounted on the same card, have the label “5c”. There is also a glass vial with a dry pair of gonopods secured by a pin through the cork stopper. Hoffman (1966: 16) designated the smaller ♂ (mounted legsup) as lectotype, as indicated by the word “Lectotype” handwritten on the card at the rear of the specimen.
