otomitus Saussure, 1859b: 330 [ Julus].

Mexique. Unspecified series.

Saussure (1860) gave a more detailed redescription of the ♀, stating that he had eight specimens, all ♀. He gave a number of localities: “Cordova, Vera Cruz, San-Andres- Tuxtla – Oaxaca?” The MHNG collection contains one specimen in alcohol under the name Julus otomitus . The specimen has been transferred from the dry collection and the original label is illegible. A more recent label states that the specimen was identified as the type of Orthoporus otomitus by Hoffman in 1975. This specimen is a syntype. There is a syntype in the ZMHB (Moritz & Fischer, 1974; ZMB212, erroneously referred to as the holotype). A specimen in the NHMW collection (Inventory number 2445, Acquisition number 1866.I.H) donated by Humbert & Saussure is probably another syntype. The NHMW collection also contains a ♂ collected by Friedrichsthal in “Nova Grenada” (Inventory number 2444, Acquisition number 1866.I.51c) and fragments of three ♀ collected by Scherzer in “Central America” (Inventory number 3043, Acquisition number 1866.I.119) which were identified as this species by Humbert & Saussure.
