aztecus Saussure, 1859b: 331 [ Julus].

Cordova au Mexique. Unspecified series.

Saussure (1860) gave a much more detailed redescription of both sexes. He stated that he had many specimens from “les parties chaudes du Mexique, à Vera Cruz, à Cordova, à Orizaba etc.” Carl (1919) described and illustrated the gonopods. The MHNG collection contains three ♂ and two ♀ card-mounted specimens and one ♀ directly pinned under the name Spirobolus aztecus and many specimens in alcohol in three jars under the name Rhinocricus aztecus . The three dry ♂ each have the label “Mexique, Voyage de Saussure,” two of the ♀ are labelled “Mexique, Vge de Saussure” and the third is labelled “Orizava [sic] Mexique, Vge de Saussure.” These are all syntypes. One of the jars containing two ♂ specimens in alcohol has the label “ Spirobolus aztecus Sss, type, Mexique, Sumichrast.” The second, labelled “Holotypus” contains around twenty broken specimens without a contemporary data label. The third contains around eight broken specimens and is labelled “ Spirobolus aztecus Sauss., Mexique (Sumichrast).” It is likely that all of these are syntypes. There are further syntypes in the ZMHB (Moritz & Fischer, 1975; ZMB209) and in the MNHN (MY305, MY4328) according to their online database.
