cyprius Humbert & Saussure, 1869a: 684 -685 [ Polydesmus (Oxyurus)].

Chypre, Kotschy (Musée de Vienne). Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

Attems (1898) redescribed the species based on type specimens in the NHMW. The MHNG has one specimen in alcohol under the name Leptodesmus cyprius . A note in the jar reads “ Polydesmus cyprius Sss. & H. (Type) Chypre, Mus. Vienne”, indicating that it is a syntype. The NHMW contains fragments of at least six syntypes, including one pair of gonopods in situ and one pair in a glass vial (Inventory number 2024, Acquisition number 1866.I.152). Hoffman (1968b) illustrated the gonopods of a syntype in the NHMW.
