cyaneus Saussure, 1859a: 327 [ Strongylodesmus].

Régions tempérées du Mexique. Unspecified series.

Saussure (1860) gave a more detailed redescription of the ♂ without mentioning the ♀, and indicated that he had several specimens. Carl (1903) described and illustrated the gonopod, referring to more than one ♂ “Originalexemplare.” The MHNG collection has five ♂ specimens labelled as types in alcohol under the name Strongylodesmus cyaneus . All are broken, some have the data label “Orizaba, Mexique, M H de Saussure” and others are without data labels, but are presumably syntypes. Some more recently collected specimens are also present. Hoffman (1999) refers to a ♂ holotype in the MHNG without justification.
