coarctatus Saussure, 1860: 297-298, fig. 18 [ Polydesmus].

Cayenne. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

Saussure questioned the locality labels because he considered the specimens to be very similar to P. beaumontii Leguillou, 1841, described from Java. The MHNG collection contains many specimens in alcohol, including some studied by Saussure, but none could be identified as syntypes. The NHMW collection includes a specimen collected by Ida Pfeiffer in Borneo and identified as this species by Humbert & Saussure (Inventory number 3503, Acquisition number 1866.I.135). This species is of Asian origin, but now found throughout the tropics. The whereabouts of the syntypes is unknown.
