olmeca Humbert & Saussure, 1869: 157 [Scolopendra].

Mexico temperata et altior. Unspecified series.

Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription, stating that they had more than one specimen and giving the localities Cuernavaca and Puebla. The MHNG collection contains six specimens in alcohol in two jars under the name Scolopendra olmeca . The first jar, containing five specimens, has “ Mexique ” written on two of the identification labels in it. These specimens are presumably syntypes. The second jar, containing one specimen, has the label “ Scolopendra olmeca Sss. ? (Sss. det.) Mexico ” and this specimen cannot be considered a syntype because its identity was uncertain to one of the authors.
