olmecus Humbert & Saussure, 1869a: 155 [ Parajulus ].

Mexico, Cordillera orientalis. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription, the type locality Moyoapan and stated that they had six ♂ and eight ♀. The MHNG collection contains 3 ♂ and parts of at least 6 ♀ in alcohol, in three jars. The ♂ lectotype, designated by Mauriès (1972: 160), is in one jar, two ♂ and five ♀ labelled as paralectotypes are in the second, while fragments of ♀ are in the third. According to notes in the jars, the lectotype and paralectotypes were transferred from the dry collection by Mauriès in 1971.
