multistriatus Carl, 1912c: 192-193 View in CoL [ Rhinocricus ].

Buol, Nord-Celebes (coll. Sarasin). One ♀.

No specimens found in the MHNG. The ♂ holotype is in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00163a). According to Jeekel (2001: 43) this species is in need of a revision and cannot be assigned to a genus. Rhinocricus is an American genus, so it is very unlikely that this species belongs to Rhinocricus . It was listed as Dinematocricus ? in Chamberlin (1920) without re-examination, and Marek et al. (2003) transferred all Dinematocricus from Sulawesi to Salpidobolus . Until a proper revision of the type specimen is undertaken, it is best to leave this species in its original combination.

? Rhinocricus multistriatus Carl, 1912 , Rhinocricidae nanus Carl, 1902: 631-633 , pl. 11, figs 55-56 [ Icosidesmus ].

Neuseeland, Nordinsel, Suter (Berner & Genfer Museum). Two ♂.

The MHNG collection contains one broken specimen in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-18626). The identification labels in the jar have “ Nelle Zélande Suter-Naef” and “ Ne Zélande (Nord) Suter” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimen is part of the type series. Johns (1964: 36) designated this specimen as the lectotype. The MHNG also has a microscope slide preparation of gonopods and legs (MHNG-ARTO-18630); it is not clear if these belong to the lectotype or to the paralectotype. The paralectotype is presumably in the NMBE.
