John Hollier, Edmund Schiller & Nesrine Akkari, 2017, An annotated list of the Diplopoda described by Aloïs Humbert alone and with Henri de Saussure, and the Diplopoda from Saussure’s Mexico expedition, Revue suisse de Zoologie 124 (2), pp. 203-224 : 209

cultratus Humbert & Saussure, 1870: 175 [ Spirostreptus ].

Brasilia. Unspecified series.

Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription, stating that the original description was based on three fragments of a ♂ collected by Natterer. No specimens found in the MHNG. The holotype is in the NHMW (Inventory number 2523/2532, Acquisition number 1866.I.92). The specimen was reviewed by Hoffman, who illustrated the head and left gonopod ( Hoffman, 1968a). This specimen has two inventory numbers because it was also described as Alogostreptus nattereri Attems, 1950 , making the latter a junior synonym of U. cultratus ( Humbert & Saussure, 1870) .
