Johann Carl described 390 species or subspecies of millipedes during his long career at the Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Genève, studying specimens collected on his own expeditions and on those of other, mainly Swiss, naturalists. The type specimens deposited in Geneva are enumerated, and the type specimens that could be located in other collections in other museums are reported. Lectotypes are designated for 17 species: Brachyspirobolus aequatorialis (Carl, 1909), Carlopeltis alatus (Carl, 1914), Mastigorhacus alatus (Carl, 1912), Salpidobolus annulipes (Carl, 1912), Erythrhacus arietis (Carl, 1912), Argentocricus bernardinensis (Carl, 1918), Trigoniulus bitaeniatus Carl, 1912, Desmocricus conjunctusCarl, 1918, Polylepis elberti Carl, 1912, Trigoniulus incommodus Carl, 1912, Stenobolus insularisCarl, 1918, Salpidobolus lateralis (Carl, 1912), Dinematocricus lombokensis (Carl, 1912), Prepodesmus longipes (Carl, 1913), Arostrophus mertoni (Carl, 1912), Salpidobolus moenensis (Carl, 1912) and Eucarlia velox (Carl, 1912). Polydesmus carli nom. nov. is introduced as a replacement name for Polydesmus japonicusCarl, 1902, a junior homonym of Polydesmus japonicusPeters, 1864. Odontopyge johanncarli nom. nov. is introduced as a replacement name for Odontopyge fasciataCarl, 1905, a junior homonym of Odontopyge fasciataAttems, 1896.
INTRODUCTION
Johann (or Jean) Carl (1877-1944) joined the staff of the Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Genève (MHNG) as the junior assistant of Emil Frey-Gessner in 1900. Carl went on to become curator and eventually deputy director of the Museum. His scientific work followed on from that of Henri de Saussure, who published extensively on Hymenoptera, Orthoptera, Diplopoda and Crustacea (Hollier & Hollier, 2013). Saussure's influence was such that Carl worked on all of these groups, and was also a pioneer in the study of the Collembola (Revilliod, 1945). His Orthoptera type specimens are all in the MHNG (Hollier, 2010). The Diplopoda he studied included material collected on his own expeditions to East Africa and southern India, but he also examined the collections made on the expeditions of several other Swiss and German naturalists, and many type specimens were therefore deposited in other museums. In the first such study (Carl, 1905) he was invited by Ignacio Bolívar to study specimens collected by Martínez de la Escalera in Guinée Espagnole (now Equatorial Guinea) in the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN) in Madrid (Bolívar being a long-term collaborator of Saussure). Carl (1912c) studied the Diplopoda collected by Paul and Fritz Sarasin, both biologists from Basel, who left most of their collections to the Naturhistorisches Museum Basel (NMB), on their expedition to Celebes (now Sulawesi in Indonesia). He also (Carl, 1912c, 1913a) studied specimens from Celebes and Sumatra collected by Johannes Elbert and deposited in the Naturhistorisches Museum Bern (NMBE) and in the Senckenberg Naturmuseum Frankfurt (SMF). Fritz Sarasin, this time with Jean Roux of the NMB, also collected in New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands, and Carl (1926) worked on their specimens. Carl (1914b) studied the Diplopoda collected by the expedition of Fuhrmann and Mayor to Colombia. Their trip was partly funded by the city of Neuchâtel and their specimens ought to be deposited in the Musée d'histoire naturelle de Neuchâtel but they are apparently not there. Carl (1922) treated Diplopoda specimens collected in Indonesia by Hugo von Buttel-Reepen, who was the director of the Oldenburger Naturhistorisches Museum. The collection of W. Morton (who collected in Malaysia/Indonesia) is in the Musée cantonal de zoologie in Lausanne, and Carl (1909a) treated a number of Diplopoda specimens collected by him. He also (Carl, 1912a) described the Diplopoda specimens collected by Hugo Merton in the Aru and Kai Islands (now in Indonesia).
Carl published more than 30 articles on the Diplopoda (27 with descriptions of new taxa) and described 390 species or subspecies between 1902 and 1942. Carl did not designate holotypes, and did not always state how many specimens he had available for his descriptions (if there were few specimens he generally enumerated them, but was content with “several” or “many” if there were more). He clearly understood the need for fixing a type specimen however, and his labels often indicate types and cotypes although this has no formal meaning because it was not usually mentioned in the original description. Carl made a distinction between subspecies and varieties in his descriptions but, because they were all published before 1960, they must all be treated as being of subspecific rank. Carl generally provided adequate illustrations to accompany his descriptions, and also helpfully revised many of Humbert and Saussure's types, illustrating features not mentioned in the early descriptions (Hollieri et al., 2017). Specimens collected by other workers are often without a separate data label but usually have two identification labels with at least some information about provenance, one written by Carl (usually in pencil) and the other written in ink by another hand (see Fig. 1). Specimens collected by Carl himself often have a data label; these are handwritten in the case of the East Africa expedition and labels with “Voy. Carl et Escher, Inde méridionale” printed at the top and handwritten details added below in the case of the India expeditions.

CATALOGUE
acceptus Carl, 1914b: 907-908, fig. 143 [Batodesmus]. Gauduas. One ♂.
The MHNG collection contains two gonopods in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14350). The vial containing them has the label “Batodesmus acceptus Carl, ♂ type, gonopode” indicating that they belong to the holotype, while a photocopy of an original label in the jar gives the locality as “Colombie”. The whereabouts of the rest of the specimen is unknown.
Batodesmus acceptus Carl, 1914, Chelodesmidae
acceptus Carl, 1941b: 649-652, figs 115-120 [Ktenostreptus].
Untere Palnis: Tandikudi, 1500 m, in Cardamum-Pflanzung, unter Holz, 23.IV; Maryland, 1600 m. Moyar-Becken: Masinigudi, Busch. Three ♂, four ♀ and unspecified number of juveniles.
The MHNG collection contains 15 specimens in alcohol, in five tubes. The jar contains a label reading “Tandikudi 23.IV. Cardamum Estate, Unter Holz”. Each of the three ♂ is in a separate tube: the first (MHNG-ARTO-14236) is broken in half and has a data label with “Maryland” written on it; the second (MHNG-ATRO-14237) is accompanied by two smaller vials containing the head and anterior rings and the gonopods and has a data label with “Tandikudi” written on it; the third (MHNG-ARTO-14238) is broken into five parts, with a note that the gonopods have been slide mounted. The fourth tube (MHNG-ARTO-14239) contains two specimens, one broken, with a data label with “Masingudi, Busch” written on it. The fifth tube (MHNG-ARTO-14240) contains ten specimens, mostly broken, with a data label with “Tandikudi” written on it. The microscope slide preparation of the gonopods of a ♂ syntype (MHNG-ARTO-14238) is in a case glued to the lid of the jar. All of these specimens are syntypes.
Ktenostreptus acceptus Carl, 1941, Harpagophoridae
acutangulus Carl, 1926: 399-401, figs 47-52 [Canacophilus (Anthogonopus)].
Neu-Caledonien: Mt. Humboldt ca. 1100 m, 17. September 1911; Gipfel 1600 m, 18. September 1911. Unspecified number of ♂, ♀ and juveniles.
The MHNG collection contains three specimens, one with a pin running the length of the body, in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14292). The identification label in the jar has “Nlle Cal. Sarasin et Roux” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. There are two syntypes in the NMB (inventory numbers NMB-DIPL-00352a and NMB-DIPL-00352b). Canacophilus acutangulus is the type species of Anthogonopus Carl, 1926 by monotypy (Jeekel, 1971).
Canacophilus acutangulus Carl, 1926, Dalodesmidae
aequatorialis Carl, 1909b: 356-359, pl. 7, figs 25-30 [Microspirobolus].
Njarugenje (Central-Ruanda), im Tal des Njaranda, Jinja (Busoga), bei den Riponfällen des Nils. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.
The MHNG collection contains some 70 specimens in alcohol in two jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-14417) contains 28 specimens, several of them broken. One specimen is separated in a small vial with the anterior of the body and the gonopods detached: this specimen is here designated lectotype. Two specimens with pins running the length of the body are in a second small tube. The identification labels have “Njarugenje, Central-Ruanda Dr J. Carl” and “Rwanda centr. J. Carl Types” written on them respectively and there is a printed “Type” label, indicating that the specimens are part of the type series. The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-1 4418) contains some 40 specimens, many of them broken into several parts. The original pencil-written identification label has “Njarugenje J. Carl” written on it. Although there is no type label, there is no reason to doubt that these are part of the type series. There are three syntypes in the ZMUH (Weidner, 1960), six in the MCZL and three in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00185a). Microspirobolus aequatorialis was designated as the type species of the genus Microspirobolus Carl, 1909 by Brölemann (1914) but the name is preoccupied by Microspirobolus Silvestri, 1898. Carl (Carl in Brölemann, 1914) proposed the replacement name Brachyspirobolus Carl, 1914, with B. aequatorialis as the type species by direct substitution (Jeekel, 1971).
Brachyspirobolus aequatorialis (Carl, 1909), Pachybolidae
alatus Carl, 1914b: 900-901, fig. 130 [Alocodesmus].
Unterhalb Bodega central. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.
The MHNG collection contains one ♂ specimen in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14351) which is here designated as lectotype. The specimen is in a glass vial with some loose legs while the gonopods are in a separate smaller vial. The identification labels have “Bodega Central (Colombie)” and “Colombie, coll. Fuhrmann.” written on them respectively, and a printed “Cotype” label, indicating that the specimen is a syntype. There is an undated typewritten label stating that Hoffman had identified the specimen as Carlopeltis alatus. The whereabouts of the other syntype(s) is unknown. Carlopeltis alatus is the type species of the genus Carlopeltis Verhoeff, 1938 by monotypy (Jeekel, 1971).
Carlopeltis alatus (Carl, 1914), Chelodesmidae
alatus Carl, 1912c: 146-148, pl. 5, fig. 16 [Platyrrhacus]. Roembi-Mengkoka, S.-O.-Celebes (Dr J. Elbert); S.-O.Celebes (coll. Sarasin). One damaged ♂ and two ♀.
No specimens found in the MHNG. The SMF collection contains fragments of four ♂ and at least two ♀ in alcohol. The identification label has “Roembi-Mengkoke, SO-Celebes, J. Elbert” written on it. After examination of these type specimens, one ♂ (SMF 829) was placed in a separate jar and is here designated as lectotype. There is one ♀ paralectotype (referred to as “Typ” in the NMB catalogue) in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00137a).
Mastigorhacus alatus (Carl, 1912), Platyrhacidae
albicans Carl, 1902: 570-572, pl. 10, figs 3-4 [Strongylosoma].
Sumatra, Dr. Moesch (Zürcher Museum). One ♂ and one ♀.
The MHNG collection contains one specimen in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14293). The specimen is in a vial. A second vial contains a single gonopod; it is not clear if this is from the specimen in the jar or from the other syntype. The identification labels in the jar have “type Sumatra (Moesch)” written on them and indicate that the specimen is a syntype. The other syntype is presumably in the UZH.
Sundanina albicans (Carl, 1902), Paradoxosomatidae
albidus Carl, 1932: 485-487, figs 103-108 [Sholaphilus]. Palnis: Shola bei Vandaravu, 2300 m unter morschem Holz, 6.-10.IV. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.
The MHNG collection contains parts of some 20 specimens, some broken, in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14294). The specimens are in a vial separated by a cotton wool plug from a smaller vial containing fragments including antennae and gonopods. The data label has “Palnis, Vandaravu” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. Sholaphilus albidus is the type species of the genus Sholaphilus Car, 1932 by monotypy (and not by designation in the original description as stated by Jeekel, 1971).
Sholaphilus albidus Carl, 1932, Fuhrmannodesmidae

Soekaboemi, West-Java. E. Walch leg. Museum Genf. One ♂.
The MHNG collection contains one specimen in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14295). The specimen is broken and placed in a small vial, while several fragments including a gonopod are in a separate small vial. The identification labels have “type Java, E. Walch” written on them, indicating that the specimen is the holotype.
Tectoporus ambiguus (Carl, 1941), Paradoxosomatidae
ambiguus Carl, 1914b: 941, fig. 204 [Aphelidesmus].

The MHNG collection contains five specimens in two jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-14328) contains four specimens, one with a pin running the length of the body, and a vial containing gonopods. The identification label has “Drs F. Sarasin & J. Roux, N. Caled. Bourail 2.II.12” written on it, and the specimens are presumably syntypes despite the collecting date not corresponding to that in the original description. The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-14329) contains a specimen collected in 1977 which is clearly not part of the type series. There are 12 syntypes (referred to as “Typen” in the NMB catalogue) in the NMB (inventory numbers NMB-DIPL-00363a to NMB-DIPL-00363g).
Spirobolellus ambiguus Carl, 1926, Spirobolellidae
americanus Carl, 1902: 611-613, pl. 11, fig. 37 [Polydesmus].
Texas, J. Boll (Genfer Museum). Two ♂.
The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14296) under the name Pseudopolydesmus americanus. Both specimens have a pin running the length of the body. The data label in the jar reads “Texas, J. Boll” and one of the identification labels has “Type” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. A handwritten note states that Hoffman examined the specimens in 1960 and intended to designate the smaller specimen as the lectotype; this designation does not appear to have been published and Hoffman (1999: 445) erroneously refers to a holotype deposited in the MHNG. Two microscope slide preparations of gonopods of syntypes (MHNG-ARTO-14297) are in a case glued to the lid of the jar.

Puerto de los Pobres, am Cauca-Fluss. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.
The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol. The specimens, one of which is in three pieces, are in a small vial (MHNG-ARTO-14353). A second vial (MHNG-ARTO-14354) contains gonopods and dissected parts of a head. The identification labels have “Cauca (Colombie)” and “Colombie, Coll. Fuhrmann ♂” written on them respectively and there is a printed “Cotype” label indicating that the specimens are syntypes. Calymmodesmus andinus is the type species of the genus Calymmodesmus Carl, 1914 by monotypy (Jeekel, 1971). Calymmodesmus andinus Carl, 1914, Pyrgodesmidae

Ile Deslacs, L. Biro leg. Musée national hongrois. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.
The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol. The two specimens, each with a pin running the length of the body, are in a glass vial (MHNG-ARTO-14355). A smaller vial (MHNG-ARTO-14356) contains gonopods, antennae and some legs. The identification labels both have “Ile Deslacs, Biró leg.” written on them, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. There were presumably other syntypes in the HNHM, although these are not listed in Korsós (1983).
Trigoniulus andropygus impunctatus Carl, 1918, Pachybolidae
angustifrons Carl, 1905: 278-280, fig. 9 [Spirostreptus]. No explicit locality. Unspecified number of ♀.
No specimens found in the MHNG. According to Andrés Cobeta (2001: 70) there is a type specimen in the MNCN (MNCN 20.07/1174). Spirostreptus angustifrons Carl, 1905 is a junior homonym of S. angustifrons Brölemann, 1902. Given the large number of available names in the genus Spirostreptus, assignment of a replacement name is deferred until a taxonomic revision is carried out.
Spirostreptus angustifrons” Carl, 1905, Spirostreptidae
annulipes Carl,1917:402-405,figs23-24[Doratogonus]. Patrie? One ♂.
The MHNG collection contains one specimen in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14242). The jar contains three identification labels giving different locality information; the oldest has “Spirostreptus maritimus Koch, Brisbane, H. de Sss.” written on it in Zehntner's handwritting. Carl's pencil label has “Patrie?” written on it while the ink label has “Afrique(?)” written on it. This is clearly the holotype. The specimen is accompanied by a small vial containing the gonopods.

Java, auf Kaffeeblättern, Dr. L. Zehntner (Genfer Museum). One ♂.
The MHNG collection contains one specimen; the main body of the specimen is in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14360) and two legs and part of a gonopod are mounted on a microscope slide (MHNG-ARTO-14361). The identification labels have “type Java, Zehntner” and “Java, Zehntner” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimen is the holotype. An undated typewritten label states that Hoffman considered the specimen to belong to an unknown genus, and an undated label written in pencil reads “Orthomorpha armata Carl, ♂ holotype (7th somite missing) balsam preparation of telopodite of left gonopod + 2 legs separate, Jeekel”. Jeekel (1980b) gave a new illustration of the gonopod and placed the species in the genus Nesorthomorpha Jeekel, 1980.

Palnis: Maryland, Neutral Saddle; exponierter Westhang, ca. 1600 m, 19.IV. – Tandikudi, ca. 1500 m, Cardamum-Plantage, 23.IV. More than one ♂ and ♀.
The MHNG collection contains five specimens in alcohol in two vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-14362) contains one specimen with a pin running the length of the body and a data label with “Palnis inf., Tandikudi” written on it. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-14363) contains four specimens, two with a pin running the length of the body and the other two broken into several pieces. One of the specimens with a pin running the length of the body is separated in a smaller vial, and there is another vial with gonopods. The data label has “Maryland, Palnis inf.” written on it. There is also a pencil written label reading “♂ lectotype and 3 ♀ lectoparatypes”. Jeekel (1980a: 176) designated the ♂ from Neutral Saddle as the lectotype, the other specimens are paralectotypes. Grammorhabdus asperrimus is the type species of the genus Grammorhabdus Carl, 1932 by monotypy (Jeekel, 1971). An undated typewritten label in the jar states that Hoffman identified the specimens as Polydrepanum asperrimum (Carl).

The MHNG collection contains 36 specimens in alcohol in three jars. One jar (MHNG-ARTO-18489) contains 20 specimens, two of them separated into a vial with their dissected gonopods. Three of the specimens have pins running part of the length of the body and several are broken. The identification labels in the jar have “Biaramuli (Ost-Ussuwi) Dr J. Carl” and “types O.-Ussuwi J. Carl” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. An undated typewritten note in the jar states that Hoffman identified the specimens as Rhamphidarpina [sic] dorsosulcata. The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-18490) contains parts of at least 14 specimens, most of them broken. The identification labels in the jar are not original and have “Bukoba” typed on them, suggesting that the specimens are syntypes. The third jar (MHNG-ARTO-18491) contains two specimens, each with a pin running the length of the body. The identification labels in the jar have “Odontopyge dorsosulcata?” written on them, and “Jinja (Busoga) Dr J. Carl” and “Jinja Dr J. Carl” written on them respectively. Given the uncertain identification, these specimens are not considered syntypes. There are three syntypes in the ZMUH (Weidner, 1960) and three in the MCZL.

Japan (Genfer Museum). Two ♂.
The MHNG collection contains parts of at least six broken specimens (MHNG-ARTO-14542). There is a discrepancy between the original description, which mentions ♀ characters, and the list of specimens (two ♂) which follow it. The type series is restricted to the two ♂ which are presumably amongst these specimens. The original identification labels have “Japon ♂♀” written on them and there is a separate pencil label reading “Japon”. There is also an undated typewritten label indicating that Hoffman identified the specimens as Epanerchodus japonicus (Carl). Polydesmus japonicus Carl, 1902 is a junior homonym of P. japonicum Peters, 1864. The replacement name Polydesmus carli is proposed here for P. japonicus Carl, 1902.

The MHNG collection contains nine specimens in alcohol in two jars. One jar (MHNG-ARTP-18471) contains the lectotype designated by Demange & Mauriès (1975: 55), although it is unclear if the designation is valid because they also state that no lectotype was designated (Demange & Mauriès, 1975: 70). The identification labels in the jar have “Ruanda centrale J. Carl” and “Njaugenje-Nainsa, Ruanda Dr J. Carl” written on them respectively. The second jar contains two vials. One (MHNG-ARTO-18472) has a single specimen, a smaller vial containing dissected parts including gonopods and a handwritten label stating that the specimen had been studied by Elsa Krabbe. The other (MHNG-ARTO-18473) has seven specimens, four of them broken. The jar contains typewritten copies of the identification labels in the first jar. All of these specimens are part of type series. There is one ♀ paralectotype or syntype in the ZMUH (Weidner, 1960), three in the MCZL, two in the ZMHB (Moritz & Fischer, 1974) and one in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00179a). Lophostrephus kandti was designated as the type species of Bucinogonus Demange & Mauriès, 1975 in the original description of the genus.

The MHNG collection contains five specimens in alcohol in two vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-18497) contains one broken specimen and, separated by a cotton wool plug, dissected parts including gonopods. A label in the vial states that the specimen was selected as lectotype by O. Krauss. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-18498) contains four specimens, all broken, and a label stating that they were designated as paralectotypes by O. Krauss. The identification labels in the jar have “Biaramuli J. Carl” and “types Ost-Ussuwi Dr J. Carl” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are part of the type series. Krauss (1960: 179) states that he examined the ♂ lectotye and ♀ paralectotypes which is probably a valid lectotype designation.

Borneo. W. Morton. Unspecified number of ♂.
The MHNG collection contains three specimens in alcohol in two jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-15124) contains one specimen accompanied by a small vial with gonopods. The identification label has “Borneo, ex coll. Morton” written on it. There is a handwritten label indicating that in 1973 Hoffman intended to designate this specimen as the lectotype, but this designation does not seem to have been formally published and the specimen is therefore a syntype. An undated typewritten label states that Hoffman identified the specimen as Eurydirorhachis mortoni (Carl). The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-15125) contains two broken specimens. The identification label in the jar has “Borneo (W. Morton)” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. An undated typewritten label states that Hoffman identified this specimen as Eurydirorhachis mortoni (Carl).

Carl (1941b: 586) gave the locality data “Anaimalais: Kokumalai, bei Attakatti (1000 m), im lichten Busch, unter Steinen, exponiert und trocken, III.1927.” The MHNG collection contains 45 syntypes in alcohol in six vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-14465) contains one specimen broken into several pieces and a label with “Diopsiulus mulierosus Carl, ♂ type!” written on it. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-14466) contains one specimen with the anterior part of the body detached and a label with “Diopsiulus mulierosus Carl, 49 segmts., ♀vierge, Z. Anz. 117 p. 245 (3)” written on it. The third vial (MHNG-ARTO-14467) contains two specimens in smaller vials, both with the anterior of the body detached and labelled as “3e larve”. The fourth vial (MHNG-ARTO-14468) contains four broken specimens and a label with “Diopsiulus mulierosus Carl, types ♀, Attakatti, Zool. Anz. 214” written on it. The fifth vial (MHNG-ARTO-14469) contains 36 specimens, one of them with a pin running the length of the body, and a label with “Diopsiulus mulierosus Carl, juvs. Attakatti 3.III.27, xerophil.” written on it. The sixth vial (MHNG-ARTO-14470) contains one specimen without a label. No type was designated in the original description and so all of these specimens are syntypes. There are also seven microscope slide preparations which, while only labelled “Diopsiulus I” have “Attakatti” or “Attakatti, Kokumalai” written on the labels and are obviously part of the type series: 1) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14471) with gonopods and legs; 2) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14472) with a pair of ♀ third legs; 3) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14473) with antennae and ♂ first, second and third legs; 4) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14474) with the first, second and third legs of a juvenile ♂; 5) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14475) with the receptacula of a ♀; 6) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14476) of the gonopods of a nearly mature ♂; 7) a slide (MHNG-ARTO-14477) with the gonopods of an immature ♂.

Busch zwischen dem Kagera und dem Lager von Mabira in Südkaragwe. One ♂.
The MHNG collection contains one specimen in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-18478). The specimen is broken into several pieces and is accompanied by a vial containing gonopods. There is a locality label with “Bei Kagera-Mabira 5.xi.08” written on it and identification labels have “Karagwe Dr. J. Carl” and “Bei Kagera-Mabira” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimen is the holotype. The proper generic placement of this species is unknown (Enghoff et al., 2016).

multistriatus Carl, 1912c: 192-193 [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.

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.

Orizaba, Mexico. Unspecified series.
The MHNG collection contains fragments of at least two specimens in alcohol in two vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-18552) contains a smaller vial of fragments and has an old data label with “Orizaba, Mexique” written on it. There are two handwritten identification labels with “Acutangulus neglectus Carl” and “Strongylosoma coccineus S. et H. ♀” written on them respectively. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-18553) contains a smaller vial of fragments and an old data label which has once been secured on a pin and is largely illegible although “Orizaba” is just discernible. There are two handwritten identification labels with “Acutangulus neglectus Carl” and “Strongylosoma coccineus S. et H. ♂” written on them. These specimens are syntypes. Carl gave this name to the specimens referred to as Polydesmus coccineus var. by Saussure & Humbert (1872) which he recognised as a distinct species when revising the specimens.

The specimens upon which Carl based his description were identified as Spirobolus nietanus Saussure, 1860 by Saussure & Humbert (1872), but Carl (1919: 391) found that the posterior gonopods were distinct from those of the type specimen. The type specimens of S. neglectus could not be located, but might be mixed with fagments of S. nietanus in alcohol in the MHNG collection (see Hollier et al., 2017).

Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.
The MHNG collection contains 84 specimens in alcohol in two jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-18597) contains five broken specimens and a small vial with dissected parts including gonopods. The data label has “Palnis sup., Kodaikanal, IV.27” written on it. The identification label has “types” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. Although these specimens are the only ones to be labelled as types, there was no such designation in the original description and the whole series are syntypes.
The second jar contains eight vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-18599) contains five specimens, two of them badly broken. The data label has “Travancore, Vattavardai” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-18600) contains parts of at least 20 specimens, many of them broken. The data label has “Palnis sup., Kukkal-Shola” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The third vial (MHNG-ARTO-18601) contains parts of at least 20 specimens. The data label has “Palnis sup., Vandaravu, 6-10.IV.” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The forth vial (MHNG-ARTO-18602) contains one broken specimen. The data label has “Palnis sup., Maryian-Shola, 11.IV.” written on it, indicating that the specimen is a syntype. The fifth vial (MHNG-ARTO-18598) contains two specimens, one fragmented. The data label has “Palnis inf., Pumbarai, bosquet d'acacias” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The sixth vial (MHNG-ARTO-18603) contains parts of at least 15 specimens. The data label has “Palnis sup., Pumbarai pet. Shola 29.III.” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The seventh vial (MHNG-ARTO-18604) contains three specimens. The data label has “Palnis inf., Tandikudi 23.IV.” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The eighth vial (MHNG-ARTO-18605) contains 13 specimens. The data label has “Palnis inf., Maryland 10.IV. ♂” written on it, and although the date on the label does not match that given in the original description the specimens are almost certainly syntypes. Pseudosphaeroparia palnensis was explicitly designated as the type species of the genus Pseudosphaeroparia Carl, 1932 in the original description.

Sumatra (Genfer Museum). Two ♂ and one ♀.
The MHNG collection contains three specimens in alcohol in two vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-18572) contains two smaller vials holding broken parts of one specimen and a label with “Lectotype ♂” written in pencil. The second tube (MHNG-ARTO-18573) contains two smaller tubes, each holding a specimen, one of them broken. Both of the original identification labels in the jar have “Sumatra” written on them, and the specimens are the type series. There is also a microscope slide preparation of the gonopods of a type specimen (MHNG-ARTO-14537). A pencil written label in the jar states that Jeekel examined the specimens and selected the lectotype in 1976 but this designation has not been formally published and the specimens are syntypes.

Roembi-Mengkoka, S.O.-Celebes (coll. Elbert). Three ♂and one ♀.
The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14543). Both specimens have pins running part of the length of the body. The identification labels have “S.E. de Celebes cotypes ex coll. Elbert” and “Roembi-Mengkoja S.E. de Celebes cotypes ex coll. Elbert” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are part of the type series. The SMF collection contains five specimens in alcohol in two jars. One jar contains one ♂ and one ♀ (SMF 1710). The identification label has “SO-Celebes: Roembi-Mengkoka, J. Elbert, 1909” written on it, indicating that the specimens are part of the type series. The second jar contains one ♂with dissected gonopods and two ♀ (SMF 1697). The identification label has “SO-Celebes: Roembi-Mengko, Elbert, 1909”. It is likely that these specimens are those referred to by Carl after the original description of R. peninsularis expulsus and therefore not part of the type series.

The MHNG collection contains 22 specimens in alcohol in two vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-14393) contains eight specimens, one with a pin running the length of the body and two broken. The data label has “Palnis inf. Tigershola” written on it. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-14394) contains 14 specimens, three with pins running the length of the body and most of the rest broken. One specimen is separated in a smaller vial and a handwritten note indicates that this specimen was studied by Jeekel in 1976. There is also a small vial with gonopods and legs and a handwritten label reading “Gonopodes ♂ pattes 3, 4, 5”. The data label has “Palnis sup. Pumbarai” written on it. These specimens are all syntypes. There are further syntypes in the BMNH.

The MHNG collection contains six specimens in alcohol in two jars. One jar (MHNG-ARTO-18482) contains one specimen with a pin running the length of the body and a vial containing dissected parts including the head and anterior body rings and the gonopods. The identification labels in the jar are photocopies of the original labels in the second jar. They have “Camelia (Colombie) Coll. Fuhrmann” and “Colombie Coll. Fuhrmann” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimen is part of the type series. A handwritten note dated 1990 indicates that Hoffman intended to designate this specimen as the lectotype. The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-18483) contains five specimens, one with a pin running the length of the body and two broken. The identification labels in the jar have “Camelia (Colombie) Coll. Fuhrmann” and “Colombie Coll. Fuhrmann” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are part of the type series. The lectotype designation has apparently not been published and so all of these specimens are syntypes. There is another ♀ syntype (referred to as “Co-Typus” in the NMB catalogue) in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00214a).

Unspecified number of ♂ (♀ not mentioned explicitly).
The MHNG collection contains 53 specimens in alcohol in five jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-18501) contains the lectotype designated by Demange (1988: 557). The specimen is in fragments and incomplete. There is an original label in the jar with “Niakahanga (Karagwe) trockene Schamben” written on it, indicating that the specimen is part of the type series. The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-18502) contains one specimen. The data label has “Entebbe (Uganda)” written on it, indicating that it is part of the type series. The third jar (MHNG-ARTO-18503) contains two specimens and a vial holding dissected parts including gonopods. The photocopied identification label in the jar has “Niakahanga (Karagwe) trockene Schamben” written on it, indicating that the specimen is part of the type series. The fourth jar (MHNG-ARTO-18504) contains parts of at least 26 specimens, many of them broken and several reinforced with pins. One of the original identification labels in the jar has “types Karagwe central Dr J. Carl” written on it, indicating that the specimens are part of the type series. The fifth jar (MHNG-ARTO-18505) contains parts of at least 23 specimens, many broken and five reinforced with pins. There are also two vials with gonopods. The labels are not original but have the localities “Njarugenje”, “Njarugenje-Nainsa”, “Pori Kagera Mabira” and “Kirehe-S.O. Ruanda” typewritten on them, indicating that the specimens are part of the type series. There is a ♂ paralectotype in the ZMUH (Weidner, 1960), three paralectotypes (two ♂ and one ♀) in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00180a) and three paralectotypes in the MCZL.

The MHNG collection contains four specimens in alcohol in two vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-14307) contains three specimens, each with a pin running the length of the body, an identification label with “Bontorio, Celebes mér. ex coll. Sarasin [sic]” written on it and a label “species 1”. The other vial (MHNG-ARTO-14308) contains a single specimen with the label “species 2”. The identification label in the jar has “type” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. A handwritten note in the jar indicates that Jeekel examined the specimens in 1976 and concluded that they were not conspecific. There are 16 further syntypes in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00133a, NMB-DIPL-00134a and NMB-DIPL-00135a) under the name Pratinus socialis (Carl).

Unspecified number of ♂.
The MHNG collection contains seven specimens in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14346). The identification labels both have “Ponié, Wald 500 m, N. Caled., Sarasin & Roux” written on them. This corresponds to one of the many localities listed in the original description, but a footnote indicates that Carl based the species on an unspecified number of ♂ from Mt Canala and assumes that the others correspond, and so these specimens should probably not be considered syntypes. The specimens from the Mt Canala locality including several ♂ syntypes are in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00387e).

The MHNG collection contains nine specimens in alcohol, in four vials. The first vial (MHNG-ARTO-14283) contains five specimens; the adult and one of the four juveniles have a pin running the length of the body. The data label has “Mariyanshola ♂ type and juveniles” written on it. The second vial (MHNG-ARTO-14285) contains three specimens, two of them with a pin running the length of the body, and a label with “Kodaikanal ♀♀” written on it. The third vial (MHNG-ARTO-14286) contains one specimen and a label with “Vandaravu ♂” written on it. The fourth vial (MHNG-ARTO-14284), which is without labels, contains fragments including gonopods. The label in the first tube indicates that Carl considered the ♂ to be the holotype, but this was not stated in the original description and therefore all of these specimens are syntypes. Xiphidiogonus spinipleurus was explicitly designated as the type species of the genus Xiphidiogonus Carl, 1932 in the original description.

The MHNG collection contains 44 specimens in alcohol in three jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-18517) contains four specimens, two of them broken. The identification labels in the jar have “Bukoba Dr J. Carl” and “types Bukoba J. Carl” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-18518) contains 22 specimens, four of them broken. The identification labels in the jar have “Njarugenje-Niansa J. Carl” and “types Ruanda central J. Carl” written on them respectively, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. The third jar (MHNG-ARTO-18519) contains parts of at least 16 specimens, eight of them broken and some apparently incomplete. There is also a vial containing gonopods. The original identification label in the jar has “Biaramuli” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. An undated typewritten label in the jar states that Hoffman identified these specimens as Syndesmogenus spiralis (Carl). There are four syntypes in the ZMUH (Weidner, 1960) and four (two ♂, one ♀ and one damaged specimen referred to as “Paratypoide” in the NMB catalogue) in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00184a).

The MHNG collection contains one specimen in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14310). The specimen, which has a pin running the length of the body, is in one vial, and the gonopods are in a separate, smaller vial. The pencil-written identification label has “Posso-See – Tomini-Golf, Celebes centr. ex coll. Sarasin” written on it and the specimen is presumably a syntype. There are two syntypes (referred to as “Typen” in the NMB catalogue) in the NMB (inventory number NMB-DIPL-00145a), implying that the number of specimens given in the original description was incorrect.

Sumatra. W. Morton. One ♂.
No specimens found in the MHNG. There are two specimens collected by Morton in Sumatra in the MCZL under the name Thyropygus straminipes. One of them, which has a pin inserted behind the head and is broken into three parts and accompanied by a vial containing dissected parts, is almost certainly the holotype because as well as signs of having been studied it has the number of segments given in the original description. The other specimen, which is intact and shows no sign of study and has fewer segments than the specimen used for the original description, is not a type.

The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-14392). The specimens, each have a pin running the length of the body, are in a small vial and there are gonopods and legs in a smaller vial. The label in the large vial housing the two smaller ones has “Polydrepanum tamilum Carl, ♂♀ cotypes, ♂ type gonop., pattes 1, 2, 7, Madras Henderson leg.” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. Jeekel (1980a) says that the other syntypes “are obviously preserved” in the BMNH, and there are syntpes in their collection; for some reason he referred to the species as P. tamulum. Polydrepanum tamilum is the type species of the genus Polydrepanum Carl, 1932 by monotypy (Jeekel, 1971).

The MHNG collection contains five specimens in alcohol in two jars. The first jar (MHNG-ARTO-18574) contains a vial holding a broken specimen and a smaller vial holding dissected parts including gonopods. A typewritten label in the larger vial states that Hoffman selected this specimen as lectotype in 1972. The original identification label in the jar has “types! Kampala J. Carl” written on it, indicating that the specimen is part of the type series. An undated typewritten label states that Hoffman identified the specimen as Ectodesmus tesselatum (Carl). The second jar (MHNG-ARTO-18575) contains a vial holding four specimens, two with pins running the length of the body. An original identification label in the tube has “Marsch bei Kampala” written on it, indicating that the specimens are part of the type series. A typewritten label in the jar states that Hoffman selected these specimens as “lectoparatypes” in 1972. The identification label in the jar has “Selon Hoffman Paradoxosomatidae Ectodesmus tesselatum (Carl)” typewritten on it. The lectotype designation does not seem to have been formally published and all of these specimens are therefore syntypes. There are two syntypes in the ZMUH (Weidner, 1960) and two in the MCZL.

Sumatra; Palembang (Dr. Volz); Indragiri (G. Schneider); Lahat (Museum Genf). Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.
The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol (MHNG-ARTO-18450). The specimens are accompanied by a vial containing telopods. One of the identification labels in the jar has “♂ Sumatra, Coll. W. Volz” written on it, indicating that the specimens are syntypes. Carl's original label does not give a locality, and it is possible that these specimens are really those listed as deposited in the MHNG in the original description and not specimens collected by Volz. The other syntypes are presumably in the NMBE.

Carl (1902) gave a description and illustrated the gonopod of some very much smaller specimens noted by Saussure & Humbert (1872) among those they identified as S. mexicanus (Saussure, 1859). Attems recognised that they represented a distinct species and named them Sphaeriodesmus saussurei Attems, 1899, apparently without having seen the specimens himself. The four syntypes are in the MHNG collection (MHNG-ARTO-18243 to MHNG-ARTO-18246). The MHNG collection also contains a number of specimens placed under names that were never published.
