The MHNG collection contains one specimen in alcohol under the name Geophilus mexicanus. The specimen and labels are in a large tube, which contains two smaller vials containing body parts. Both of the identification labels state that the specimen is a type, one gives the locality as “ Mexique ” the other as “ Cordova ”. There is also a label written by Crabill in 1960 identifying the specimen as the holotype, but because the type series was unspecified it should be considered a syntype.

Abstract: The early centipede collection of the Muséum d’histoire naturelle de Genève was largely founded on the specimens collected by Aloïs Humbert and Henri de Saussure on their expeditions to Sri Lanka and Mexico respectively. It was further enriched by material from two expeditions to Madagascar studied by Saussure and Leo Zehntner. The three men described a total of 56 species. The names of these species are listed alphabetically, the location of the type material is discussed and the current nomenclatural combination is given.
