Saussure & Zehntner (1902: 312 - 313) gave a description and the locality information “ Madagascar, F. Sikora (Musée de Genève). ” The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol under the name Cormocephalus crudelis. There is no data label, but the identification labels in the jar have “ Madagascar ” written on them and there is no reason to suppose that they are not syntypes.

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.
