Type specimens — Male neotype (AMNH) collected by V. Roth, 
19 July 1962, 2 mi (3.2 km) N Ft. Ross, along California highway 
1, ca. 15.3 mi (24.5 km) N Bodega Bay, Sonoma County, California. 
Citing a letter from R. L. Hoffman, Loomis (1971:155) reported 
that the type, which lacked the anterior end, was at the Academy 
of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia (ANSP), but extensive searches in 
June 1995 by the entomology collection manager failed to locate it. 
The specimen therefore appears to be lost, and neotype designation 
is needed to stabilize the name, necessitating library research on the 
collector, the entomologist and medical doctor, John Lawrence LeConte, 
and the origin of the confusion between Georgia and California. 
In the original accounts, Wood (1864, 1865) indicated uncertainty 
about the type locality by stating that he believed it to be the mountains 
of Georgia. That the site was probably in California is shown by 
unquestionable California material, collected by LeConte, that incorrectly 
carries a Georgia label. For example, Chamberlin (1947) reported several 
ANSP males of the California genus Xystocheir Cook (Polydesmida: 
Xystodesmidae) that were taken by Leconte and erroneously labeled 
“Georgia.” Wood (1867) explained that LeConte collected in both 
Georgia and California, that he presented all of his material to the 
ANSP, but that there was only one bottle, labeled Georgia. Thus, 
Wood originally concluded that the California specimens were missing,
