simplex Humbert, 1865: 34 -35, pl. 3, fig. 14 [ Polydesmus ( Strongylosoma) ].

Pundel-Oya Valley. Unspecified series.

Carl (1932) gave a new illustration of the gonopod, without stating that it came from the type. The MHNG collection contains the gonopod studied by Carl, stored in alcohol under the name Orthomorpha ( Kalorthomorpha) simplex . An undated label in the jar indicates that Hoffman identified these as part of the type; given that the type series was undefined, it is a syntype. The generic placement follows de Zoysa et al. (2016).
