John Hollier, Edmund Schiller & Nesrine Akkari, 2017, An annotated list of the Diplopoda described by Aloïs Humbert alone and with Henri de Saussure, and the Diplopoda from Saussure’s Mexico expedition, Revue suisse de Zoologie 124 (2), pp. 203-224 : 216

paraensis Humbert& Saussure, 1870: 176 [ Spirostreptus ].

Para. Unspecified series.

Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription of both sexes. No specimens found in the MHNG. The acquisitions register of the NHMW lists a single specimen (Acquisition number 1866.I.38) but no specimen can be located in the collection; the type material appears to be lost. Hoffman (1999: 36) considered that the original placement of this species as a member of the genus Spirostreptus rather than Spirobolus was probably a lapsus calami.
