This name was printed without a word of description, comparison, or indication, and is a nomen nudum. Possibly it was a manuscript name intended by COOK for either Coromus laevis or C. diaphorus and later changed without being stricken from his manuscript. It is not included in the list of diplopod types
in the Serlin Museum compiled by MORITZ & FISCHER (1978) although Cook implied that material should be there.
