LOST OR DESTROYED TYPE MATERIAL
Material of 12 species or subspecies is either lost or was destroyed. Most specimens were lost to fire during an air raid with incendiary bombs in 1943. Most specimens were moved to underground tunnels in time but some could not be saved from destruction. Four holotypes from the Godeffroy collection were already missing before an inventory in 1938. Of these species, seven represent valid taxa and five are junior synonyms.
Order Geophilomorpha Pocock, 1896
