If I am interpreting the question correctly as seeking the whereabouts of
Langerhans Madeiran worms then information relevant to this was
discovered and presented by Phyllis Knight-Jones in the e-mail newsletter
Chaetozone-5 of Nov94.
The person to ask if any material of this particular species is available is Dr
Helmut Sattmann, <Helmut.Sattmann at nhm-wien.ac.at>, Museum of
Natural History Vienna.
A transcription of the Langerhans handwritten inventory sent to Phyllis by
the Museum was later made by Mary Petersen. I don't have my copy
handy at present.

The first two used Leptonereis. Laonereis Hartman, 1945, came later.
