Eucriotettix tricarinatus ( Bolívar, 1887 )

Hollier, John, 2016, The type specimens of Orthoptera (Insecta) species described by Ignacio Bolívar and deposited in the Muséum d’histoire naturelle de Genève, Revue suisse de Zoologie 123 (1), pp. 21-33 : 28

tricarinatus Bolívar, 1887: 224 [Criotettix].

Ceylan (Humbert, Musée de Genève et ma collection). Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

Lectotype ♂, designated by Wagan & Kevan (1992: 181), with labels: “41 Criotettix tricarinatus, Bolivar det.” [handwritten on white paper]; “ Criotettix tricarinatus Bolivar ” [handwritten on yellow paper]; “Syntypus” [printed on red paper]. The right antenna, the right middle leg and both hind legs are missing. The lectotype designation refers to “the ♂ in Geneva” but the MHNG collection has a series of seven ♂ and four ♀ collected by Humbert in Sri Lanka. Only one of each sex has a Bolivar identification label however, and the lectotype designation presumably means the ♂ specimen with this label. Box Q3.
