TYPE MATERIAL. — MNHN.14.27. Lectotype ♀ (here designated) marked on the coverslip with an arrow and one ♀ paralectotype, both dry mounted and crushed under the coverslip, labeled in Risbec’s handwriting: “ Anastatus gratidiae / Risbec/ ex ω. Phasmidae / 11.1.1944 / Bambey.” and “ Paralectotype; Lectotype [red labels]; LECTOTYPE / Anastatus / gratidiae Risbec / Det. Fusu L. 2011”.

REMARKS

The uncontorted female on slide MNHN.14.27 is designated as lectotype. The female on slide ORSTOM.2.14, although mentioned by Risbec (1951a), does not fit the original description and seems to be a female of A. apantelesi .
