Hollier, John, 2012, An annotated catalogue of the type material of the Orthoptera (Insecta) species described by Josef Redtenbacher deposited in the collections of the Muséum d’histoire naturelle de Genève, Revue suisse de Zoologie 119 (1), pp. 3-25 : 10

cornutus Redtenbacher, 1891: 411 [ Conocephalus ].

Aru-Inseln; Amboina (coll. Brunner & k.k. Hofmuseum Wien); Key-Inseln (coll. Brunner); Neu-Guinae (coll. Dohrn); Duke of York-Insel (Mus. Genf); Australien (Le Gouillou); Mioko (Mus. Hamburg). More than one ♁ and ♀ (measurements given as range) .

One ♀ syntype with labels: “603 33, 16622 Mus, Gdfr. in litt., Duke of York Islands” [handwritten on a strip of white paper]; “ Conocephalus cornutus Redtb. ” [handwritten on yellow paper]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded; the front right and both middle legs lack two tarsal segments and most of both antennae are missing. A ♁ specimen with labels: “Amboine” [printed on strip of yellow paper]; “Conoc. cornutus Rt. ♁” [handwritten on yellow paper] is illustrated on OSF as a possible syntype. There is also a ♀ with the same labels (apart from the gender) in the MHNG collection. It is likely that these specimens were collected on Pictet and Bedot’s MHNG expedition to the “Malay Archipelago” in 1890-1891 (which included intensive sampling in Amboina) and not part of the type series, since although specimens from Amboina is mentioned in the original description, they were not in the MHNG.
