A ♀ with labels: “VOELTZKOW, nossi be” [printed on white paper with “nossi be” handwritten]; “ Gryllus ignobilis Sss var.” [handwritten on pink paper]; “Possible syntype of ignobilis pallida Sauss., Hollier 2011 ” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded; the left antenna, the tarsi of the left middle leg and the last tarsal segment of the right hind leg are missing. A ♀ with labels: “nossibe [sic]” [handwritten on pink paper]; “VOELTZKOW” [printed on white paper]; “ Gryllus ignobilis Sss var.” [handwritten on pink paper]; “Possible syntype of ignobilis pallida Sauss., Hollier 2011 ” [handwritten on red paper].
