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 : 4-5

adelphus Redtenbacher, 1891: 438 [ Aethiomerus ].

Tamatave, Madagascar (Mus. Hamburg). Unspecified number of ♁.

A ♀ specimen with labels: “Saussure, Madagasc.” [printed on white paper]; “ Aethiomerus adelphus Redt. ♀ ” [handwritten on pink paper] is illustrated on OSF as a possible type by P. Naskrecki. There are seven specimens (all ♀) with these labels in the collection, but MHNG is not mentioned as a depository in the original description, and the ♀ characters were not treated. The collection contains many specimens with this printed locality label, and it is unlikely that these specimens are part of the type series. Images of OSF. Box F15.
