Hollier, John & Maehr, Michael, D., 2012, An annotated catalogue of the type material of Orthoptera (Insecta) described by Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl deposited in the Muséum d’histoire naturelle in Geneva, Revue suisse de Zoologie 119 (1), pp. 27-75 : 40

distincta Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1888: 332 [ Gryllacris ].

Unknown (Mus. Genav.). Unspecified number of ♀ .

One ♀ syntype with labels: “354” [handwritten on whitish paper]; “30” [handwritten on white card]; “ Gryllacris distincta ♀ Brunn.” [handwritten on lilac paper]; “ Musée de Genève , No 5” [number handwritten on white, printed card]; “ Holotypus ” [printed on red card]. The purple bordered species name label in the insect box has the locality “ Nlle Hollande” (i.e. Australia) written in the lower left corner. Most of both antennae and the right hind leg are missing. The left middle leg lacks the tarsi. There is insect feeding damage to the left wings and the thorax. The description did not give the provenance of the specimen, and it is not clear why Australia was added to the species name label. Since the type material was without a locality, it is likely that the holotype label is justified. Box N 1 .
