Pseudorhynchus raggei nomen novum is a replaced name for Pseudorhynchus robustus Ragge, 1969 (types from Sierra Leone), which results to be a junior primary homonym of Pseudorhynchus robustus Willemse, 1953 (types from Solomon Is., Papuasia). In his revision of the genus Pseudorhynchus , the English orthopterist Ragge (1969) inadvertently described P. robustus , a preoccupied name, for a species occurring widely in West and Central Africa. Pseudorhynchus raggei nomen novum is dedicated to the distinguished David Ragge, author of the monograph on Pseudorhynchus and many other excellent papers on tropical African Tettigoniidae and Orthoptera bioacoustics.
