Specimen set with left wings roughly spread and right wings folded; most of both antennae, both front legs, the last tarsal segment of both middle legs and both hind legs are lost. The wings are rather tattered and the abdomen somewhat shrivelled. The locality label of the ♂ specimen in the BMNH illustrated as a possible syntype on OSF shows that it was collected much later than the publication of the description [Höge collected for Godman and Salvin in the 1870s or 1880s (Papavero & Ibáñez-Bernal, 2003)] and is therefore not part of the type series. Box E19.

Hollier 2014” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen lacks most of both antennae, the claws of the left front and left middle leg and the last tarsal segment of the left hind leg. It is not clear why Hubbell considered one of these specimens to be the holotype although there is another with the same data. The specimen that fits best with the measurements given in the original description is that labelled “Chili” and since this small printed label is of the type used by Saussure for the material collected on his Mexico expedition, this specimen is the most probable syntype.

One possible syntype, an immature ♀ with labels: “Jaquetia hospodar Sauss.” handwritten on blue paper]; “Jaquetia hospodar Sss.” [handwritten on blue paper]; “Possible syntype of J. hospodar Sauss. Hollier 2012” [handwritten on red paper]. The species name label in the insect box has the locality “Roumanie” handwritten in the lower left corner. This species was described from immature specimens and so the two adult specimens placed under this name in the MHNG cannot be syntypes; unlike the immature specimen in the MHNG they have only one identification label. Kis & Peschev (1967: 106) redescribed the species on the basis of adults reared from nymphs captured at the type locality. There are further syntypes in the ZMHB (images on OSF). Box B2.

There are no specimens under this name in the MHNG. The single ♂ specimen identified as a syntype of Cocconotus castus Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1895 (Hollier & Maehr, 2012; OSF), which was described on the basis of an unspecified number of ♂ specimens from Mexico in the MHNG, is possibly a syntype of A. imhoffiana which had lost any identification label before Brunner saw the material, but there is no way to verify this. Images on OSF. Box E25.

The last tarsal segment of the right front leg, the entire left middle leg and part of the tibia and the tarsi of the left hind leg are missing. The femora and tibiae of the hind legs have been folded, presumably when the specimen was fresh, to facilitate transport. There are also two immature specimens with the same data which could be considered syntypes. Box G3.

Jurinei Sauss. ♂ Amérique?” [handwritten on white paper]; “Corycus Jurinei Sauss.” [handwritten on pink paper]; “Holotypus” [printed on red card]. The species name label in the insect box has a green margin, indicating that Saussure had thought the species was Central or South American; the distribution is actually West African, as the pink identification label suggests. Specimen set with wings roughly folded; both antennae, the tibia and tarsi of the left front leg and the entirety of the other legs are lost. There is insect feeding damage to much of the body. It seems highly likely that the species was based on a single specimen of uncertain locality and that the holotype label is correct. Images on OSF. Box D8.

Mexico. Unspecified.

A ♂ and a ♀ specimen that were identified as syntypes of Scudderia furculata Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878 (Hollier & Maehr, 2012; OSF) are probably also syntypes of P. mexicana Saussure, the latter having been erroneously placed as a junior synonym of the former by Saussure & Pictet (1897: 331). A ♂ with labels: “Mexique, Sumichrast” [handwritten on white paper]; “furculata Br.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Syntypus” [printed on red paper]; “Probably a syntype of Phaneroptera mexicana Sauss. Hollier 2012” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded; most of the left and the entire right antenna are missing, both front legs lack tibiae and tarsi and both hind legs are missing.

Orophus mexicanus (Saussure, 1859)

mexicanum Saussure, 1859: 208 [Xiphidium].

Mexico. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

Four ♂ and three ♀ syntypes. A ♂ with labels: “Mexique Sumichrast” [hand written on white paper]; “Xiphid. mexicanum Sss. ♂ type n^o 74” [handwritten on pale green paper, the numerals “74” are written over “22”]; “Xiphidium mexicanum Sauss.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Syntypus” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded; the right hind leg is missing. The left hind leg is detached and glued to a card mount on the original pin. A ♂ with labels: “Mexique Sumichrast” [hand written on white paper]; “Xiphidium mexicanum Sss 71” [handwritten on pale green paper]; “Xiphidium mexicanum Sauss.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Syntypus” [printed on red paper].

Specimen set with wings folded; the last tarsal segment of the left hind leg is missing. A ♂ with labels: “Orizaba Sumichrast” [handwritten on white paper]; “1,” [handwritten on a small square of white card]; “Xiphidium mexicanum Sauss.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Syntypus” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded. A ♀ with labels: “Mirador” [handwritten on white card]; “Xiphidium mexicanum Sss ♀ type n^o 71” [handwritten on pale green paper, the numerals “71” being written over “22”]; “Xiphidium mexicanum Sauss.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Syntypus” [printed on red paper]. The last tarsal segment of both front legs, the last tarsal segment of the left middle leg, the entire right middle and right hind leg and the last tarsal segment of the left hind leg are lost. There is insect feeding damage to the abdomen. A ♀ with labels: “Oaxaca” [handwritten on white card]; “Xiphidium mexicanum Sss. n^o 25 71” [handwritten on pale green paper]; “Xiphidium mexicanum Sauss.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Syntypus” [printed on red paper]. The right antenna, the left middle leg and part of the tibia and the tarsi of the right hind leg are lost. There is insect feeding damage to the abdomen and the hind legs. A ♀ with labels: “Oaxaca” [handwritten on white card]; “Xiphidium mexicanum Sauss.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Syntypus” [printed on red paper]. Most of both antennae, the last tarsal segment of the left hind leg and the entire right hind leg are missing. There are three juvenile specimens with similar locality labels that might be considered syntypes. The pale green labels appear to be in Saussure's own handwriting. When X. mexicanum was placed in the genus Conocephalus it became a homonym of C. mexicanum Saussure, 1859 and the latter name was conserved by Rehn & Hebard (1915: 250), while X. mexicanum was replaced by an available junior synonym. Box F23.

Replacement name Conocephalus ictus (Scudder, 1875)

mexicanus Saussure, 1859: 208 [Conocephalus].

Mexico. Unspecified number of ♂.

There are no ♂ specimens placed under this name in the MHNG, and the two ♀ specimens with labels that appear to be roughly contemporaneous with the description are much bigger than the measurements given therein. The whereabouts of the type material is unknown. Box F7.

Neoconocephalus mexicanus (Saussure, 1859)

mexicanus Saussure, 1859: 212 [Daihinia].

Mexico. Unspecified.

One ♂ and one ♀, both syntypes. A ♂ with labels: “Mirador” [handwritten on a strip of white card]; “Glaphyrosoma mexicanum Sauss” [handwritten on green paper]; “Holotypus” [printed on red card]; “Unspecified series; treat as syntype. Hollier 2014” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen lacks both antennae, the tarsi of the left front leg, the last tarsal segment of the right front leg, the tarsi of the left middle leg and the tarsi of the right hind leg. The left hind leg is detached and secured through the femur on a separate pin. A ♀ with labels: “Potrero, Sumichrast” [handwritten on whitish paper]; “Glaphyrosoma mexicanum Sauss ♀” [handwritten on green paper]; “Probable syntype of G. mexicanum Sauss. Hollier 2014” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen lacks most of both antennae, the last tarsal segment of the right front leg, the tarsi of the right middle leg and the entire left hind leg. Mirador was one of the localities visited by Saussure and Sumichrast on Saussure's Mexico expedition (Hollier & Hollier, 2012). There are further syntypes in the SMNS (Holstein & Ingrish, 2004), and it seems likely that the “Boleros” of the data labels of those specimens is a mis-transcription of Potrero, where Sumichrast collected many specimens. Box O5. Glaphyrosoma mexicanum (Saussure, 1859)

mexicanus Saussure, 1859: 209 [Schoenobates].

Mexico. Unspecified number of ♂.

One possible syntype, a ♂ with labels: “Podetus mexicanus Sss Mexic T.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Schoenobates mexicanus Sauss.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Musée de Genève N^o 112” [numerals handwritten on printed white label]; “Lectotypus, should be designated, T H Hubbell” [handwritten on red card with “Lectotypus” printed]. The left antenna, most of the right antenna, the tibia and tarsi of both front legs, the tibia and tarsi of the left middle leg, the last tarsal segment of the right middle leg and the claws of the right hind leg are missing. The measurements do not correspond with those given in the description. There is a ♀ labelled as “Allotypus” by Hubbell, but only the ♂ was mentioned in the original description and so the identification of this specimen as a syntype is doubtful. Two juvenile ♂labelled “Mexique, Orizaba, Sumichrast” may also be considered syntypes but they appear to belong to a series which includes juvenile ♀ specimens. Box O4. Anabropsis mexicana mexicana (Saussure, 1859)

mexicanus Saussure, 1859: 210 [Stenopelmatus].

rhombifolia Saussure, 1859: 204 [Phylloptera].

[No locality]. Unspecified number of ♂.

There are no specimens under this name in the MHNG. In the original publication the species name is listed but the description is simply “Viridis” and, given that some of the other species are also described as “viridis,” the name could be considered a nomen nudum. This species was mistakenly synonymised with Microcentrum laurifolium L. by Brunner von Wattenwyl (1878: 339) but the specimens placed under that name in the MHNG are either ♀ or collected after the publication of the description and therefore not identifiable as syntypes of M. rhombifolium Saussure. Box B35.

Microcentrum rhombifolium (Saussure, 1859)

salicifolia Saussure, 1859: 204 [Phylloptera].

Carolina. Unspecified number of ♂.

There are no specimens under this name in the MHNG collections. A ♂ specimen without a locality label placed under the name Microcentrum retinervis (Burmeister) could be a syntype of Phylloptera salicifolia but this cannot be verified. Box B35.

Conocephalus saltator (Saussure, 1859)

salvifolia Saussure, 1859: 204-205 [Phylloptera].

Bahia. Unspecified number of ♀.

There are no specimens placed under this name in the MHNG. There are two possible ♀ syntypes of P. salvifolia Saussure present under the name Microcentrum lanceolatum (Burmeister), although the locality labels give “Pernamb. Brésil” rather than “Bahia”. A ♀with labels: “2 25 Pernamb., Brésil, M De Lessert” [handwritten on ruled white card]; “TYPE BRUNN” [printed on a strip of white card]; “Microcentrum lanceolatum Burm.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Possible syntype of Phylloptera salvifolia Sauss. Hollier 2012” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded; the right antenna, the claws of the left front leg, the tarsi of the right front leg and the claws of the left hind leg are missing. The specimen has been re-pinned; the hole left by the original pin can be seen on the prothorax. A ♀ with labels: “2 25 Pernamb., Brésil, M De Lessert” [handwritten on ruled white card]; “TYPE BRUNN” [printed on a strip of white card]; “Microcentrum lanceolatum Burm.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Geneva” [typewritten on a strip of yellow paper]; “Possible syntype of Phylloptera salvifolia Sauss.

sartorianus Saussure, 1859: 211 [Stenopelmatus].

Mexico. Unspecified number of ♀.

One ♀ syntype with labels: “Anostosoma Sartorii Sauss, ♀ Tuxtla, M. H. S.” [handwritten on whitish paper]; “71” [handwritten on green paper]; “Stenopelmatus sartorianus Sauss.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Holotypus, Stenopelmatus sartorianus Saussure” [handwritten by Hubbell on red card with “Holotypus” printed]. Specimen set with right wings spread and left wings folded; both antennae, the last tarsal segment of the right front leg and the last tarsal segment of the right hind leg are missing. The right middle leg, which lacks the tarsi, is detached and glued along with some dissected mouthparts to a card mount on the original pin. There is another specimen from Tuxtla but this is a ♂ while the original description only treats ♀ characters. The other specimens standing under this name in the MHNG collection were collected after the original description and are therefore not types. Box O1.

Two possible syntypes, both ♀. A ♀ with labels: “Syntechna tarasca Sauss.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Holotypus Phylloptera tarasca Sauss.” [handwritten by Hubbell on red card with “Holotypus” printed]; “Type series unspecified; treat as syntype. Hollier 2012” [handwritten on red paper]. The species name label in the insect box has the locality “Amer. cent.” handwritten in the lower left corner. Specimen set with wings folded; the last tarsal segment of the left front leg and the last tarsal segment of the right middle leg are lost. A ♀ with labels: “Genas, Mexique” [handwritten on white paper]; “Tarasca Sss.” [handwritten on a strip of green paper]; “Syntechna” [handwritten on a strip of white paper]; “TYPE BRUNN” [printed on strip of white paper]; “Possible syntype of Phylloptera tarasca Sauss.

It has now been placed in the main collection. Images on OSF. Boxes B36 & B37. Syntechna tarasca (Saussure, 1859)

tartara Saussure, 1898a: 226, 227-228 [Jaquetia]. Turkestania. Unspecified number of ♂ and ♀.

One ♂ and one ♀, both syntypes. A ♂ with labels: “TURKEST:” [printed on a strip of white paper]; “Jaquetia tartara Sss.” [handwritten on blue paper]; “Syntypus” [printed on red paper]. Both antennae and the left hind leg are missing. A ♀ with labels: “TURKEST:” [printed on a strip of white paper]; “Jaquetia tartara Sss.” [handwritten on blue paper]; “Syntypus” [printed on red paper]. Most of both antennae are missing. Bey-Bienko (1954) considered the locality to be erroneous, the species being known only from Western Asia. Box B2.

The right middle leg is detached and glued to a card mount on the original pin. There is a ♀ specimen, erroneously referred to as the holotype on OSF, in the MNHN that may be a syntype. Box E18.

Gongrocnemis tolteca (Saussure, 1859)

tolteca Saussure, 1861: 130 [Anostostoma].

Mexico, Mons Orizaba (leg. Sallé). Unspecified.

Three ♀ syntypes. A ♀ with labels: “Mexiq.” [printed on white card]; “tolteca, tête par devant grossie” [handwritten on bluish paper]; “40” [handwritten on green paper]; “Stenopelmat. talpa Sauss” [handwritten on green paper]; “Lectotypus, Anostostoma tolteca Sauss. THH” [handwritten by Hubbell on red card with “Lectotypus” printed]. Most of the left antenna, the claws of the right middle leg and the last tarsal segment of the right hind leg are lost. A ♀ with labels: “Sta Cruz, Myoapan, près Orizaba, region des pins” [handwritten on white paper]; “87” [handwritten on a square of green paper]; “tolteca Sauss” [handwritten on a strip of green card]; “Stenopelmatus talpa Sauss [sic]” [handwritten on green paper]; “Paratypoid, Anostostoma tolteca Sauss.

A ♀ with labels: “Anostostoma tolteca Sauss.” [handwritten on white paper]; “86” [handwritten on a square of green paper]; “Stenopelmatus talpa Sauss [sic]” [handwritten on green paper]; “Paratypoid, Anostostoma tolteca Sauss. THH” [handwritten by Hubbell on red card with “Paratypoid” printed]. Specimen lacks the last tarsal segment of the right hind leg. There is also a juvenile specimen labelled as a “Paratypoid” by Hubbell, but this was collected at Cordoba by Saussure and it is probably not a syntype. Box O1.

Anostostoma tolteca Saussure, 1861

tolteca Saussure, 1859: 201-202 [Phaneroptera].

Mexico. Unspecified number of ♂.

Two ♂ syntypes. A ♂ with labels: “Potrero, Sumichrast” [handwritten on white paper]; “tolteca Sss.” [handwritten on green paper]; “TYPE BRUNN” [printed on a strip of white paper]; “Allotypus Hormilia tolteca Sauss. THH” [handwritten by Hubbell on red card with “Allotypus” printed]; “Syntypus” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded; most of both antennae is missing. A ♂ with labels: “Mexique, Sumichrast” [handwritten on white paper]; “tolteca Sss.” [handwritten on green paper]; “TYPE BRUNN” [printed on a strip of white paper]; “Syntypus” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded; the left antenna and most of the right antenna and both middle legs are lost. A ♂ specimen without a locality label but with the “tolteca Sss” and “TYPE BRUNN” labels may also be a syntype. Hubbell labelled a ♀ specimen placed under this name as the holotype, but this is clearly incorrect because the locality label shows that the specimen was collected after the publication of the description [Schumann collected for Godman and Salvin in the 1870s or 1880s (Papavero & Ibáñez-Bernal, 2003)] and the original description does not mention the ♀ or designate a holotype. Images on OSF. Box B20.

Insara tolteca (Saussure, 1859)

tolteca Saussure, 1859: 203 [Phylloptera].

Mexico. Unspecified number of ♀.

One possible syntype, a ♂ with labels: “Potrero Sumichrast” [handwritten on white paper]; “Stilpnochlora tolteca, Sauss.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Geneva” [typewritten on a strip of yellow paper]; “Probably syntype of tolteca. Emsley 1969” [handwritten in pencil on white card]; Stilpnochlora thoracica (Serville, 1831, Det. M. G. Emsley, 1969” [printed on white card]. Specimen set with left wings spread and right wings folded; the left front leg, the tarsi of the right front leg, the left middle leg and both hind legs are lost. Although Emsley identified this specimen as a possible syntype, only the ♀ is explicitly mentioned in the description and it is probably not part of the type series. Images on OSF. Box B25.

totonaca Saussure, 1859: 204 [Phylloptera].

Mexico. Unspecified number of ♂.

There are no specimens under this name in the MHNG collection. This species was mistakenly synonymised with Microcentrum retinervis (Burmeister, 1838) by Brunner von Wattenwyl (1878: 339) and a ♂ specimen without a locality label placed under the latter name could be a syntype of M. totonacum Saussure, but this cannot be verified. Box B35.
