A ♂ with labels: “ Gr. littoreus Bol., Talavera Bolivar ” [handwritten on white paper]; “ Gryllodes littoreus Boliv. ” [handwritten on blue paper]; “Possible syntype Hollier 2014” [handwritten on red paper].

A ♂ with labels: “ Gr. littoreus Bol., Talavera Bolivar ” [handwritten on white paper]; “ Gryllodes littoreus Boliv. ” [handwritten on blue paper]; “Possible syntype Hollier 2014” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded. Most of the right antenna is missing. A ♂ with labels: “ Gryllodes littoreus Bol. ♂ Talavera Bolivar” [handwritten on white paper]; “ Gryllodes littoreus Boliv. ” [handwritten on blue paper]; “ Eugryllodes littoralis (Bol.) [sic] Det. R. L. Randell, 1963” [handwritten on white card with “Det. R. L. Randell, 19” printed]; “Possible syntype Hollier 2014” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded. Both antennae and the right hind leg are missing. A ♀ with labels: “ Gryllodes littoreus Bol. ♀ Talavera Bolivar” [handwritten on white paper]; “ Gryllodes littoreus Boliv. ” [handwritten on blue paper]; “Possible syntype Hollier 2014” [handwritten on red paper]. The left hind leg is missing. Although it is clear from the original description that Bolivar collected many examples, it is known that he also collected this species at the type locality after the publication of the description (see Holstein & Ingrisch, 2004: 4) and so the specimens cannot be definitely identified as syntypes. There are 11 further syntypes in the MNMS (Paris, 1994). Box A14.

Eugryllodes littoreus (Bolívar, 1885).
