Oxystethus geniculatus Bolívar, 1898

Oxystethus geniculatus Bolívar, 1898: 142.

One syntype is deposited in NMPC (ex coll. N. M. Kheil):

SYNTYPE (♂ with extended right wings): ‘ Oxystethus / sp. nov. / Borneo – Kutjing [hw, orange label] // SYNTYPE

/ OXYSTETHUS / geniculatus Bolívar, 1898 / label attached by NMP [p, red label]’.

Current status. Valid species: Sacculiphallus geniculatus (Bolívar, 1898).

Comments. The above specimen was found among other unsorted Orthoptera from N. M. Kheil’s collection. Although it does not bear the species name, it is the only specimen in the collection identified as belonging to the genus Oxystethus Redtenbacher, 1891, moreover with the indication that it represents a new species. Its locality data agree with those listed in the original description, and it also corresponds well with the original description in the size of all body parts. We hence consider the specimen a syntype of O. geniculatus.
