Afrocriotettix nigellus

nigellus Bolívar, 1887: 225 [Criotettix]. Gabon (Musée de Genève et ma coll.) More than one ♂. The MHNG collection has a ♂ and two ♀ specimens under this name. The locality on the labels affixed to the specimens is “Camerun”, although the species name label in the insect box has “ Gabon ” handwritten in the lower left corner. The ♂ has a label reading “ Criotettix nigellus Bol. Camerun” in a handwriting similar to those of other Bolivar labels, and may be a paralectotype, although it is more likely that the series was identified by Bolivar at a later date than that he mistook the provenance of his types. The ♂ lectotype, designated by Paris (1994: 244), is in the MNMS. Box Q 3.
