INTRODUCTION
Alphonse Pictet (1838-1903) came from a family with strong links to the
Geneva Natural History Museum (MHNG). His father, François-Jules Pictet (1809-
1872), was professor of Zoology in Geneva for nearly thirty years and can be consi -
dered the “godfather” of the MHNG, while his brother Edouard Pictet (1835-1879)
made some important contributions to the Museum’s Neuroptera collections (Hollier,
2007). In his studies of the Orthoptera Alphonse Pictet collaborated with Henri de
Saussure (1829-1905), another of François-Jules Pictet’s pupils and one of the leading
authorities on the Orthopteroid insects at that time. Four papers (Pictet 1888; Pictet &
Saussure, 1887, 1891, 1892) dealt primarily with material in the Museum or Saussure’s
collections (the latter were officially donated to the MHNG in 1903, but the distinction
between the two collections was not always made clear in the literature before that).
Their collaboration on the first Orthoptera volume of the Biologia Centrali-American
(BCA) (Saussure & Pictet, 1897, 1898) was a very different project. The BCA was an
encyclopedia of the natural history of Mexico and Central America published in 215
parts in London by the editors Frederick DuCane Godman and Osbert Salvin (of the
British Museum (Natural History)). The work was largely based on material collected
specifically for the project by naturalists such as Herbert H. Smith (1851-1919), who
went on to become curator of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History (Philadelphia,
USA), and George C. Champion (1851-1927) who also acted as managing editor for

the series. Unless otherwise stated in the description, the assumption is that the type
material of the species described in the BCA is in the Natural History Museum in
London (BMNH).
The MHNG collection was revised by Saussure, and his successor Johann Carl
(see Hollier, 2010), and the material has been studied by many specialists, so that it is
not always possible to tell who attached type labels to the specimens. The Neotropical
material was examined by Carlos Carbonell (Montivedeo, Uruguay), who labelled
many specimens as holotypes or “hololectoypes” although many of these have not
been officially designated. Poitr Naskrecki (Harvard, USA) examined and photo -
graphed many of the Tettigonioidea types and put the images on OSF.
Pictet described 193 species, mainly in collaboration with Saussure. Type
material of 158 of these has been identified in the collection of the Geneva Natural
History Museum (MHNG). Presumed types of two further species have been on loan
from the MHNG collections since the 1970s. Type material of 65 species is in the
BMNH (in some cases syntypes of a given species occur in both collections). Pictet
and Saussure did not designate holotypes, and did not normally label type material as
such, and some of the specimens labelled as syntypes may be holotypes by monotypy.
Some unavailable names are attributed to Pictet in the literature and these are
treated at the end of the catalogue.
ARRANGEMENT AND FORMAT
The species are listed alphabetically. The format for each is:
species name Author, work: page [Original generic placement].
Type locality (as given in the original descrition). Type series.
Number of specimens. Specimen: “Label data” [format of label]. Following the
recommendations of Ohl & Oswald (2004) the condition of each specimen is noted,
although minor damage to the tips of the antennae or wing margins is not enumerated.
Other comments. Location of material in the MHNG main Orthoptera collection.
Currently valid binomen of taxon (according to OSF).
The abbreviation OSF refers to Orthoptera Species File Online (Eades & Otte,
2010).

2010” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen set with wings spread; most of both an-
tennae, the right front and middle legs and both hind legs are missing. The locality
labels suggest that these specimens arrived in the MHNG collection when Saussure
and Pictet were preparing the first Orthoptera volume of the Biologia Centrali-
Americana (Saussure & Pictet 1898), meaning that they probably arrived after the
publication of the description. This impression is reinforced by the fact that the loca -
lity given in the description is only “l’Amérique centrale” rather than something more
specific. However, in the BCA (Saussure & Pictet, 1898) the only localities mentioned
are Chiriqui and Buguba in Panama, and Redtenbacher (1891: 342) refers to specimens
of this species from Chiriqui in the collection of Brunner von Wattenwyl, showing that
Champion’s material (it being unlikely that any other collector would have visited this
particular site at the time) was in Europe at around the time of publication. The
specimens in the MHNG collection are therefore possibly syntypes; if not, the where -
abouts of the type material is unknown. Images on OSF. Box F1.

possible to identify them. The specimen in the Muséum National d’histoire naturelle

the specimen is from Asia, as is stated in the description and on the species name label
in the insect box, or from Southern Africa as the label on the specimen pin indicates.

Although OSF states that the specimen in the BMNH is the holotype, the
MHNG collections contain a single hind femur labelled “Hemiudeopsylla geniculatus
P. et Ss, Fimur! [sic]” [handwritten on green paper], the label being apparently contem-

“Lectotype” handwritten on white printed card]. The species name label in the insect
box has the locality “Asia merid?” handwritten in the lower left corner. Specimen set
with wings spread, the wings being rather tattered; the left antenna, two tarsal segments
of the left front leg, the right front leg, two tarsal segments of both middle legs, the last
tarsal segment of the left hind leg and the right hind leg are missing. The abdomen is
much damaged, and has lost the end, which might explain why the specimen is referred
to as 么on OSF. No formal lectotype designation appears to have been published by de

[typewritten on white card]. Specimen set with wings folded; the antennae, right
middle leg and the tibia and tarsi of the left hind leg are lost. The right front leg and
left middle leg are detached and secured on the original pin. The abdomen has been
eviscerated and stuffed, presumably at the time of capture. The locality label suggests
that this is not part of the type series, but the material was acquired at the same time as
the syntypes. The collection also contains two more 乆and two juveniles which may
belong to the type series. Part of the type series of S. sigma Redtenbacher, 1891 is
stated to be in the MHNG in the original description, but no specimens are labelled as
such (the latter species having being placed in synonymy with S. godefrroyi). Images

the locality “Andes du Pérou” handwritten in the lower left corner. Specimen lacks the
tarsi of right front leg. Roberts & Carbonell (1992: 91) state that the types could not be
found, assuming that when the original description gave the type locality this meant
Colombia or Venezuela (Carbonell in litt.). It is possible however, that “Nouvelle
Grenade” was less precisely defined by Pictet & Saussure at the time of the description
than it was by Roberts & Carbonell and that this Andean specimen is a syntype. Images

left wings spread and right wings folded; the antennae, left front leg, right middle leg
and both hind legs are missing. The left middle leg is detached and secured through the
femur on the original pin. There is no material placed under the name P. verruculosa
in the MHNG collection. This specimen was found under Mateaus apicalis Bolivar,
1886 in the collection, but it matches the description, measurement and illustration
given for P. verruculosa. Box E1.

in the lower left corner but the type locality was given as Cayenne; this is probably
because the other specimen standing under this name in the collection has a locality
label and is from Brazil. Specimen set with left wings spread, the right wings are now
lost; the right antenna, all three right legs and the left hind leg are missing. Images on

UNAVAILABLE NAMES
Several unavailable names associated with Pictet appear in catalogues, appa-
rently due to confusion between the citation of names and authors in the original pu-
blications and the act of description resulting in homonyms.
Mimetica brunneri Saussure & Pictet (1898: 453) was given as a replacement
name for “M. mortuifolia Brunner, 1895”, but in that publication Brunner refers expli-
citly to M. mortuifolia Pictet, 1888 (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1895: 256). M. brunneri
(which is now considered a junior synonym of M. mortuifolia Pictet), was clearly an
unnecessary new name, and the material seen by Brunner, including the specimen
referred to as the holotype on OSF which is now in the Naturhistorisches Museum in
Vienna (NHMW), has no type status.
Hemiudeopsylla californiana Saussure & Pictet (1897: 302) was listed by Kirby
(1906: 130) as a species “nec. Scudder” despite the fact that the reference in the
Saussure & Pictet is explicitly to H. californiana (Scudder, 1862). H. californiana
Saussure & Pictet is currently considered a junior synonym of Pristoceuthophilus
celatus (Scudder, 1894) but was actually a misidentification, and the name is
unavailable.
J. HOLLIER
398

Kirby (1906: 346) lists Meroncidius rosalia Pictet, 1888 as a junior synonym of
Diophanes salvifolia (Lichtenstein, 1798) but Pictet explicitly cited the species as “M.
rosalia Stoll”, based on plate 7 figures 23 and 24 in Stoll (no exact reference given),
and the name M. rosalia Pictet is unavailable. Pictet’s material has not been located,
but may be amongst the specimens currently in the collection as Diophanes perspi-
cillatus Stoll, 1813.
Kirby (1906: 353) gave Cycloptera reticulata as a replacement name for C.
auranti folia Pictet, 1888 on the grounds that this was a junior homonym of C. auran-
tifolia (Stoll, 1813). In the text, however, Pictet explicitly refers to C. aurantifolia Stoll
and the name C. aurantifolia Pictet is thus unavailable. Vignon (1931: 161) designated
a specimen seen by Pictet (in box E31 of the MHNG collection) as the holotype of
Cycloptera reticulata Kirby, 1906.
