Three ♀ syntypes. A ♀ with labels: “ ♀ Madras, Indes or., colln Guérin” [handwritten on ruled white card with “Indes or.” printed]; “ Oecanthus indicus Sauss. ” [handwritten on yellow paper], “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded; most of both antennae, the left middle leg, the tarsi of the right front leg, the left middle leg and both hind legs are missing. The ovipositor has been broken near the base and is missing. A ♀ with labels: “ JAVA ” [printed on a strip of yellow paper]; “ Oecanthus indicus Sauss. ” [handwritten on yellow paper]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded; most of both antennae, the tarsi of the right front leg, two tarsal segments of the left hind leg and the right hind leg are lost. A ♀ with labels: “ Oecanthus indicus Ss. ” [handwritten on white card]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded, the pin going laterally through the thorax; the left front middle and hind legs, and the last tarsal segment of the right hind leg are lost. There is a fourth ♀ labelled “ Celebes ” which may be a mislabelled syntype because the pin is the same as that of the Madras specimen. The whereabouts of the rest of the type material is unknown.
