canescens Saussure, 1888: 89 [ Leptopternis ].

Aegyptus. One ♁.

Holotype ♁ with labels: “Hyalorhipis canescens Sss. , Egypte, M. H. de Sauss. ” [handwritten on lilac paper]; “Hyalorhipis canescens Sauss. ” [handwritten on blue paper]; “ Holotypus ” [printed on red card]. Specimen set with wings spread; the last tarsal segment of the right front leg and both hind legs are missing. This is the specimen from which the measurements in the description were taken (the hind legs being already lost). The description also makes reference to an illustration in Savigny (1817: Orthoptera , plate 7, figure 12), and the specimen used for that figure (and presumably in the MNHN) might be considered a syntype, which would make the specimen in the MHNG also a syntype. Box V32.
