Hollier, John, 2016, The type specimens of Orthoptera (Insecta) species described by Ignacio Bolívar and deposited in the Muséum d’histoire naturelle de Genève, Revue suisse de Zoologie 123 (1), pp. 21-33 : 23

insularis Bolivar, 1905: 113 , 114-115 [Tagasta].

Lombok, 4, 1896, Sapit 2.000 Mai-Juni 1896 (Fruhstorfer). More than one ♂.

One ♂, possibly a syntype, with labels: “Lombok, Sapit 2000’, Mai-Juni 1896, H. Fruhstorfer ” [printed on white card]; “ Tagasta insularis Bol. ” [handwritten on yellow paper]; “Possible syntype? Hollier 2014” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen set with left forewing spread, other wings folded. The left antenna, the claws of the right front leg and the last tarsal segment of the left hind leg are missing.

Although this specimen is from the same series as the specimens used for the description, it is possible that Fruhstorfer sold part of his material to the MHNG without it having been seen by Bolivar, meaning that this specimen would not be a syntype. Box X4.
