Hollier, John, 2012, An annotated catalogue of the type material of the Orthoptera (Insecta) species described by Josef Redtenbacher deposited in the collections of the Muséum d’histoire naturelle de Genève, Revue suisse de Zoologie 119 (1), pp. 3-25 : 17

maculata Redtenbacher, 1891: 455-456 , fig. 63 [ Agraecia ].

Brasilia, Theresopolis (coll. Brunner, coll. Dohrn, coll. Schulthess-Rechberg, Mus. Genf & Mus. Hamburg). More than one ♀ .

One ♀ syntype with labels: “S Catherina, Rio Capivary , Fruhstorfer 1888” [printed on white paper with black margin]; “ Uruguay ” [printed on a strip of green paper]; “ Agraecia maculate R.” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with wings spread; the left hind leg lacks one tarsal segment, the right hind leg lacks two tarsal segments. Although the locality is apparently different to that cited in the description, “Theresopolis” and “S Catherina” are frequently found on the same locality label in the MHNG collection. The Uruguay label, however, is presumably a lapse. According to OSF a specimen in the NHMW is the lectotype, but it is not clear whether this has been officially designated. Box F 15 .
