Eneopterus surinamensis – Saussure 1878: 672.

Platydactylus bicolor Scudder, 1868: 141 . — Saussure 1874: 516. Eneoptera surinamensis – Kirby 1906: 90.

Platydactylus subnotatus Walker, 1869: 88 . Eneoptera surinamensis – Saussure 1874: 483.

Paraeneopterus elegans Giglio-Tos, 1897: 8 . Eneoptera surinamensis – Hebard 1928: 262.

Platydactylus vicinus Serville, 1839: 369 . Eneoptera surinamensis – Saussure 1874: 483. Eneoptera vicina – Kirby 1906: 90. Eneoptera surinamensis – Hebard 1928: 262.

Gryllus servillei Guérin-Méneville, 1844: 829 , repeatedly synonymised with Eneoptera surinamensis Saussure 1874: 483, 1878: 672 . — Kirby 1906: 90. — Chopard 1931: 14; 1968: 348 should not have been considered a distinct species, as this name results from a typographical error

(Guérin-Méneville 1844: 329); Robillard & Desutter-Grandcolas 2005: 413.

TYPE LOCALITY. — Surinam.

HOLOTYPE FEMALE. — [ Surinam]: 24. VI. identified Gr. [ Gryllus ] surinamensis by De Geer, NHRS-GU- LI-00000346 (photograph by Gunvi Lindberg, Copyright Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, NHRS).

EXAMINED MATERIAL FROM COSTA RICA. — No precision, 1 ♂, 2 ♀♀, ex-coll. Biolley, ex-coll. Finot. Surubres, San Mateo, 1 ♀, ex-coll. Pittier ( MNHN).

DIAGNOSIS AND REDESCRIPTION. — See Robillard & Desutter-Grandcolas (2005: 416).

The specimens mentioned and photographed by Otte (2006: fig. 59) do neither match the description nor the photographs of the holotype specimen ( Fig. 1 ). They clearly correspond to the species Ponca venosa as redescribed in Robillard & Desutter-Grandcolas (2005).
