Orthoptera View in CoL indet.

Material.— No repository number, currently lost (coll. Louis Piton); a hind femur from Menat, Paleocene.

Remarks.— A hind femur has been ascribed to the new taxon name Eremobiites by Piton (1940), but this genus is preoccupied by Eremobiites Suassure, 1884. Furthermore, there is no named type species for the genus Eremobiites Piton, 1940 , thus this genus name, that is based on a taxon in open nomenclature, should be considered invalid. This fossil is an Orthoptera indet.
