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 : 28

fragosoi Bolívar, 1885a: 117 [Gryllomorphus].

Dos Hermanas (Séville). Unspecified number of ♂.

The single specimen placed under this name in the MHNG has a locality label of a form (white card rectangle with the points of the corners cut off) and handwriting very similar to those of some of the Bolivar lectotypes illustrated on OSF and dissimilar in both senses from the usual MHNG labels. It is therefore possible, if unlikely, that this is a syntype. A ♂ with labels: “Seville Julio” [handwritten on white card]; “ Gryllomorphus fragosoi Bol. Seville ” [handwritten on white paper]; “ Gryllomorphus fragosoi Bol. ” [handwritten on blue paper]; “Possible syntype? Hollier 2014” [handwritten on red paper]. Two tarsal segments of the right hind leg and the entire left hind leg are missing. Paris (1994) considered the type series lost. Box A19
