Pfäuti, Patrice & Hollier, John, 2012, Additions to the catalogue of mantid type material deposited in the Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Genève (Insecta: Mantodea), Revue suisse de Zoologie 119 (3), pp. 261-267 : 265

striolatus var. Saussure & Zehntner, 1894 [Oligonyx] .

The original description included a variety of this species. A ♂ specimen in the collection (box 11) matches the description, with 4 labels: " Mr. Hy. de Sauss." (printed on green paper), "Duenas, Guatemala, G. C. Champion", "620-90 Guatemala Amer. cent. Coll. Godm. & Salv." and " Oligonyx striolata , ♂. var. Sss." (handwritten on green paper). It could be considered a syntype of Oligonicella striolata ( Saussure & Zehntner, 1894) although it is clear that Saussure and Zehntner were not sure if it was conspecific with the rest of the type series.
