Glaphyrosoma bruneri
(
Cockerell, 1912
)
nomen dubium
Comments.
Upon request for information on the
holotype
of “
Mayacris bruneri
Cockerell, 1912
” (original name for this species) at the USNM (National Museum of Natural History,
Washington D.C.
,
USA
), no specimen was found; for this reason, we consider that the
holotype
is lost.
Gorochov & Cadena-Castañeda (2016)
inferred from the original description (
Cockerel, 1912
) that the
holotype
of this species might have been an immature specimen. Since its description no additional specimens have been reported that might authenticate the validity of this species and to retain stability in the genus. We regard this species as
nomem dubium.
