Dey L-S, Husemann M (2018) An annotated catalogue of the types of bush-crickets and crickets (Orthoptera, Ensifera) housed in the Zoological Museum Hamburg (

Types represent the ultimate taxonomic information of a species and hence represent the most important specimens in museums. The entomological collections of the Zoological Museum Hamburg (now part of the Centrum für Naturkunde) hold several thousand primary types of insects. However, despite their importance currently no type database exists and catalogues have not been updated since almost 50 years and are only available in German. Following the publication of our catalogue of Caelifera types, we here present an updated catalogue for the Ensifera types held in the collection in English language. 74 species are represented as types with 105 specimens; of these 44 are name-bearing types: 36 holotypes, 3 lectotypes, 4 syntypes and 1 neotype. The remaining specimens are para- (55), paralecto- (4), allo- (1) and neoallotypes (1). Most of the species were described by Max Beier (18), Tevfik Karabak (13), Josef Redtenbacher (13) and the former curator of the collection Herbert Weidner (10). In his catalogues in 1966 and 1977 Weidner recorded types of 73 species present in the collection and an additional 65 as potentially lost in the war; 71 of the types recorded by Weidner were still present, whereas two could not be found (Xiphidium geniculare Redtenbacher, 1891; Xiphidium longipes Redtenbacher, 1891); one species recorded as lost by Weidner was found (Lezina acuminata Ander, 1938) and one species (neoallotype of Paradecolya inexspectata Chopard, 1957) and one additional type individual (paratype of Choeroparnops forcipatus Beier, 1949) are newly reported for the collection.

Natural history collections are the main archives of biodiversity. They focus on collecting, maintaining and documenting natural specimens, a crucial task in times of biodiversity decline. The Zoological Museum of Hamburg (
Despite their importance, the entomological collections in Hamburg are not well documented, nor digitized. Herbert Weidner, a former curator of the collection had published an important series of papers from the 60s until the late 70s, where he documented the collections in much detail (first catalogue -
The Orthoptera can be grouped into the suborders of grasshoppers (Caelifera) and the crickets and bush-crickets (Ensifera). The Ensifera with more than 15 000 contemporary species are the larger of the two groups (
Here, we provide an updated catalogue for the Ensifera types currently housed in the

This figure shows A: dorsal view the paratype of Gampsocleis acutipennis Karabag, 1955; B: dorsal view of the holotype of Lezina acuminata Ander, 1938, which was declared as missing by
Typical labels of several important taxonomists, who deposited material in the collection: A: Hermann Krauss, B: Tevfik Karabag, C: Heinrich Hugo Karny, D: Herbert Weidner, E: Max Beier, F: Alfred Kaltenbach, G: Josef Redtenbacher.
Two of the 72 species reported by Weidner could not be found during our data acquisition (Xiphidium geniculare Redtenbacher, 1891; Xiphidium longipes Redtenbacher, 1891). One type, which was recorded as missing by Weidner was Lezina acuminata Ander, 1938; this type was recently send to us by the NHM Lund. The two newly reported species for the collection are: Paradecolya inexspectata Chopard, 1957 and an individual of Choeroparnops forcipatus Beier, 1949. Moreover, 67 species should be present as types according to catalogues and according to
In addition to the identified types the collection holds some old specimens which may be types, but require further investigation (e.g. Fig.
The definitions of types are according to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN).
Name-bearing types – specimens with a name bearing function (i.e. holotype, syntype, lectotype, neotype)
Holotype – a single specimen on which a new taxon is based in the original publication
Allotype – a specimen of opposite sex of the holotype (no name-bearing function)
Syntype – specimens of a type series that collectively constitute the name-bearing type
Cotype – the term should be avoided; the specimen can be similar to a syntype or a paratype
Lectotype – a specimen that was a syntype, but was designated as unique bearer of a name
Neotype – a name bearing type designated for an existing taxon when no name-bearing type is extant
Paratype – specimens belonging to a type species not being the holotype
Paralectotype – the remaining specimens of a syntype series after the designation of a lectotype
