Daftar Isi:
- Nisitrus maculosus (Walker, 1871) nomen dubium, new status Table 2 Nisitra maculosa Walker 1871: 14. Nisitra maculosa – Kirby 1906: 87. Nisitrus maculosus – Chopard 1968: 353. — Cigliano et al. 2020 (Orthoptera Species File online). Type locality Indonesia: Maluka, Seram Island. Type details Male, not located. Remarks According to the uninformative original description, the type of the species is from Seram Island, while no species of Nisitrus has ever been recorded in the region of Maluku Archipelago (Indonesia). In addition, the description mentions that the eyes are little prominent, and that the FWs extend beyond the abdomen, which is not compatible with any other species of Nisitrus. With the type missing, we consider this species as nomen dubium (new status).
