holotype lost #76

Closed typophyllum closed 1 month ago

At Bolivaritettix insignis (Kirby 1914). imagen

The eight images migrated, but the holotype is gone. There is no duplicate OTU. Same situation in sandcastle. imagen

@LocoDelAssembly Could the reason be the incomplete coordinates (longitude only)?

Another one, incomplete information, but nonetheless. imagen imagen

Fortunately we have some nice photographs in inaturalist https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/202953609

According to a list made by @LocoDelAssembly altogether 24 specimens got lost under similar circumstances. I started to add them (B. insignis holotype is done). Sometimes, especially in cases where photos are involved, a DwC regeneration seems to be necessary to show them appropriately on TaxonPages.

In fact only 12 specimens, all with incomplete coordinates. Done.

The Rhicnogryllus lepidus case is different.
