• Scrutiny:
  • Eades, 2007, There is no published work stating this is a nomen dubium or synonym, but the name must be placed somewhere. There is a good summary by Hojun Song, 2007, Metaleptea 27(1), which is a newsletter of the Orthopterists' Society and does not qualify as published under the rules of nomenclature.
  • Braun, 2023, Status doubtful. To be a synonym of Ornithacris pictula (Walker, 1870) it would need to be a nomen oblitum.
• Type specimen information:
  • Type locality: South and East Africa
  • Kind of type:  unspecified primary type
  • Status of type:  lost
