genera that are still valid today. In addition, together with Brauer and Ganglbauer, he established the fossil grasshopper genus Parapleurites and described their type species, as well as the fossil Humbertiella grandis (today Pseudohumbertiella grandis). Dedication names The following grasshoppers were named after Josef Redtenbacher: Colossopus redtenbacheri (Brongniart, 1897), Conocephalus redtenbacheri (Bolívar, 1905), Isophya redtenbacheri Adelung, 1907, Neoconocephalus redtenbacheri (Karny, 1907), Phlugiola redtenbacheri Karny, 1907, Salomona redtenbacheri Brongniart, 1897 and Xiphidiopsis redtenbacheri Karny, 1924. The genus Redtenbacheriella Karny, 1910 named after him has been synonymized in 1964 with the older genus Pseudosaga Brancsik, 1897. In addition, Phoberodema redtenbacheri Brancsik, 1897 (today Phricta spinosa) and Tabaria redtenbacheri Bolívar, 1903 (today Rhammatopoda opilionoides) are synonyms named after Redtenbacher. Their valid names are species described by Redtenbacher. Among the stick insects, the following species have been named after Redtenbacher: Ceroys redtenbacheri (Piza, 1936), Chlorobistus redtenbacheri Bragg, 2001, Phanocloidea redtenbacheri (Brock, 1998) and Phobaeticus redtenbacheri (Dohrn, 1910). In addition, the name of the subspecies Bacillus rossius redtenbacheri Padewieth, 1899 is dedicated to him.
