Abstract
The new tribe Pycnopalpini is proposed, based on morphological similarity among the genera Hetaira, Pycnopalpa, Topana (Pycnopalpina n. subtr.), Dolichocercus, Oxyprorella, Theia, and TheiellaTheia unicolor, Theia bifurcata n. sp., Theiella amazonica n. sp., Theiella andina n. sp., and D. santanderensis n. sp. from Colombia, and D. costaricensis n. sp. from Costa Rica. Hetaira (Atopana) morona and Hetaira (Atopana) varia are recorded from the Colombian Amazon, where both species seem to occur sympatrically. Theia peruviana n. comb. is also recorded from the Colombian Amazon, where it seems to occur sympatrically with T. bifurcata. The paper contains additional new combinations, and Oxyprorella gregoirea syn. n. is a new synonym for Insara bolivari. This contribution reconsiders the neotropical subfamily Phaneropterinae, aiming to establish the limits of the tribes and genera of this subfamily.
Highlights
The tribe Pycnopalpini n. trib. (Orthoptera, Tettigonioidea, Phaneropteridae): second contribution to neotropical Phaneropterinae.— The new tribe Pycnopalpini is proposed, based on morphological similarity among the genera Hetaira, Pycnopalpa, Topana (Pycnopalpina n. subtr.), Dolichocercus, Oxyprorella, Theia, and Theiella n. gen. (Theiina n. subtr.)
We also described the male of Theia unicolor, Theia bifurcata n. sp., Theiella amazonica n. sp., Theiella andina n. sp., and D. santanderensis n. sp. from Colombia, and D. costaricensis n. sp. from Costa Rica
New species of katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) of the neotropical genera Arachnoscelis (Listroscelidinae) and Phlugiola (Meconematinae), with taxonomic notes
Summary
Los especímenes estudiados se encuentran depositados en el Museo de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, en la Colección de Entomología y Aracnología (MUD). Cambios en el género Oxyprorella Los géneros y especies indicados a continuación presentan las siguientes sinonimias o se transfieren desda grupos ajenos a la tribu: Oxyprorella Giglio–Tos, 1898: se transfiere desde la tribu Dysoniini por no ajustarse a los caracteres diagnósticos de los géneros de dicha tribu (Cadena–Castañeda, 2013c). El género Oxyprorella se ajusta mejor a los caracteres diagnósticos de la tribu Pycnopalpini trib. Las especies descritas por Bruner (O. modesta y O. zebrata) se transfieren al género Montezumina Hebard, 1925 y O. dives se traslada a Theia: Oxyprorella modesta, Montezumina modesta (Bruner, 1915) comb. Clave para las subtribus y los géneros de la tribu Pycnopalpini trib.
