At present, 58 species and subspecies of the cricket subfamily Phalangopsinae are registered in Peru, and 25 of them are found in the territory covered by the Peruvian project on invertebrate fauna of the Ene and Tambo River Basins. From this country, ten taxa are here described as new to science: Aclo- gryllus ashaninka sp. nov.; Rumea minispeculum sp. nov.; R. pacaya sp. nov.; Izerskya minutissima gen. et sp. nov.; Kevanacla orientalis zigzag subsp. nov.; Adelosgryllina subtrib. nov.; Adelosgryllus parasimi- lis sp. nov.; Luzara venado major subsp. nov.; Uvaroviella (Holacla) izerskyi multa subsp. nov. Previously unknown male is described for Modestozara satipo Gor. and for U. (Euacla) grandis (Des.-Grand.). New data on distribution and systematical position of some taxa as well as a brief discussion about Phalango- psinae classification are also given. Резюме.

ZooKeys 589: 97–106. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.589.7739 Abstract Myrmecophilus americanus and M. albicinctus are typical myrmecophilous insects living inside ant nests. These species are ecologically important due to the obligate association with tramp ant species, includ- ing harmful invasive ant species. However, the taxonomy of these “white-banded ant crickets” is quite confused owing to a scarcity of useful external morphological characteristics. Recently, M. albicinctus was synonymized with M. americanus regardless of the apparent host use difference. To clarify taxonomical relationship between M. albicinctus and M. albicinctus, we reexamined morphological characteristics of both species mainly in the viewpoint of anatomy. Observation of genitalia parts, together with a few external body parts, revealed that M. albicinctus showed different tendency from them of M. americanus. Therefore, we recover M. albicinctus as a distinct species on the basis of the morphology.

  • Mitochondrial Genome Characterization of the Family Trigonidiidae
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Mitochondrial genome characterization of the family Trigonidiidae (Orthoptera) reveals novel structural features and nad1 transcript ends Chuan Ma1,3, Yeying Wang2,3, Licui Zhang1 & Jianke Li1* The Trigonidiidae, a family of crickets, comprises 981 valid species with only one mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequenced to date. To explore mitogenome features of Trigonidiidae, six mitogenomes from its two subfamilies (Nemobiinae and Trigonidiinae) were determined. Two types of gene rearrangements involving a trnN-trnS1-trnE inversion and a trnV shufing were shared by Trigonidiidae. A long intergenic spacer was observed between trnQ and trnM in Trigonidiinae (210−369 bp) and Nemobiinae (80–216 bp), which was capable of forming extensive stem-loop secondary structures in Trigonidiinae but not in Nemobiinae. The anticodon of trnS1 was TCT in Trigonidiinae, rather than GCT in Nemobiinae and other related subfamilies. There was no overlap between nad4 and nad4l in Dianemobius, as opposed to a conserved 7-bp overlap commonly found in insects. Furthermore, combined comparative analysis and transcript verifcation revealed that nad1 transcripts ended with a U, corresponding to the T immediately preceding a conserved motif GAGAC in the superfamily Grylloidea, plus poly-A tails. The resultant UAA served as a stop codon for species lacking full stop codons upstream of the motif. Our fndings gain novel understanding of mitogenome structural diversity and provide insight into accurate mitogenome annotation. Te typical mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of insects is a circular molecule ranging in size from 15 kb to 18 kb1. It harbors 37 genes including two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs).

Castellanos-Morales Abstract A new species of troglomorphic catfish is described from de Gedania Cave, located in the middle Suárez River drainage, Magdalena River system, Colombia. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the following characters: reduction or loss of the cornea, reduction of eyes and skin pigmentation, very long nasal and maxillary barbels (maximum of 160% and 135% of HL, respectively), nine branched pectoral-fin rays, first unbranched ray of the pectoral fin prolonged as a long filament, reaching 80% of pectoral-fin length, anterior cranial fontanel connected with the posterior fontanel through an opening of variable length and width, first dorsal- fin pterygiophore inserted between neural spines of free vertebra 13-14 and free vertebrae 33-34. The presence of troglomorphisms such as regression of the eyes, reduction of skin pigmentation and long barbels suggest the troglobitic status of this species. A comparative analysis with other species of Trichomycterus from epigean and hypogean environments is presented.

Marcgraviella muriciensis Souza-Dias n. gen., n. sp. and M. christianae Desutter-Grandcolas & Souza-Dias n. gen., n. sp. are described using characters of morphology and male genitalia. The new genus is character- ized by male genitalia singularities, presenting elongated and inflatable pseudepiphallic parameres, which lies in vertical or almost vertical position, and long and tubular pseudepiphallic arms associated to phallic glands. We provide a discus- sion about the morphology of male genitalia and the function of the phallic glands and pseudepiphallic arms in Marcgra- viella n. gen. and related taxa. An identification key for Marcgraviella n. gen. and related genera is proposed.

Zoosystema2\ (3) : 495-524. ABSTRACT The African species of the phalangopsid genus Paragryllodes are revised on the basis of an important material recently collected in Eastern and Cenrral Africa. The type species of the genus, P. borgerti Karny, 1909, is redescribed, together with P. fuscifrons Chopard, 1934 and P. pictus Chopard, 1958, and 11 new species (P. bipunctatus n. sp., P. centralis n. sp., P. deleportei n. sp., P. dissimilis n. sp., P. kessala n. sp., P. longixiphus n. sp., P. makandensis n. sp., P. makokou n. sp., P. minor n. sp., P. orensis n. sp., P. unicolor n. sp.) KEYWORDS are described. Keys for males and females are given for Eastern African spe­ insects, cies and for Western and Central African species. Direct observations of the Orthoptera, Gryflidea, crickers in the field allow to define the life habits of these forest-dwelling spe­ rainforest, cies as nocturnal, dendrophilous and cavicolous, hiding during the day in Africa, cavities above ground level. Preliminary data on the distribution of habitat, new species. Paragryllodes in Africa are given. ZOOSYSTEMA • 1999 • 21 (3) Desutter-Grandcolas L.

  • Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Phalangopsidae) from Caves of Eastern Brazil: Evidence of Isolation in the Subterranean Realm and Discussion About Troglomorphisms

(Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Phalangopsidae) from caves of Eastern Brazil: evidence of isolation in the subterranean realm and discussion about troglomorphisms MARCIO P. BOLFARINI1, 2 & MARIA ELINA BICHUETTE1 1Laboratório de Estudos Subterrâneos, Departamento de Ecologia e Biologia Evolutiva, Universidade Federal de São Carlos, rod.Washington Luis, km 235, 13565-905, São Carlos, SP, Brazil 2Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We describe a new species of the genus Endecous Saussure (1878), recorded at the Lapa do Cipó and Olhos d’Água caves, which are located in the Itacarambi municipality, Minas Gerais state, Eastern Brazil. Another species, E. aguassay Mews, 2008 was recordedin the surroundings of the caves. The genus Endecous corresponds to the most common cricket in Bra- zilian hypogean environments. In general, these crickets inhabit the areas around cave entrances up to the aphotic zones of caves. The genus Endecous is the only cave cricket to present troglobiomorphosis, i.e., an apterous condition. The dis- tribution of the new species is limited to these two caves, which suggests an endemism in this karst system similar to the distribution of other endemic animals, such as harvestmen and amblypygid arachnids. This species is the sixth troglobitic one described for Olhos d’Água cave, which sets this cave as a spot of subterranean fauna in Brazil.
