rasshoppers, crickets and katydids (order Orthoptera) of the National Institute of Amazonian Research (INPA), one are recognized not only for their economic importance from the Collection of Invertebrates of the Museum Paraense as potential agricultural pests, but also for their Emílio Goeldi (MPEG), 11 from the Zoological Collection of the ecological role, being indispensable elements at different levels University of the Maranhão State and nine from the Zoological in food chains as the main prey of many vertebrates and other Collection of Federal University of Amazonas. These specimens invertebrates including other insects (Nu n e s -Gu t j a h r & Br a g a were identified following the key of species proposed by Re h n 2010). Moreover, they contribute directly to the cycling of plant (1950). matter as natural defoliators (Nu n e s -Gu t j a h r & Br a g a 2010). Among the 33 families belonging to the order Orthoptera, there The description of Quiva abacata (Brunner von Wattenwyl) is the family Tettigoniidae whose representatives are commonly (Figure 1a) reports the posterior margin of the lateral lobes of known in Brazil as “esperanças” (Ho g u e 1993; Re n t z 2010). pronotum broadly arched with the ventral margin, sub-genital plate without lobes and widely produced (Figure 1b); cerci Tettigoniidae possesses 19 subfamilies distributed worldwide, provided with a short denticle on its dorsodistal part (Br u nn e r five of which occur in Brazil and in the Brazilian Amazon: v o n Wa t t e nw y l 1878; Re h n 1950). This species was recorded for Conocephalinae, Listroscelidinae, Meconematinae, Maroni in French Guiana, Moengo in Suriname and in Itauna Comunicação Científica Pseudophyllinae and Phaneropterinae. Currently the largest Valley, Espírito Santo state, southeastern Brazil (Re h n 1950; of the subfamilies of Tettigoniidae, Phaneropterinae possesses Ea d e s et al. 2013). That being so this species is registered for more than 2.300 described species (Re n t z 2010; Sp e r b e r et al. the first time in the Brazilian amazon rainforest in the states of 2012; Ea d e s et al. 2013). In Brazil this subfamily includes 283 Amazonas, Pará and Maranhão. species distributed into 83 genera (Sp e r b e r et al. 2012; Ea d e s et al. 2013) divided into 14 tribes, among which is the tribe Dysoniini, Examined material: 18♂ e 1♀ - BRASIL, Amazonas, Manaus, whose representatives are characterized by a chromatic body ZF2, km 14 - torre 40m, 21-24.i.2004, (C.S.
