Classification of the Phalangopsinae subfamily group, and new taxa from the subfamilies Phalangopsinae and Phaloriinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)

A.V. Gorochov

Abstract. Preliminary classification of the Phalangopsinae subfamily group (= group “Phalangopsidae”: Phalangopsinae, Cacoplistinae, Phaloriinae and Pteroplistinae) are given. Some problems of evolution and taxonomy of this group are discussed. The former tribe Luzarini (= Luzarinae auct.) is synonymized with the tribe Phalangopsini divided into several subtribes (including the subtribe Luzarina). Sixty eight new taxa from Neotropical, Indo-Malayan and Papuan regions are described: Palpigera aluzara sp. nov., Asymmetracla subgen. nov. and Glandulacla subgen. nov. (in the genus Ochraperites Desutter-Grandcolas, 1993), O. (A.) asymmetricus sp. nov., O. (O.) cuyabeno sp. nov., O. (G.) aguarico sp. nov., Laozacla gen. nov., L. furca sp. nov., Eidmanacris longa sp. nov., Caribacusta gen. nov., C. antigua sp. nov., Noctivox orizaba sp. nov., Modestozarina subtrib. nov., Modestozara gen. nov., M. modesta sp. nov., M. troglophila sp. nov., M. satipo sp. nov., Notendecous subgen. nov. and Pedroecous subgen. nov. (in the genus Endecous Saussure, 1878), Daedalonotum gen. nov., D. daedalum sp. nov., Nemozarina subtrib. nov., Nemozara gen. nov., N. rio sp. nov., N. riorio sp. nov., N. pastaza sp. nov., N. vulcanica sp. nov., Anemozara gen. nov., Zacmozara subgen. nov. (in the genus Anemozara), A. (A.) vera sp. nov., A. (A.) propria sp. nov., A. (A.) umbrosa sp. nov., A. (Z.) eximia sp. nov., Lernecina subtrib. nov.; Lerneca sylvestris sp. nov., L. inalata amboro subsp. nov., L. inalata pantanal subsp. nov., Parendacustina subtrib. nov., ?Uvaroviella problematica sp. nov., Bolivacla gen. nov., B. boliviana sp. nov., Brevizaclina subtrib. nov., Stridulacla subgen. nov. (in the genus Mikluchomaklaia Gorochov, 1986), M. (M.) enarotali sp. nov., Papuzacla subgen. nov. and Lobulacla subgen. nov. (in the genus Brevizacla Gorochov, 2003), B. (P.) fawi sp. nov., B. (L.) nabire sp. nov., B. (L.) halmahera sp. nov., Terrozacla gen. nov., T. jambi sp. nov., T. harau sp. nov., T. trusmadi sp. nov., T. borneo sp. nov., T. kubah sp. nov., T. gading sp. nov., Vescelia mulu sp. nov., Phaloria (Papuloria) latiuscula sp. nov., Ph. (P.) tristis sp. nov., Ph. (P.) paratristis sp. nov., Ph. (P.) tariku sp. nov., Ph. (P.) manifesta sp. nov., Ph. (P.) waena sp. nov., Ph. (P.) neorava sp. nov.; Ph. sulawesi sp. nov.; Tremellia timah orientalis subsp. nov.; Pseudotrigonidium borneo sp. nov.; P. gaponi sp. nov. One former genus is included in the genus Longuripes Desutter-Grandcolas et Hubbell, 1993 as its subgenus Prolonguripes Desutter- Grandcolas, 1993, stat. nov. Prosthacusta beliza (Otte et Perez-Gelabert, 2009), comb. nov. is transferred from the synonymic genus Doposia Otte et Perez-Gelabert, 2009 (= Lerneca Walker, 1869) to Prosthacusta Saussure, 1874. The genus Otteus Koçak et Kemal, 2009, gen. dist. is restored from synonymy with Cubacophus Ruiz-Baliú et Otte, 1997. Phaloria galoa Otte et Cowper, 2007, syn. nov. is synonymized with Ph. heterotrypoides Gorochov, 1999, and this species as well as Ph. insularis Bolivar, 1912 are transferred from the nominotypical subgenus to the subgenus Papuloria Gorochov, 1996.
