Taxonomy of Podoscirtinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae). Part 11: the tribe Hapithini and other American taxa

Abstract

The endemic American tribe Hapithini Gorochov, 1986 is divided into three subtribes: Hapithina stat. nov., Cearacesaina stat. nov. (= Cearacesaini Koçak et Kemal, 2010) and Aphonomorphina Desutter, 1988 (the latter subtribe is transferred from Podoscirtini). The following former genera of Hapithina are included in the genus Hapithus Uhler as its subgenera or as their synonyms: Hapithus s. str. (= Alexandrina Otte et Perez-Gelabert, syn. nov.; = ? Sipho Otte et Perez-Gelabert), Mashiyana Otte et Perez-Gelabert, stat. nov. (= ? Margarettia Otte et Perez-Gelabert and Knyella Otte et Perez-Gelabert), Orocharis Uhler, stat. nov. (= ? Walkerana Otte et Perez-Gelabert and Carylla Otte et Perez-Gelabert), Laurepa Walker, stat. nov., Antillicharis Otte et Perez-Gelabert, stat. nov., as well as Sabelo Otte et Perez-Gelabert and Laurellia Otte et Perez-Gelabert with unclear position inside Hapithus s. l. The following new taxa (49) are described from Neotropical region: Curiocharis subgen. nov. (in Hapithus s. l.), Hapithus (Hapithus) klugei sp. nov., H. (H.) palenque sp. nov., H. (Antillicharis) vulgaris sp. nov., H. (A.) v. chiapas subsp. nov., H. (A.) lacandona sp. nov., H. (A.) honduras sp. nov., H. (A.) fascifer sp. nov., H. (A.) selva sp. nov., H. (A.) haiti sp. nov., H. (A.) proxima sp. nov., H. (A.) celerans occidentalis subsp. nov., H. (Laurepa) jalisco sp. nov., Somnambula specularis gen. et sp. nov., S. ucayali sp. nov., Gryllophyllus magnispeculum gen. et sp. nov., Phyllogryllus robustus sp. nov. [Hapithina]; Cearacesa morona sp. nov., C. satipo sp. nov., Barota bolivia gen. et sp. nov., Taroba peru sp. nov., T. dea sp. nov., T. d. ecuador sp. nov., T. amboro sp. nov., T.? elchaco sp. nov., T.? rotundata sp. nov., T.? variegata sp. nov., T.? v. abbreviata subsp. nov. [Cearacesaina]; Aphonomorphus (Aphonomorphus) pileatus sp. nov., A. (A.) segregus sp. nov., A. (A.) montanus zamora subsp. nov., A. (Euaphonus) cusco sp. nov., A. (Lobaphonus) distinctus calabaza subsp. nov., Spiraphonus asymmetricus napo subsp. nov. [Aphonomorphina]; Angustitrella mataraku sp. nov., Paroecanthus tamaulipas sp. nov. [Paroecanthini: Paroecanthina]; Tafalisca? huanchaca sp. nov., Cylindrogryllus (Apterotrypa) noeli subgen. et sp. nov., C. (Neometrypus stat. nov.) aculeatus argentinus subsp. nov., C. aguarico sp. nov., C. sympatricus sp. nov., C. signatus sp. nov. [Paroecanthini: Tafaliscina]; Diatrypa (Diatrypa) glandulifera sp. nov. [Aphonoidini: Diatrypina]; and Dicerorostrum diceros gen. et sp. nov. [Podoscirtinae incertae sedis]. Keys for subgenera of the genera Hapithus and Cylindrogryllus Sauss. are given; the former genus Neometrypus Desutter is included in the latter genus as its subgenus; H. aphaeretos Otte et Perez-Gelabert, syn. nov. is synonymized to H. kerzhneri Gor.; a new female of the latter species is described; the former species Aphonomorphus desutterae Cadena-Castañeda et Noriega and subspecies Paroecanthus aztecus verapas Gor. are considered as a subspecies (A. solitarius desutterae stat. nov.) and a species (P. verapas stat. nov.), respectively; systematic position and distribution of some other taxa are clarified.
