Item Expanding the taxonomic knowledge of Adelosgryllus Mesa & Zefa, 2004 (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Phalangopsidae): description of four new species for Brazilian subterranean habitats(2022-05-03) MERLO, RAYANNE LAYS SANT’ANA; CASTRO-SOUZA, RODRIGO ANTÔNIO; JUNTA, VITOR GABRIEL PEREIRA; FERREIRA, RODRIGO LOPESIn this study, four new Brazilian species are described for the genus Adelosgryllus Mesa & Zefa, 2004, occurring in Minas Gerais, Tocantins and Pará states. Three of these species were found in caves and one was found in endogenous habitats, representing the first record of species form this genus for such habitats. The morphology of the phallic complex was used as the main criterion for distinguishing the new species, the copulatory papilla was also described for one of the new species. Finally, we bring a brief discussion about the ecology, distribution, and conservation of these species.- Five new species of Phalangopsis Serville, 1831 (Orthoptera: Phalangopsidae) from Brazilian caves in the Amazon Forest(2020-10-06) PEREIRA JUNTA, VITOR GABRIEL; CASTRO-SOUZA, RODRIGO ANTÔNIO; LOPES FERREIRA, RODRIGOThe current work presents the description of five new cricket species for the genus Phalangopsis Serville, 1831 found in Brazilian caves in the Amazonas, Mato Grosso and Pará states, northern Brazil. The morphology of the phallic complex was used as the main criterion for distinguishing the species. In addition, we present data on the natural history and ecology of the new species as well as hypothesis about the variations of tegmina size in relation to the subterranean lifestyle for the genus. Finally, we provide a pictorial key based on adult males for the Phalangopsis species.
- New troglobitic and troglophilic syntopic species of Endecous(Orthoptera, Grylloidea, Phalangopsidae) from a Brazilian cave: a case of sympatric speciation?(Magnolia Press, 2020) CASTRO-SOUZA, RODRIGO ANTÔNIO; ZEFA, EDISON; LOPES FERREIRA, RODRIGOCrickets of the genus Endecous (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Phalangopsidae) are frequently found in caves, in some cases presenting strictly subterranean lifestyle. In addition to the morphological diagnostic characters of the group, bioacoustic and karyotype, also help on delimiting species. Here, we describe two new sympatric species of this genus, which occur in the largest cave of Minas Gerais state, Brazil, using the morphology of phallic complex, the courtship song and karyotype. Moreover, we discuss the criteria used, the troglomorphisms for this genus, as well as hypothesis on the speciation process involving these species.
Item The first record of Adelosgryllus Mesa & Zefa, 2004 (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Phalangopsidae) from caves, with the description of a new species from Brazil(2021-02-18) MERLO, RAYANNE LAYS SANT’ANA; CASTRO-SOUZA, RODRIGO ANTÔNIO; JUNTA, VITOR GABRIEL PEREIRA; FERREIRA, RODRIGO LOPESThe first species for the genus Adelosgryllus Mesa & Zefa, 2004 recorded in caves is herein described. We used the morphology of the phallic complex as the main criteria to differentiate this species from the congeneric ones. In addition, we discussed the natural history of the new species, some aspects of its association to the cave habitats, and the intraspecific variation of the right tegmen observed in two populations of this new species.Item The first record of Adelosgryllus Mesa & Zefa, 2004 (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Phalangopsidae) from caves, with the description of a new species from Brazil(2004) MERLO, RAYANNE LAYS SANT’ANA; CASTRO-SOUZA, RODRIGO ANTÔNIO; JUNTA, VITOR GABRIEL PEREIRA; FERREIRA, RODRIGO LOPESThe first species for the genus Adelosgryllus Mesa & Zefa, 2004 recorded in caves is herein described.
