“…The traditional subfamily Scelimeninae is one of the most diverse groups within Tetrigidae, and is composed of three main tribes (Scelimenini, Criotettigini and Thoradontini). Members of this subfamily generally inhabit moist environments, including wetlands and forest streams, and feed on lichens, mosses, and humus ( Muhammad et al, 2018 ; Wei, Xin & Deng, 2018 ). They are regarded as important ecological indicators for the freshwater swamp forest because of their sensitivity to their microhabitat ( Tan, Yeo & Hwang, 2017 ; Chen et al, 2018 ).…”

“…However, the phylogenetic relationships between different genera of Scelimeninae are not well understood, nor is the taxonomic status of Scelimeninae within Tetrigidae ( Deng, 2016 ; Adžić et al, 2020 ). The monophyly of Scelimeninae remains controversial ( Muhammad et al, 2018 ; Adžić et al, 2020 ). Bolívar (1887) primarily defined Scelimeninae members based on the presence of lateral spines.…”

“…Bolívar (1887) primarily defined Scelimeninae members based on the presence of lateral spines. However, Muhammad et al (2018) and Adžić et al (2020) proposed that Scelimeninae was probably not monophyletic. Previous studies determined that Tetriginae may have diverged more recently, based on several genes (COI, CYTB, 18S or 16S), while Scelimeninae is more basal ( Fang et al, 2010 ; Jiang, 2000 ).…”

Scelimeninae is a key member of the pygmy grasshopper community, and an important ecological indicator. No mitochondrial genomes of Scelimeninae have been reported to date, and the monophyly of Scelimeninae and its phylogenetic relationship within Tetrigidae is still unclear. We sequenced and analyzed eight nearly complete mitochondrial genomes representing eight genera of Scelimeninae. These mitogenomes ranged in size from 13,112 to 16,380 bp and the order of tRNA genes between COII and ATP8 was reversed compared with the ancestral order of insects. The protein-coding genes (PCGs) of tetrigid species mainly with the typical ATN codons and most terminated with complete (TAA or TAG) stop codons. Analyses of pairwise genetic distances showed that ATP8 was the least conserved gene within Tetrigidae, while COI was the most conserved. The longest intergenic spacer (IGS) region in the mitogenomes was always found between tRNASer(UCN) and ND1. Additionally, tandem repeat units were identified in the longest IGS of three mitogenomes. Maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) analyses based on the two datasets supported the monophyly of Tetriginae. Scelimeninae was classified as a non-monophyletic subfamily.

The four-spined pygmy devil (Arulenus validispinus Stål, 1877) is an endemic species to the Philippines. It was described more than 140 years ago from a single female specimen. Since its description, only a single new record was known, reported by Skejo from the Lanao region in 2017 and based on a specimen from eBay. Here, we record the species from the Bukidnon Mountains. We present measurements of a male and a female we collected, with the description of the species morphology and habitat. This species differs from its congeneric Mia’s pygmy devil (A. miae Skejo & Caballero, 2016) by the sharp dorsal and lateral spines.

“…However, classification and taxonomy of many groups of this family are still problematic, despite recent major revisionary works (e.g. Tumbrinck 2014, 2018, Storozhenko 2016, Muhammad et al 2018. This can be attributed to the lack of clear-cut diagnoses.…”

The genus Cladonotella (Tetrigidae: Cladonotinae) consists of four species of pygmy grasshoppers from Java and New Guinea. A new species of Cladonotella is described from Siargao Island, Philippines: Cladonotella spinulosasp. nov. This represents the first record of Cladonotella in the Philippines. To quantify differences between species of Cladonotella, we used morphological characters to construct a neighbor-joining tree, and recovered our new species as distinct from congeners. To address the lack of natural history information on Cladonotella, we described habitat and other ecological observations made in Siargao Island on our new species.
