La Tribu Viadaniini n. trib. (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae): Primer Aporte a La Organización Supra-Genérica de los Faneropterinos Neotropicales

Systematics of the American Katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae). Communication 8

“…(O.) andina (Cadena-Castañeda, 2014), by all the wings somewhat shorter, pronotal disc not bilobed (vs. clearly bilobed posteriorly), and fore femora having distinct oblique brown stripes (vs. these stripes are less distinct and almost not oblique); and from Th. (O.)…”

A new species of Phylloptera Serville, 1831 (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Phaneropterinae) from southern Brazil and lectotype designation for Phylloptera picta Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1891

“…Phyllopterini is a tribe of katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae) comprised by 116 species and 14 genera, and that encompasses the genera originally placed by Brunner von Wattenwyl (1878) in the groups Phyllopterae and Phrixae (Cadena-Castañeda, 2015). Phyllopterini is currently divided in two subtribes, Phyllopterina, with 114 species, and Uberabina, with only two described species (Cigliano et al, 2020).…”

“…Among the subtribe Phyllopterina, Phylloptera Serville, 1831 appears as the most speciose genus, with 42 species described so far (Cigliano et al, 2020). Cadena-Castañeda (2015) presented important taxonomic changes that, besides delimiting more appropriately this genus, had a pronounced effect on its distribution; with the transfer of an African and an Asian species originally described under Phylloptera to other genera, Phylloptera (and also Phyllopterini) came to be understood as Neotropical groups. This way, Phyllopterini inhabits areas between Mexico and central Argentina, with a few species occurring in the Antilles and a single species introduced in southern USA (Florida) (Cadena-Castañeda, 2015).…”

“…Six species groups are currently recognized within Phylloptera (in brackets the number of species): ancilla species group (5), famula (2), fosteri (11), picta (2), quinquemaculata (5), and socia species group (10), besides seven species that had not been assigned to any of those groups (Cadena-Castañeda, 2015;Cigliano et al, 2020). The separation of these groups relies basically on the coloration of pronotal disc and lateral carinae of pronotum, besides color and position of spots on tegmina (see Cadena-Castañeda, 2015).…”

La tribu Pycnopalpini n. trib. (Orthoptera, Tettigonioidea, Phaneropteridae): segunda contribución a la organización supragenérica de los faneropterinos neotropicales

“…El establecimiento de esta tribu, al igual que los cambios en la nomenclatura de Insarini, realizados por el autor y otros manuscritos en preparación, forma parte de la reevaluación del grupo Turpilae, en el cual se han incluido numerosos taxones que demuestran que los géneros allí incluidos son disímiles. Asimismo, este trabajo forma parte de la reestructuración de la clasificación de los faneropterinos neotropicales (Cadena-Castañeda, 2011, 2012, 2013a, 2013by Cadena-Castañeda & Gorochov, 2012, 2013.…”
