“…In overall size of body the new fossil reaches at least 80 mm in length, referring to the visible preserved portion, while E. martilli is approximately 50.5 mm, being considerably smaller. Overall, most Proscopiids exhibit marked sexual dimorphism, where females are larger than males (Domenico & Bentos-Pereira, 2011). The holotype of E. martilli is recognized as a female, thus the hypothesis that the LP/UFC CRT 2698 is a male of the same species is rejected.…”

A new specimen of a stick grasshopper (Orthoptera: Proscopioidea: Proscopiidae) is described from the Early Cretaceous (Late Aptian -Early Albian) Crato Formation of southern Ceará, northeastern Brazil. This is only the second formal description of Proscopiidae in the fossil Record. Unfortunately, LP/UFC CRT 2698 is poorly preserved as a faint impression due to post-diagenetic processes. However, the discovery of this new taxon enhances the diversity of Proscopiidae in the Gondwana, and it confirms the South America as a dispersion zone for this family.

Proscopiidae (Orthoptera: Caelifera) are grasshoppers found in Central and South America, often mistaken for “true” stick insects (Phasmatodea) due to their stick-like appearance. The family comprises three subfamilies: Hybusinae, Proscopiinae, and Xeniinae, with Hybusinae as the smallest subfamily, housing the genus Hybusa Erichson, which contains four species endemic to Chile. Considering that the most recent comprehensive taxonomic assessment of this genus was conducted approximately three decades ago, herein we redescribe the type species of Hybusa, H. occidentalis (Westwood), based on males and females. The study includes new images of H. occidentalis body and male genitalia, along with a comprehensive pictorial key for all Hybusa species using available type material. Additionally, a morphological comparison between Hybusa and other Proscopiidae taxa is presented.
