Phalangopsidae crickets (Orthoptera, Grylloidea) from the Mitaraka biological survey, French Guiana

Abstract

The long-legged crickets (Orthoptera, Grylloidea, Phalangopsidae Blanchard, 1845) collected during the 'Our Planet Reviewed' expedition of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris, and Pro-Natura International in 2015 in the Mitaraka region (Tumuc-Humac mountains, French Guiana) are studied. Among the 105 specimens, all collected by sight, 21 species (14 genera) have been identified. They include two new genera and eight new species, all described here: Aracopsis hugeli Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen., n. sp., which calling song is described, close to Phalangopsis Serville, 1831 and

The Phalangopsidae crickets (Orthoptera, Grylloidea) of the Seychelles Archipelago: Taxonomy of an ecological radiation

“…Aclodes Hebard, 1928 andParaclodes Desutter-Grandcolas, 1992 respectively (see Desutter-Grandcolas 1992b. In molecular-based phylogenetic analyses (Chintauan-Marquier et al 2013, 2016Warren et al 2019), Aclodes and Paraclodes constitute a well-separate clade within the Paragryllinae (not the Phalangopsinae), defined elsewhere as the tribe Aclodini Desutter-Grandcolas, 2020 (Desutter-Grandcolas & Faberon 2020). Heterogryllus is presently included in the subtribe Heterogryllina of the subfamily Phalangopsinae (Cigliano et al 2021).…”

“…Phaeophilacris, which constitutes a monophyletic clade, has anyway been accommodated in a different subtribe of the Heterogryllini, the Phaeophilacridina (Gorochov 2020). Following Chintauan-Marquier et al (2013, 2016, Uvaroviella and its nine subgenera have been reviewed and transferred to the tribe Aclodini of the Paragryllinae subfamily (Desutter-Grandcolas & Faberon 2020). Here we remove Phalangacris Bolivar, 1912 andPhaeogryllus Bolivar, 1912 Distribution.…”
