The genus Endecous (Orthoptera, Grylloidea, Phalangopsidae), commonly found in caves, comprises more than 20 species, grouped into three subgenera: E. (Endecous), E. (Pedroecous) and E. (Notendecous). In this study, from differences observed mainly in the male genitalia, we describe a new subgenus—Endecous (Ramalhoecous) n. sp.—as well as three new species—E. (R.) infernalis n. sp., E. (E.) zin n. sp. and E. (E.) zaum n. sp.—all of them collected in caves in the Serra do Ramalho region, Northeastern, Brazil. We also briefly discuss some troglomorphisms verified in one of the new species: E. (R.) infernalis n. sp.

Ecological remarks. Specimens of Endecous infernalis n. sp. were found in Baix„o da Canoa cave, located in the municipality of Coribe, and in other two cave systems: the Gruna da Água Clara cave system (ACCS) and Gruna do Pedro Cassiano I cave (Fig. 29), both located in the municipality of Carinhanha, southwestern Bahia state, Brazil. The Água Clara cave system represents a set of functionally interconnected caves of approximately 24 km of extension. It is composed of four limestone caves trespassed by an intermittent stream, active during the austral summer (October until March) (Souza-Silva et al. 2021). The Gruna do Pedro Cassiano I cave (Fig. 29), in turn, is a single 2.660-meter-long cave that does not belong to the ACCS, but it is located near that system (approximately 4 km in a straight line). The Baix„o da Canoa cave was only recently discovered, so it was not yet properly explored. It is safe to say, however, that the surveyed conduits have at least 1.5 km of extension. This cave has a single known entrance, which leads to a crawling conduit that connects to a wide main chamber, representing the main cave conduit, which has an intermittent drainage active during rainy periods. Differently from what is usually observed for most of the Endecous species occurring in Brazilian caves, the caves aforementioned had a very low population density of Endecous infernalis n. sp. Hence, it was relatively hard to find specimens (especially adults) in all the caves in which it occurs. Although practically the entire ACCS has been inventoried for cave invertebrates in a study carried out in 2017 (Souza-Silva et al. 2021), only few specimens were found, mainly in deep and moistened areas within the system. It is noteworthy that the two caves located at the intermediate portion of the ACCS (Gruna dos Índios and Lapa dos Peixes caves) have a quite dry main conduit due to the airflow that comes from the entrances in both sides of their main conduits and trespasses both caves. Because of that, individuals of E. infernalis n. sp. were seldom observed in this intermediate portion of the ACCS, probably due to the unstable climatic conditions of the caves. A second population was observed in the Gruna do Pedro Cassiano I cave in deeper areas within the cave, far from the entrance. Most specimens found in both cave systems were observed freely walking on the cave floor or in the caves’ walls (Figs. 30 and 31). Finally, a third population was recently discovered in the Baix„o da Canoa cave. Again, specimens were only observed in deeper and moistened areas, and, as a result of the low-density population, the individuals were thinly dispersed. A single adult male was collected, despite the sampling efforts employed along the cave. It is important to mention the distance among the Gruna da Água Clara cave system (ACCS), Gruna do Pedro Cassiano I and Baix„o da Canoa cave. While ACCS and Gruna do Pedro Cassiano I cave comprise close systems (entrances located approximately 4 km in a straight line from each other), the Baix„o da Canoa cave is located far from the first two cave systems (22 km in a straight line). All these caves are associated with the main massif of the Serra do Ramalho mountain range, which comprises a large continuous carbonate outcrop that runs from southwest to northeast. Furthermore, the Baix„o da Canoa cave is located at a higher altitude, being associated with a hydrological recharge zone in the landscape, while the ACCS and the Gruna de Pedro Cassiano caves are located at lower altitudes, being associated with the base of the outcrops in hydrological discharge zone. Thus, it is plausible to assume the existence of subterranean connectivity between those systems. An interesting observation was made in a deeper area of the Gruna da Água Clara cave (Part of the ACCS) during an expedition in 2017: an adult male was stridulating while a juvenile female was interacting with its cerci (Fig. 30). Although it was not possible to observe in detail, it seemed that the female was touching the basal region of the male’s cerci, where modified setae (globose setae) can be found, with her mouthparts. In both Grylloidea and Blattodea, club-shaped and globose setae are hypothesized to act as gravity receptors (Nicklaus 1969; Bischof 1975; Horn 1985; Hartman et al. 1987), but, as pointed out by Desutter-Grandcolas (1998a), further neuroethological studies of these insects are necessary to confirm or refute this function. Given the observed behavior, one can hypothesize that such setae may also attract females for mating, functioning eventually as a nuptial gift. Although the SEM images of such setae usually show them flattened, they are, in their natural state, swollen, due to being filled with fluid. Considering that the observed female was immature (the ovipositor was still short and not sclerotized), this behavior could represent an advantage in the case of oligotrophic environments and low-density populations, in which the encounter among specimens may be more infrequent, especially in extensive cave systems such as the ACCS. Nevertheless, such hypotheses deserve further studies in order to confirm or refute it. It is important to mention the troglomorphic traits observed in this species, which will be discussed further on. When compared to other Endecous species (most of which are troglophilic), E. infernalis n. sp. presents reduced eyes and longer legs. Other Endecous species previously considered troglobitic, as E. peruassuensis and E. apterus, presents much less regressive morphological traits than those observed in the species herein described. Bearing in mind the species distribution within the caves it inhabits (always in deeper moist regions) and the quite severe external dry habitat surrounding the caves, it is plausible to assume it is, in fact, a troglobitic (cave-restricted) species. Although Gruna do Pedro Cassiano cave receives local visitors sporadically, such visitors do not reach the cave deepest regions, where the specimens occur. The Gruna da Água Clara cave system, on the other hand, is only visited by speleologists during technical/scientific expeditions, which seldom occur. Such activities apparently do not represent a threat for the species. The Baix„o da Canoa cave was only visited once by the researchers who sampled the cave, thus it is pristinely preserved. The external environment surrounding the caves, however, is severely altered (Fig. 28). Most of the original forests were replaced by pastures or other monocultures. The forests remain only in the top and border of the limestone outcrops, in randomly dispersed patches of vegetation or alongside intermittent drainages. Such impacts may reduce the organic input to the cave ecosystems and increase the silting in all those caves, thus altering several microhabitats of this species., Published as part of Carvalho, Pedro Henrique Mendes, Junta, Vitor Gabriel Pereira, Castro-Souza, Rodrigo Antônio & Ferreira, Rodrigo Lopes, 2023, Three new cricket species and a new subgenus of Endecous Saussure, 1878 (Grylloidea: Phalangopsidae) from caves in northeastern Brazil, pp. 1-39 in Zootaxa 5263 (1) on pages 4-14, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5263.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/7797711, {"references":["Souza-Silva, M., Cerqueira, R.

Ecological remarks. Specimens of Endecous zaum n. sp. were observed in the Serra Verde, Gruna do Enfurnado and Gruna do Zeferini caves. However, many other caves exist in the area (most of them not biologically studied), so it is likely that other populations of E. zaum n. sp. may be found in the future. Serra Verde cave (the type locality) has at least 1,730 meters of horizontal projection, but it is still under exploration, so it might be longer than currently known. Even though the cave has a relatively wide entrance (Fig. 94), there is a constriction in the main conduit around 20 meters from the entrance, which prevents the locals from accessing the cave interior. The conduit that follows this constriction is relatively dry. Nevertheless, there are signs that the runoff water penetrates the cave in rainy periods. Our team visited the cave during the dry season, hence, the substrates were predominantly dry near the entrance. Nonetheless, it is important to mention that galleries became progressively wetter as depth increased, the conduits at the final portion of the cave being drenched in water (Fig. 95). Specimens of E. zaum n. sp. were observed in the humid galleries, far from the entrance, being more frequent in deeper regions of the cave. Individuals were most often seen on the cave floor (Fig. 96). The predominant organic resources were bat guano (especially produced by vampire bats— Desmodus rotundus) and plant debris brought by the water. In previous expeditions, speleologists discovered that the inner conduits partially flood during the rainy season, thus indicating that the water table varies greatly throughout the year. For that reason, it is fair to assume that these crickets probably migrate during rainy seasons to regions closer to the entrance that are not flooded. As aforementioned, the constriction on the conduit close to the entrance of the cave hinders the access of locals to its interior, which in turn guarantees the preservation of the cave’s inner environment. The external landscape, however, is severely altered, especially close to the limestone outcrops, where only a few remnants of the original vegetation can be verified (Fig. 93). Pastures replaced most of the native forests and cattle were observed in the cave surroundings (Fig. 97), compacting the exposed soil, which is highly vulnerable to erosive processes. Additionally, since the cave entrance is located at the bottom of a valley, the external topography ends up contributing to the input of sediments to the cave during rainy periods. The soil denudation in the external landscape can, therefore, intensify erosive processes, increasing the sediment input to the cave, and, consequently, silting up important microhabitats. Accordingly, it is highly recommendable to protect the cave surroundings, especially through the reforestation of the immediate external landscape, to preserve the cave and the species that it harbors. The other two caves where specimens were found (Gruna do Enfurnado and Gruna do Zeferini caves) are quite distinct from each other and from Serra Verde cave, thus indicating the species is quite versatile in occupying different caves. Whilst Zeferini cave is mostly dry (there is only one pond on the cave), the Enfurnado cave is trespassed by a stream. The cave´s sizes are also very distinct: Zeferini cave has around 300 meters, while Enfurnado cave has more than 7.5 km in extension. As observed for the Serra Verde cave, the external surroundings of both the Zeferini and Enfurnado caves are also altered by human activities, especially farming (crops and pastures).

The current work presents the description of a new species for the genus Arachnopsita Desutter-Grandcolas & Hubbell, 1993 from caves in the municipality of Raxruhá, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. The morphology of the phallic complex was used as the main criterion for distinguishing the species. In addition, we present the additional description for Arachnopsita cavicola (Saussure, 1897) and Arachnopsita uncinata Desutter-Grandcolas, 1997 from a new analyzed material. Finally, we present some ecological remarks for all the studied species as well as a brief discussion on troglomorphic traits for the genus.

The genus Erebonyx was proposed to accommodate a single troglobitic species from northeastern Brazil. A second cricket belonging to this genus is herein described, but although it was also found in caves, it does not bear any troglomorphic traits, suggesting it is a troglophilic species. The new species differs from the other species on the genus in the phallic sclerites, presence of developed eyes (with ommatidia), pigmented integument, and the presence of stridulatory file on the tegmina. In addition, we present the description of the external morphology, together with the staining and description of tegmina. Finally, we present a brief discussion regarding its habitat, distribution and possible conservation actions for the species.

Bambuina zikani Souza-Dias & Borille n. sp. Figs. 1–4 Etymology. Species named after Joseph Francisco Zikán (1881–1949), a Czech entomologist who greatly contributed to the knowledge of the Brazilian insect fauna in the first half of the last century. Zikán conducted expeditions to collect insects in several localities of the Atlantic Forest, mainly in the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia (Itatiaia National Park) area, where he worked as a naturalist for many years. During his lifetime, Zikán assembled large collections, mainly Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Hymenoptera, which are now housed at the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC) (Rio de Janeiro). Type locality.

The knowledge of bioacoustics of the Neotropical crickets (Orthoptera, Gryllidea) is incipient, despite the great species diversity in the region. There are few cricket song-files deposited in the major World Sound Libraries, compared to other groups such as birds and amphibians. In order to contribute to the knowledge of the bioacoustics of Brazilian crickets, we organize, analyze and make available at Fonoteca Neotropical Jacques Vielliard (FNJV) and Orthoptera Species File (OSF) our bank of cricket songs. We deposited 876 cricket’s song files in the FNJV, belonging to 31 species and 47 sonotypes. The songs were field/lab recorded, and all individuals were collected to improve species/sonotypes taxonomic determination accuracy. We present photos (in vivo) of most recorded crickets, as well as calling song spectrograms to facilitate the species/sonotype recognition. Samples of the songs can be found online on the FNJV website, using the codes available in this work, as well as on the OSF, linked to the species name. As a result, we advance the knowledge of the songs of crickets and the current perspective of the Brazilian cricket bioacoustics. We encourage researchers to share with the public their collections of their cricket file songs both in the FNJV and the OSF.

Phalangopsis mimbypysara n. sp. is described from specimens collected in natural cavities in the region of Altamira and Vitória do Xingu, state of Pará, Brazil. Phalangopsis gaudichaudi Saussure, 1874 is considered nomen dubium. We provide new data about biology, distribution, habitat selection, morphology, and natural history of the genus Phalangopsis.

The Phalangopsidae crickets (Grylloidea) of the Seychelles are examined following extensive field sampling on several main islands of the archipelago (Mahé, Silhouette, Praslin, La Digue). Despite the small area of these islands, six genera (12 species) are documented, including one new genus and five new species. The type species of the genus Seychellesia Bolivar, 1912 is transferred to the genus Paragryllodes Karny, 1909 as Paragryllodes nitidula (Bolivar, 1912) n. comb. The other species described in Seychellesia are transferred to the genus Seselia Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen., as Seselia longicercata (Bolivar, 1912) n. comb. and Seselia patellifera (Bolivar, 1912) n. comb. Two new species are also described in the genus Seselia Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen., Seselia coccofessei Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen., n. sp. (type species of the genus) and Seselia matyoti Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen., n. sp. The genera Phaeogryllus Bolivar, 1912 and Phalangacris Bolivar, 1895 are redescribed, including Phalangacris ferlegro Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. sp. and Phalangacris sotsote Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. sp. that are new to science. The genus Gryllapterus Bolivar, 1912 is redescribed and transferred from the Landrevinae (Gryllidae) to the Cachoplistinae (Phalangopsidae). New tribes are defined for the genus Paragryllodes (Paragryllodini Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. tribe) on the one hand, and for Seselia Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen., Phalangacris, Phaeogryllus and Gryllapterus (Seselini Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. tribe) on the other, using morphological characters and the results of molecular phylogenetic studies (Warren et al. 2019). Phaloria (Papuloria) insularis (Bolivar, 1912) (Phaloriinae) is redescribed and restricted to Mahé, and its calling song is documented for the first time, while Phaloria (Papuloria) bolivari Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. sp. is newly described from Silhouette. Identification keys are proposed for the genera of Seselini Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. tribe, and for the species of Seselia Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen. and Phalangacris. The confusion between the Mogoplistidae Ornebius succineus Bolivar, 1912 and the Phalangopsidae Heterotrypus succineus Bolivar, 1910 is discussed, and the name Subtiloria succineus (Bolivar, 1912) considered a nomen nudum.; Les grillons Phalangopsidae (Grylloidea) des Seychelles sont étudiés sur la base d'un échantillonnage intensif sur plusieurs îles principales de l'archipel (Mahé, Silhouette, Praslin, La Digue). Malgré la petite taille de ces îles, six genres (12 espèces) sont documentés, dont un genre nouveau et cinq espèces nouvelles. L'espèce type du genre Seychellesia Bolivar, 1912 est transférée dans le genre Paragryllodes Karny, 1909 en tant que Paragryllodes nitidula (Bolivar, 1912) n. comb. Les autres espèces décrites dans Seychellesia sont transférées dans le genre Seselia Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen., en tant que Seselia longicercata (Bolivar, 1912) n. comb. et Seselia patellifera (Bolivar, 1912) n. comb. Le genre Seselia Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen. comprend d'autre part Seselia coccofessei Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen., n. sp. (espèce type du genre) et Seselia matyoti Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen., n. sp. Les genres Phaeogryllus Bolivar, 1912 et Phalangacris Bolivar, 1895 sont redécrits, Phalangacris ferlegro Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. sp.et Phalangacris sotsote Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. sp. sont nouveaux pour la science. Le genre Gryllapterus Bolivar, 1912 est redécrit et transféré des Landrevinae (Gryllidae) aux Cachoplistinae (Phalangopsidae). Des tribus nouvelles sont définies pour le genre Paragryllodes (Paragryllodini Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. tribu) d'une part, et pour Seselia Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen., Phalangacris, Phaeogryllus et Gryllapterus (Seselini Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. tribu) d'autre part, sur la base de la morphologie et des données de phylogénie moléculaire (Warren et al. 2019). Phaloria (Papuloria) insularis (Bolivar, 1912) (Phaloriinae) est finalement redécrite de Mahé, et son chant d'appel documenté pour la première fois, tandis que Phaloria (Papuloria) bolivari Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. sp. est nouvellement décrite de Silhouette. Des clés d'identification sont proposées pour les genres de Seselini Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. tribu, ainsi que pour les espèces de Seselia Hugel & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen. et Phalangacris. La confusion entre Ornebius succineus Bolivar, 1912 (Mogoplistidae) et Heterotrypus succineus Bolivar, 1910 (Phalangopsidae) est discutée, et le nom Subtiloria succineus (Bolivar, 1912) considéré comme un nomen nudum.

Tribe Aclodini Desutter-Grandcolas, 1992 Comments. This tribe was proposed by Desutter-Grandcolas (1992), initially as the group “Aclodae”, including Aclodes Hebard, 1928, Paraclodes Desutter-Grandcolas, 1992 and Uvaroviella Chopard, 1923. The author defines the group and suggests that two species of Heterogryllus Saussure, 1874, H. crassicornis Saussure, 1878, and H. bordoni Chopard, 1970, were located in Aclodes and Paraclodes, respectively. Desutter-Grandcolas (1992), mentions that Heterogryllus only includes H. ocellaris Saussure, 1874, represented by a female collected in Brazil, without precise locality, and that, due to its morphological characteristics, it should be included in Neoaclini (sensu Desutter 1987). Nischk & Otte (2000) described several taxa for Ecuador, one species for Paraclodes and three species for Aclodes. Otte (2006) describes five additional species from Costa Rica. Otte & Perez-Gelabert (2009) added 16 species to Uvaroviella, distributed on several Caribbean islands. Subsequently, several taxa described by the above authors will be reassigned to other genera or synonymized, and not all species will retain their original combinations. Gorochov (2007) proposed that the Aclodae group comprises a single genus. Uvaroviella, the oldest genus, retained generic status, the others as subgenera: four originally described as genera (Acla Hebard, 1928, Aclodes, Paraclodes, and Uvaroviella s.s.) and five as new subgenera (Subacla, Euacla, Reacla, Holacla, and Topacla). The same author adds six species in Uvaroviella s.l., and keeps this taxon in the tribe Phalangopsini; for Paragryllini, it gives a new status, including subtribes described as tribes by Desutter (Paragryllina s.s., Neoaclina and Strogulomorphina). This contribution initiated some synonymization of taxa described by Otte and other authors (Gorochov 2011). Gorochov (2014) proposed a classification for the Phalangopsinae subfamily group. Uvaroviella and Heterogryllus are included in the subtribe Heterogryllina (Phalangopsini), sugesting the probable relationship between both taxa, and indicating that Aclodae is probably junior synonym of Heterogryllina (Gorochov 2014, 2015). Desutter-Grandcolas (2014) officially proposed Acla, as a synonym of Aclodes, something that apparently was missing in the author’s contribution of 1992, where A. crassicornis (Saussure, 1878) is included in Aclodes, without any formal nomenclatural act. Recently, Desutter-Grandcolas & Faberon (2020) revalidated and elevated Aclodini (=Aclodae) to tribal status and provided the initial opinion on the position of Heterogryllus and the non-relationship with the other Aclodini (Desutter-Grandcolas 1992). Likewise, they contrast with the Chintauan-Marquier et al. (2016) molecular study and other unpublished studies, highlighting that the Aclodini are a well-defined monophyletic clade within the Paragryllinae, thus supporting the new tribal status (Desutter-Grandcolas 2014, Desutter-Grandcolas & Faberon 2020). Also, they morphologically redefine Aclodini, returning to the 1992 classification, assigning generic status to Aclodes and Paraclodes, and synonymizing all the subgenera proposed by Gorochov (2007). They emphasize the incomplete study of morphological characters and that monophyly was not reflected in Gorochov’s proposal (Desutter-Grandcolas & Faberon 2020). As noted in the history of the classification of the Aclodae / Aclodini / Heterogryllina, cricket taxonomy remains in constant debate and turmoil. At the Neotropical level, it is based on the classification proposed either by Desutter-Grandcolas or Gorochov. Based on the author a tribe can be a genus or subtribe, and according to the opinion of some other authors the taxa can be in different subfamilies (Cadena-Castañeda & Tíjaro 2020, Cadena-Castañeda & García García 2020, Cadena-Castañeda et al. 2021b)., Published as part of Cadena-Castañeda, Oscar J., Quintana-Arias, Ronald Fernando, Rodríguez, Diana Marcela Tru- Jillo, Sarmiento, Juan Pablo Prias & Castellanos-Morales, Cesar A., 2022, Studies on Neotropical crickets: Aclodes paz n. sp. a new phalangopsid cricket (Orthoptera: Phalangopsidae) from the Santander caves, Colombia, pp. 568-580 in Zootaxa 5141 (6) on page 570, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.6.3, http://zenodo.org/record/6598032, {"references":["Hebard, M.

But we also want to dedicate the name of this species to the desire for peace of Colombians and many people from other countries, who have various conflicts in their territories. We keep “ paz ” as a specific epithet for the type locality, but it also means peace in Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, coming from the Latin “ Pax ”. Description. Male. Mid-sized (Figs. 1A,B).

Measurements (in mm.). male/female: LB: 22–25/20–27. Pr: 3.5–4/4–4.5. Teg: 6–7/1–1.5. HF: 15–18/15– 19. HT: 17–20/17–20. Ov: 12–15. Comparison. Aclodes paz n. sp. is related to some species included in the subgenus Euacla (sensu Gorochov, 2007). Regarding the genitalia, the closest species is Aclodes chamocoru Nischk & Otte, 2000, which differs from the new species. Its tegmina cover the abdomen, and the harp has nine; the mirror is subovoid, wider than long, and crossed with two veins. In contrast, A. paz n. sp. has four or five veins on the harp, the mirror is subtriangular and with reticulate veins. The Ps.al. of A. chamocoru, is conical, and Ps.p. without ventral accessory extension; En.s. is tubuliform, and Ec.f. it does not expand, and difference in the connection area of these two structures. Comments. The specimens of the type series are slightly variable in size, as has been observed for other species of the genus. But one of the males from the “Colombian Hole” is unusually small. This male has all diagnostic characteristics to be identified as A. paz n. sp., such as wing venation and genital structure. Measurements of this specimen were not included in the species measurement ranges previously provided and are included below. Measurements (in mm.). LB: 14. Pr: 3. Teg: 6. HF: 12. HT: 13. Ecological data from type cave. The cave La Cuchara —2 is situated around four kilometers east from the La Paz town, on the eastern side of the Colombian Andean Mountain range. An area of different sedimentary lithostratigraphic units from the Cretaceous age, which are gathered in the formations: Rosablanca, Paja, Tablazo, Simiti and Luna (Medoza-Parada et al. 2009). The La Cuchara cave has a circular-shaped entrance of around 1.5 meters with narrow, rocky, passageways, stalagmites, and stalactites few developed were observed. Inside the cave, there is a narrow stream with shallow pools forms. The bottom of each well is rocky and contains abundant fine sediment. The water temperature was 17.9°C, the cave temperature 18.1°C, and the water pH was 6.7. The fauna is scarce; there were a few colonies of bats (cf. Carollia sp.) inhabiting the cave ceiling. The base of the food chain is probably limited to crickets and their predators, spiders. Crickets usually occupy the middle and upper parts of rocky cave walls, where they form groups of varying sizes and different stages of development (Fig. 6). This cave has not as yet been registered in any recent speleological inventory of Santander (Castellanos-Morales & Moreno 2018, Dulcey-Ulloa & Lasso 2019)., Published as part of Cadena-Castañeda, Oscar J., Quintana-Arias, Ronald Fernando, Rodríguez, Diana Marcela Tru- Jillo, Sarmiento, Juan Pablo Prias & Castellanos-Morales, Cesar A., 2022, Studies on Neotropical crickets: Aclodes paz n. sp. a new phalangopsid cricket (Orthoptera: Phalangopsidae) from the Santander caves, Colombia, pp. 568-580 in Zootaxa 5141 (6) on pages 571-576, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.6.3, http://zenodo.org/record/6598032, {"references":["Gorochov, A.

Aclodes paz n. sp. a new troglophilous species from the caves of the municipalities of La Paz and San Vicente del Chucurí, Santander, is described. An overview of the taxonomic history of the tribe Aclodini and the genus Aclodes is provided, to understand the recent taxonomic changes in the group. The species is named in honor of La Paz’s municipality and the desire of Colombians and other inhabitants of the world who have conflicts in their territories (the cricket of peace). Finally, the habitat and taxonomy of the genus are discussed.

Genus Aclodes Hebard, 1928 Comments. This genus is very speciose, and currently includes 35 species, with a wide distribution from Costa Rica to Peru and northern South America, with a presence on a couple of islands near Venezuela (Cigliano et al. 2022). It differs from the morphologically similar genus Paraclodes, in that the males have the tegmina projecting from the middle of the abdomen onwards and with strong parallel longitudinal veins. The females are distinguished by their tegmina, often reaching the first abdominal tergite posterior margin (Desutter-Grandcolas 1992), except Aclodes cryptos (Nischk & Otte 2000), with the tegmina reaching the middle of the abdomen. Uvaroviella, is a Caribbean genus with 17 species that need to be re-studied. Possibly, the three continental species still included in Uvaroviella, which are only known from their females, should be included in the future in Aclodes, after finding the respective males that allow their generic affiliation to be identified. For Colombia, Hebard (1928) mentions the presence of Aclodes maculatum (Caudell 1918), described initially from Peru but with notable morphological differences. Hebard, at that time, did not study the internal genitalia; it was not a common practice of the time for the descriptions of Orthoptera. Perhaps with the study of the male genitalia it will be possible to resolve this problem, with the tegmina moderately developed, as occurs in many recently described species. Recently, Cadena-Castañeda et al. (2016) recorded the presence of Aclodes nebulosa (Gorochov, 2007) (then known as Uvaroviella (Holacla) nebulosa Gorochov, 2007), in the Rio Ñambi Nature Reserve, south of the department of Nariño. This is the only species with a reliable and confirmed record for Colombia. Now the second species of Aclodes for the country is described, coming from the caves of the Andes in northern Colombia., Published as part of Cadena-Castañeda, Oscar J., Quintana-Arias, Ronald Fernando, Rodríguez, Diana Marcela Tru- Jillo, Sarmiento, Juan Pablo Prias & Castellanos-Morales, Cesar A., 2022, Studies on Neotropical crickets: Aclodes paz n. sp. a new phalangopsid cricket (Orthoptera: Phalangopsidae) from the Santander caves, Colombia, pp. 568-580 in Zootaxa 5141 (6) on pages 570-571, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.6.3, http://zenodo.org/record/6598032, {"references":["Hebard, M.

Known only to Explosão cave (6º 25’ 19.301” S; 48º 24’ 34.880” W) municipality of Xambioá, Tocantins state, Brazil. Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the municipality of Xambioá, Tocantins state, where the species was found. Diagnosis. Combination of the following characteristics: superior inner base of paramere 1 more rounded (Ps.P1, Figs 26 and 28) (compared to A. lucifugus and A. ferratilis n. sp.), inner basal margin from paramere 1 with dilatation more pronounced (ventral, diagonal and front view) (Ps.P1.p, Figs 25, 28 and 29) (compared to A. lucifugus and A. ferratilis n. sp.); paramere 2 slightly dilated toward paramere 1 (dorsal view) (Ps.P2, Fig. 25); rami elongated and poorly sclerotized (R, Figs 25, 27 and 29); ectophallic fold poorly sclerotized, lateral border slightly towards outside (Ec.F, Fig. 26); endophallic sclerite underdeveloped (End.Sc, Fig. 26). Description, male holotype. Similar to A. ferratilis n. sp. with the following differences: body dark brown with head orange (in vivo) (Fig. 45) (body pale dark brown and head pale yellow after fixation in ethanol 70%) (Figs 30–37); compound eyes were depigmented due to ethanol fixation (comparation between figs 30 and 45, same individual); pronotum pale dark brown, poorly marked with a whitish vertical and without horizontal median band, two small symmetrical diagonal white spots near the distal portion (Fig. 32); Right tegmen: less sclerotized, covering the first five abdominal tergites (Fig. 33). Lateral field (in lateral view, Figs 33 and 42): diagonal vein (DV), subcostal (SC) and radial (R) with poorly marked irregular veins. Field (in ventral view, Fig. 41): harp with a median-longitudinal vein (L) more toward out, and four crossed veins (Hcv), the first forms a small cell, below curbital 2 (Cu2); mirror with a narrower proximal part of triangular shape, with two crossed veins (Mcv), unbranched; subgenital and supra-anal plates dark brown, shapes changed after fixation in ethanol (Figs 35–37); stridulatory file with 94 teeth. Observations in holotype phallic sclerites: Similar to A. ferratilis n. sp. with the following differences: phallic complex less sclerotized (Figs 25–29). Pseudepiphallic: superior inner base of paramere 1 more rounded (ventral view) (Ps.P1, Fig 26), inner basal margin from paramere 1 with a dilatation more pronounced (ventral, diagonal and front view) (Ps.P1.p, Figs 25, 28 and 29); paramere 2 slightly dilated toward paramere 1 (dorsal view) (Ps.P2, Fig. 25); rami poorly sclerotized (R, Figs 25, 27 and 29). Ectophallic invagination: posterior projections poorly sclerotized and quadrangular-shaped (similar to A. lucifugus) (Ec.Pr, Fig. 26); ectophallic fold poorly sclerotized, lateral border slightly towards outside (Ec.F, Fig. 26). Endophallus: endophallic sclerite underdeveloped (End.Sc, Fig. 26). Ecological Remarks The single observed specimen of Adelosgryllus xambioa n. sp. was found in the Explosão cave, which is a marble cave with 1203 meters of horizontal projection. A quarry that used to remove marble from the outcrop led to the collapse of the main cave entrance. Therefore, in order to access the cave, one should enter through a small opening located at the base of the outcrop, leading to a very narrow passage (Fig. 43). The floor along most part of the cave is covered with sediments (Fig. 44), although a few fallen blocks are also present. The organic resources in the cave are especially bat guano produced by several bat species although deposits produced by hematophagous bats are the most common. Additionally, vegetal debris transported by water during strong rains also occur in some areas. The cave is devoid of any regular water flow, but several areas can be partially flooded during the rainy period. The single collected specimen was observed freely walking on the cave floor (Fig. 45), close to a guano pile. It is important to mention that the cave was not entirely surveyed during our sampling, since a flashflood occurred forcing the team to quickly leave the cave. Accordingly, there is no information regarding the size of the species’ population and its density inside the cave. The region presents a climate Aw5 (according to the Köppen classification system), with an average annual precipitation of 1558 mm and an average annual temperature of 26.3ºC. The external area is altered, especially due to the removal of the natural vegetation and its replacement by Eucalyptus plantations. However, secondary forest surrounds the outcrop where the cave is located. As for the other species herein described, the epigean environments surrounding the cave were not sampled, so it is currently impossible to determine the habitat preference for this species. It is important to mention that despite the fact that the species was only found inside a cave, it does not exhibit any troglomorphic traits, thus not being a cave-restricted species. Since the external area was not sample, it is likely that the species’ distribution is much wider than currently known.

Ecological Remarks Specimens of Adelosgryllus ferratilis n. sp. were found in Curionópolis municipality, Pará state, Brazil. The caves where specimens were observed are located in an area regionally known as “Serra Leste”. This area presents several iron-ore caves, but also some quartzite caves. The species was observed in several caves in the area, especially those ferruginous. Such caves are usually small (few dozens of meters) and several cavities only comprises rock shelters, without aphotic areas. The main organic resources observed in those caves is the bat guano and vegetable organic debris, deposited by wind or water. Although the area was originally covered by a tropical rainforest (Amazon rainforest), it is currently highly impacted, by both the replacement of the forests by pastures and by mining activities. The populations of A. ferratilis n. sp. are usually small inside the caves, so that the species may use the caves only sporadically. However, since the external environments were not sampled, it is currently impossible to establish the actual distribution of this species (Figs 20–24).

Body of same coloration to holotype, head more dark orange than males (Fig. 90), body size bigger than the holotype (9.272 mm); small wings triangular-shaped (Fig. 90); supra-anal plate darkened, trapezoidal-shaped, with two small lateral projections, rounded at apex, with long apical bristles (Figs 92 and 93); subgenital plate darkened, short, V-shaped (Figs 91 and 92); ovipositor well sclerotized, elongated and thin (3.970 mm), size proportional to tibia III, sword format at apex (Figs 90–92 and 94–96). Copulatory Papilla. lost during clarification procedure in potassium hydroxide (KOH). Ecological Remarks Specimens of Adelosgryllus endogeus n. sp. were found in Pains municipality, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The individuals were sampled by a set of subterranean traps buried in the soil, installed to collect surface subterranean fauna. These traps consist of plastic pots interconnected by a central rod (Fig. 100) and introduced into PVC pipes with perforations every 10 cm. Each set of perforations in the pipes allow only the organisms from each stratum to fall into each pot, as each pot is internally coupled to the pipe in order to prevent access to the other levels. At each sampling point, three sets of traps were installed (Fig. 99), totaling thirty collection pots per point (three pots at each level, starting at 5 cm and along the area, always in places close to cave entrances. The traps were inspected monthly, when the contents (4% formalin containing the collected invertebrates) were removed and replaced. Along the 12 months of the project, 2,160 samples of different depth were obtained. Even with this sampling effort, only two specimens of A. endogeus n. sp. were collected, both at the same point (Figs 97 and 98). The holotype (male) was the first to be collected, between April and May 2021. As the traps remained in the field for about a month, it is not possible to determine the exact date of collection. The female was sampled in the next interval, in the exact location of the male. Both specimens were trapped at 45 cm deep in the soil (Figs 101 and 102). It is interesting noting that although many caves in the area have been sampled along the last is important karstic province years, specimens of A. endogeus n. sp. were never observed, thus suggesting that they might be preferably associated to soil interstitials. The reduced size of this species (which is smaller than all the congeners) corroborate this hypothesis, although it is also important to conduct samplings in other epigean substrates in the area in order to determine the distribution of this species., Published as part of Merlo, Rayanne Lays Sant'Ana, Castro-Souza, Rodrigo Antônio, Junta, Vitor Gabriel Pereira & Ferreira, Rodrigo Lopes, 2022, Expanding the taxonomic knowledge of Adelosgryllus Mesa & Zefa, 2004 (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Phalangopsidae): description of four new species for Brazilian subterranean habitats, pp. 83-109 in Zootaxa 5133 (1) on pages 102-107, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5133.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6521377, {"references":["Correa, R.

Observations in Paratypes. Male phallic sclerites: Similar to A. ferratilis n. sp. with the following differences: phallic complex less sclerotized, but more sclerotized than A. xambioa n. sp. (Figs 46–50); Pseudepiphallic: superior inner base of paramere 1 quadrangular-shaped with slight bulging (ventral view) (Ps.P1, Fig. 47); paramere 2 slightly inclined towards pseudepiphallic median projection (dorsal view) (Ps.P2, Fig. 46); rami dilated, acuminate apex and poorly sclerotized (very similar to A. spurius) (R, Figs 47, 48 and 50); Ectophallic invagination: posterior projections poorly sclerotized, quadrangular-shaped, a little less developed compared to A. lucifugus and A. xambioa n. sp. (Ec.Pr, Fig. 50); ectophallic fold well sclerotized, lateral border slightly towards outside (Ec.F, Fig. 47). Endophallus: endophallic sclerite slightly less sclerotized (End.Sc, Fig. 26).

Copulatory Papilla (Fig. 51: a, b and c, ISLA 64165): well sclerotized, circular-shaped (similar to A. lucifugus), with an extensive opening, in the half moon shape, reaching more than 2/3 of the structure in dorsal view (Fig. 51c); lateral face sclerotized (similar to A. lucifugus) (Fig. 51b), apex slightly concave, with a ventral indentation followed by a less sclerotized region (in white), base with a large membranous opening half moon shape in ventral view (Fig. 51a). Ecological Remarks Since the specimens of Adelosgryllus megapterus n. sp. were not collected by any of the authors of this study, there is no information regarding its habitat preferences. However, as for other species herein described, despite the fact that the species was only found inside a cave, it does not exhibit any troglomorphic traits, thus not being a caverestricted species. Accordingly, it is likely that the species’ distribution is much wider than currently known.

Copulatory papilla elongated and cone shaped, narrowing ventraly, dorsally and lateral margins towards at apex (Fig. 51, a-c); with an oval opening near the apex at ventral view (Fig. 51, a). Ecological Remarks: Individuals of both Arachnopsita cavicola (Fig. 72) and A. uncinata (Fig. 73) were observed in some caves in the Lanqu��n region, exibiting simpatric populations in at least two caves (Gruta de Lanqu��n and Cueva Chipix caves). In the Cueva Coral cave, only specimens of A. uncinata were found. Individuals of both species were only observed in aphotic areas of the caves, but not necessarily far from entrances. They were mostly observed walking on speleothems, usually on the cave��s walls. The organic resources occurring in those caves were bat guano, which, in some cases, was represented by huge deposits (as in the innermost part of the Gruta de Lanqu��n cave), and vegetal debris brought by streams (as the case of the Cueva Chipix cave) (Pacheco et al. 2020). It is interesting noting that the population densities of both species are quite reduced, contrarily to what is usually observed for many key cave cricket species (Lavoie et al. 2007). Individuals of both species were randomly observed inside the caves, and no aggregation was observed in any cave. Furthermore, there seems not to occur any segregation among the species populations within the cave, both occurring in simpatry. Curiously, even in the big bat guano pile located in the Gruta de Lanquin cave, only few specimens were found, contrasting with hundreds of cockroaches and millipedes. In the Cueva Chipix cave, only few bat guano piles were observed, and the main organic resource occurring in the cave was vegetal debris brought by the stream which sinks in the cave. Hence, it seems that both species are opportunistic feeders, foraging any available organic debris occurring in caves. The main predator of both cricket species, which were observed in all caves in the region, was the phrynid amblypygid Paraphrynus williamsii Moreno, 1940. The Lanquin region represents one of the most important tourist destinations in Guatemala, presenting some astonishing landscapes (Figs 68 and 69). Among the touristic destinations, the caves are highly sought after. The region presents a national park created in 1955 (Grutas de Lanqu��n National Park) which receives a large number of visitors during the whole year (Dreux 1974; Dudeck 2000). This park virtually covers only the external immediate surroundings of the Gruta de Lanqu��n cave (Figs 70 and 71), which is highly explored touristically, albeit without presenting almost any control of the touristic influx inside the cave (Pacheco et al. 2020). Despite the uncontrolled tourism in the Gruta de Lanqu��n cave, both species seem not to be threatened, since only part of the cave is used for touristic purposes. Furthermore, both species were recorded in other caves, and considering that there are dozens of caves in the area, populations are probably widespread. However, it is important to highlight that agriculture might represent a concern, since several areas were deforested for crops, some of them in the surroundings of caves (Fig. 74). Considering that both species are troglophilic, it is likely that external populations do exist, that may act connecting cave populations. Thus, it is advisable to both protect some caves as their surroundings, especially those presenting bigger populations., Published as part of Junta, Vitor Gabriel Pereira, Castro-Souza, Rodrigo Ant��nio & Ferreira, Rodrigo Lopes, 2022, A new species of Arachnopsita (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Phalangopsidae) from caves in Guatemala, pp. 409-434 in Zootaxa 5094 (3) on pages 424-431, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5094.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/5974200, {"references":["Desutter-Grandcolas, L.

Arachnopsita maya n. sp. Ecological Remarks: Individuals of Arachnopsita maya n. sp. were found in 4 caves in the Raxruhá municipality (Cúpula de los Murcielagos, Cueva Blanca, Cueva el Rostro and Cueva del Venado caves). Specimens were also preferentially observed in dark zones, as for A. cavicola and A. uncinata, although few specimens were found in twilight zones. The populational densities are very low, and immature specimens are more easily found. Cúpula de los Murcielagos (Fig. 75) and Cueva Blanca (Fig. 76) caves present some touristic activity, although only guided groups enter such caves. Furthermore, tourist activities are restricted to some areas of those caves, thus keeping other areas preserved. Cueva del Venado and Cueva el Rostro caves do not present touristic use. The higher densities were observed in the later caves, thus indicating that the presence of human visitors (even occasional) may drive specimens off those caves or eventually reduce their densities, although this is speculative, thus deserving further research. The specimens were observed in both speleothems and cave floor. The main organic resources observed in all caves was bat guano, although some vegetal debris (especially brought by wind) were also observed in some caves, mostly in areas closer to entrances. It is likely that A. maya n. sp. also feed in several organic debris, as for other cave crickets, being an opportunistic detritivore. The main predator of this species is also the phrynid amblypygid Paraphrynus williamsii Moreno, 1940, observed in several caves in the area. The external forests surrounding the caves are well preserved mainly over the “Mogotes” (steep-sided residual hills of carbonate rock surrounded by alluvial plains) and their immediate surroundings (Fig. 74). In most of the areas in between the mogotes, there are crops or pastures. Considering that this species is troglophilic (as A. cavicola and A. uncinata), external populations certainly do exist, being also advisable to both protect some caves as their surroundings.

Here, we contribute to the study of the subtribe Paragryllina, recovering as valid, taxa previously described as subfamilies or tribes of Paragryllidae (currently considered as a synonym of Phalangopsidae), but which are well delimited and can be considered as genera groups of Paragryllina: Paragryllae n. stat., Rumeae n. stat., and Benoistellae n. stat.. Alfarogryllus n. gen. is described to accommodate Eneoptera panoplos. Paragryllus is divided into three subgenera: Paragryllus s.s., Melloius n. subgen., and Souzaius n. subgen.. Paragryllus (Paragryllus) lyrae n. sp. (from southern Costa Rica) is described. Paragryllus cocos is considered as nomen nudum; Paragryllus arima n. syn. is synonymized under Paragryllus insolitus and transferred to the genus Ectecous, as the new combination Ectecous insolitus n. comb.; Eneoptera spodios n. syn. is synonymized under Lerneca digrediens, remaining only the Eneoptera species known before the contribution by Otte (2006). Dambachia is included in the subtribe Paragryllina. This genus stands out for the modification of its subapical spur of the hind tibia and its asymmetric genitalia. Keys for the genera and genera groups of Paragryllina, and subgenera of Paragryllus are provided. Finally, the taxonomy of Neotropical crickets is discussed.
