摘要:

The grasshopper genusChondracrisUvarov 1923 is revised for the first time in its entirety. On the evidence of the morphology of the phallic complex, the Afrotropical species formerly attributed to the genus are shown not to be congeneric with those occurring in Asia and the Far East. the new genusRitchiellais erected to accommodate the five Afrotropical species:R. baumanni(Karsch 1986),R. sanguinea(Sjöstedt 1912),R. asperata(Bolívar 1881),R. uvarovi(Sjöstedt 1924) and a new species,R. rungwensisfrom Southern Tanzania. The genusChondracrisis restricted to the oriental region and a new species, C.bengalensis, is described from the Indian subcontinent. Evidence of dry season dormancy in the eggs ofR. sanguineais presented.

摘要:

PseudotrogulusRoewer 1932, described from Amazonia as a cranaine Gonyleptidae, is newly reported from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, where it is represented by the type species,P. tellurisandPseudotrogulus mirimnew species, herein described. These, along with the two monotypic generaMultumboRoewer 1927, andPiassageraRoewer 1928, are the only Cranainae recorded from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. A review of these three presumed cranaine genera suggests they are only superficially similar to the Cranainae, and are instead related to the Gonyleptinae. therefore they are newly referred to this subfamily. in the same way,StygnobatesMello-Leitõ 1927, also from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, and currently included in the Andean Stygnicranainae, is shown to be more closely related to the progonyleptoidellinae. a closer relationship among Gonyleptinae, Hernandariinae, Progonyleptoidellinae, Caelopyginae and Sodreaninae is suggested, based on genital morphology.

摘要:

Trichotowithius abyssinicusBeier 1944, a bark-inhabiting pseudoscorpion from Ethiopia, is re-described from near-topotypes, withTrichotowithius elgonensisBeier 1955, known from Kenya, being its subjective junior synonym (syn. nov.!). Judged from a whole set of generic characters, including its genital structure, the now monobasic genusTrichotowithiusBeier 1944, appears to be well isolated amongst the withiidae.
