DISTRIBUTION. — Espèce très commune en Guyane, mais pas encore signalée d’autres pays. REMARQUE Espèce à fort dimorphisme sexuel décrite d’après un mâle et trois femelles de Guyane considérés sans preuves formelles comme conspécifiques, ce qui a été contesté par Giglio-Tos (1927: 503-504), lequel a rapporté à tort les femelles à A. cordillerae Saussure, 1869, et donné au mâle le nom nouveau A. chopardi. Les récoltes ultérieures avec un couple in copula ont prouvé que Chopard avait eu raison (Roy 2006a: 332).Published as part of Roy R., 2019, Les mantes (Dictyoptera, Mantodea) du massif du Mitaraka (Guyane), in Touroult J.

No full textParaloxoblemmus angulifrons Chopard (Fig. 2.) Paraloxoblemmus angulifrons Chopard, 1951. Rec. Zool. Bot. Africa 64 (4): p. 305–307. Paraloxoblemmus angulifrons Chopard, 1961. Publ. Cult.Co. Diam. Angola 56: 37. Paraloxoblemmus angulifrons Chopard, 1967. Orth. Cat. 10: 131. The following description translated from Chopard (1951). The author provides the photos of type in NHMLA. This species is rather large in size. Coloration light brown, shiny. Head as wide as pronotum; occiput with 6 yellow short straight stripes, Frontorostrum very long, oblique ventrally, lateral margins straight, convergent, round at apex; a distinct ridge between vertex and rostrum. Face elongate, oblique, feebly concave in lateral aspect. Pronotum wider than long in mid line about 1.5: 1, very slightly wider near apex than at base; anterior margin slightly concave, posterior margin straight, dorsal surface of disc feebly convex, glabrous, light brown, median furrow with yellow stripe; lateral tear-drop markings yellow, fine hairy, covered with brown dots; lateral lobes of pronotum with ventral margin straight, anterior angle rounded, dorsally half brown, ventrally half yellow. Abdomen and cerci brown; subgenital plate large, apical portion with a small carina. Genitalia minute; epiphallus short, truncate at apex (in this respect it is similar to Gryllus domesticus), ventral parts rounded, extremely short, not exceeding the epiphallus in length. Legs brown, relatively short and robust, brown, covering with fine hairs. Fore tibia with large tympanum ovate in outer side, apex with 2 spines; tarsi short; metatarsus less than half the length of other segments, dorsal surface with 2 rows of spines. Middle legs similar to fore legs, longer than fore legs; middle tibia with 4 apical spurs. Hind tibia with long and strong spines, weakly movable, i/o= 7 / 8; ventral apical spurs very long; median spurs slightly longer than dorsal spur and reaching to half of metatarsus; armed with teeth i/o = 1 /7, 2 apical spurs. Tegmen reaching at abdominal segment V, round at apex; anal area very short; mirror oblique quadrate, with one short dividing vein; diagonal vein rather long, straight; chordal veins slightly curved inward, external pair parallel to one another; 2 oblique veins; apical portion very short, reduced to 2 rows of small cells. Wing absent. Specimen examined. 1 male, Repub. Peop. Congo: Lae, Likouala R. Nov. 1981; H. A. Regustens. (Fig 2) The specimen from Los Angeles County Museum was dissected for genitalic examination. (Fig. 2 D). Measurements (in mm): Body length: 26.0. Tegmen length: 10.0. Tegmen width: 10.0. Head length: 10.0. Head width: 6.0. Distance between antennae: 2.0. Distance between eyes: 2.5. Pronotum length: 11.0. Length of hind femora: 21.0. Width of hind femora: 5.0. Length of cerci: 20.0. Karny (1907) measurements as follows (in mm): Body length: 25.0. Frontorostrum: 5.0. Pronotum length: 4.0. Hind femur: 12.8. Hind tibia: 10.0. Tegmen: 7.6. This species seems to be related to Paraloxoblemmus loxoblemmoides Karny, from Sudan. It is different from in its larger size, frontorostrum much more rounded at apex and the tegmina shorter and more blunt. According to Karny (1907) the frontorostrum of Paraloxoblemmus loxoblemmoides is longer than this species (1.9–3.4 mm). Unfortunately, Karny (1907) did not note the condition of the hind tibia spur. Despite this, it seems to be related to Asiatic Loxoblemmus. Distribution.

No full textPhalangopsina Chopard, 1933 Phalangopsina Chopard, 1933 a: 165. Type species. Arachnopsis dubius Bolivar, 1900 Other species included. Phalangopsina palpata Chopard, 1969, P. b o li va r i Desutter-Grandcolas n. sp. and possibly P. d i s c i f e r a Gorochov, 2003 a. Phalangopsina (?) chopardi Desutter-Grandcolas n. sp. and Phalangopsina (?) gravelyi Desutter-Grandcolas n. sp. are tentatively described in the genus Phalangopsina. Remark. The type species of the genus has been tentatively described by Bolivar (1900 (1899)) in the genus Arachnopsis Saussure, 1878 on a series comprising an unspecified number of males and females, deposited in Bolivar’s and Pantel’s collections (now in MNCN and MNHN respectively), and originating from Maduré, Kodaikanal (collectors: Castets, Décoly). Listing the types of Ignacio Bolivar, Mercedes Paris (1994) identified several putative male and female syntypes of P. dubia: one female identified “Arachnop. Dubius ” by Bolivar in Madrid, and one male and 3 females in Paris: 1 / one female labeled “ Type // Arachnopsis dubius // Mission Maduré”; 2 / one female labeled “ Arachnopsis dubius // Kod[aikanal] Dec[oly]“; 3 / one female labeled “Indes Or., P. Castets”; and 4 / one male, from Kod[aikanal] Dec[oly]. The male specimen revealed a Landrevinae and does not fit Bolivar’s description and measurements: it is not considered here as belonging to the original syntypic series; the male syntype mentioned by Bolivar has not been found yet in Pantel’s collection. The four females are considered here syntypes: in order to fix the species name, two conspecific females are designated here Lectotype (MNCN) and Paralectotype (MNHN) of P. dubia; the other two paralectotype females belong to two new species of Phalangopsina described here, P. bolivari Desutter- Grandcolas n. sp. and Phalangopsina (?) chopardi Desutter-Grandcolas n. sp. Known distribution. Southern India. Diagnosis. According to Bolivar (1900), Chopard (1933 a) and type observation: Small to very small species with a wide fastigium (wider than scape) and transverse pronotum (less so in P. (?) chopardi Desutter-Grandcolas, n. sp.). Ocelli arranged in a wide triangle, the distance between the lateral ocelli larger than the distance between the median and one lateral ocelli. Scape as long as wide (Figs 6 A, 8 A), except in P. (?) chopardi Desutter- Grandcolas n. sp. (Fig. 8 H); TI without tympanum. TIII with four pairs of subapical spurs, the outers slightly longer than the inners and set less distally on TIII than inner spurs; three pairs of apical spurs, the dorsal the longest on both sides (Fig. 8 C, D, except in P. (?) chopardi Desutter-Grandcolas n. sp. Fig. 8 I). Male with short, slightly overlapping (P. dubia) or not overlapping (P. d is ci fe r a) FWs, lacking a stridulatory apparatus. Metanotum glandular (P. d i s c i f e r a) or not (P. dubia). TIII spurs not modified. Male genitalia: pseudepiphallic sclerite with a wide median part, more or less reversed overhead, and two long lateral sclerites, clearly articulated in P. dubia; pseudepiphallic parameres very large, concave, making a kind of wide forceps (Fig. 6 D–F); ectophallic apodemes short and wide; ectophallic fold long and narrow, membranous; endophallic sclerite long and thin. Dorsal cavity lacking. Female apterous. Ovipositor longer than FIII. Female genitalia: copulatory papilla large, sclerotized and elongate, with a longer and thinner distal part (except in P. (?) chopardi Desutter-Grandcolas n. sp.). Habitat. Unknown.Published as part of Desutter-Grandcolas, Laure & Jaiswara, Ranjana, 2012, Phalangopsidae crickets from the Indian Region (Orthoptera, Grylloidea), with the descriptions of new taxa, diagnoses for genera, and a key to Indian genera, pp. 1-39 in Zootaxa 3444 on pages 16-17, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20904
