03D62533FFA0912298B47AB7FB50C278.taxon	discussion	Comments. This tribe was originally described as Cratomeli by Brunner von Wattenwyl (1888). Gorochov (1988), raised it to the family rank (Cratomelidae), including as subfamilies Cratomelinae and Anabropsinae (Gorochov 1988, 1995). Sometime later, Johns (1997) established the family Anostostomatidae and proposed the status of a tribe to Cratomelini, including only Cratomelus. Gorochov (2001), in his classification of the superfamily Stenopelmatoidea, raised the rank to subfamily as Cratomelinae, and the same author rectifies his classification and returns this taxon to tribal status (Gorochov 2020). Cratomelini, like the other suprageneric taxa of chevron crickets, usually start as a genus or tribe, passing as a subfamily and, in some cases reaching family status, due to differences in the perspective of the taxonomic status of the authors (Cadena-Castañeda & Cortés-Torres 2013, Cadena-Castañeda & Weissman 2020, Gorochov & Cadena-Castañeda 2016, Johns & Hemp 2015).	en	Cadena-Castañeda, Oscar J., Castañeda, Didier, Garay, Andrea, Rincón, William Fernando (2022): Studies on chevron crickets: Morphological redescription of Chilean red cricket Cratomelus armatus Blanchard, 1851 (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae).

03D62533FFA5912898B478BAFCFAC0E4.taxon	discussion	Comments. The type locality of this species is Chile, with no additional locality data. When compared with the lectotype specimen and the 14 paralectotype specimens (two of these with additional data, collected in Concepción and another from Talcahuano), deposited in the MNHN Paris, they fit the diagnostic characters of the specimens studied here, confirming that phenotypically they belong to the same species. Additionally, we compared specimens deposited in the collections of MFN, NMW, MACN, and type specimens of synonyms of the species such as Cratomelus productus Ander, 1932 (NHRS) and Lencinca ferrugínea Walker, 1870 (BMHN), all also fit the morphological characteristics of our specimens here described.	en	Cadena-Castañeda, Oscar J., Castañeda, Didier, Garay, Andrea, Rincón, William Fernando (2022): Studies on chevron crickets: Morphological redescription of Chilean red cricket Cratomelus armatus Blanchard, 1851 (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae).
