Willemse 1966	<div><p>Philmontis C. Willemse, 1966</p> <p>Figures 1–8, map 1</p> <p>Typus generis: Philmontis nigrofasciatus C. Willemse, 1966 by original designation.</p> <p>Generic diagnosis. Mainly medium sized, but also small and few moderately large species. Pronotum prolonged, in males covering stridulatory area when at rest, in females little more than anterior margin of tegmen; lateral lobes very narrow. Prosternal spines short, rarely absent. Hind femur with spines only on anterior (external) margin and hind knee lobes with only a single spine. Male last abdominal tergite with a more or less pronounced incision from apical margin; male cerci in most species with partly excavated internal surface and often with incurved apical area; male subgenital plate terminating into a pair of long and narrow apical projections with a stylus at end; male titillators terminating into a small disc-shaped plate. Stridulatory file on underside of left male tegmen in most species with a prolonged apical area of indistinct minute teeth. Female ovipositor curved and gradually narrowing to acute tip; female subgenital plate with distinct lateral extensions at base, and with the plate terminating into a pair of long apical lobes varying from narrow with acute tip to wide with obtuse end. The differences compared to Philmontoides gen. nov. described below are already specified in introduction.</p> <p>Description. Small, medium sized or moderately large species. Antennae long, reaching far behind body. Fastigium verticis conical, in anterior area slightly compressed, shorter than scapus; ventral margin separated by a shallow sinuosity from fastigium frontis. Frons shining, subsmooth, little grooved along clypeo-frontal suture, with or without few very shallowly impressed dots. Pronotum strongly prolonged behind in male, thus that the ventroposterior angle lies before middle of pronotum length; in female less prolonged; posterior margin of pronotum rounded in both sexes, in males covering stridulatory area of tegmen; pronotum surface shining, subsmooth, only in apical area and along margins little subrugose; disc slightly convex with lateral angles broadly rounded, apical area faintly raised and indistinctly shouldered, transverse sulci and secondary furrows very weak, lateral lobes longer or much longer than high, auditory swelling small. Most species fully winged but wings only little surpassing abdomen, small species often brachypterous; tegmen of fully winged species varying from almost covering abdomen to reaching beyond hind knees, gradually narrowed toward rounded tip. Prosternum provided with two moderately long, medium sized or short spines or only with tubercles, in few small species or only in some specimens of them fully missing. Mesosternal lobes rounded or angularly rounded, metasternal lobes rounded; medial plate with or without a short process or obtuse tubercle at posterior angles. Anterior tibia in cross-section quadrangular with dorsal angles rounded. Fore and mid femora with spines on both ventral margins, on hind femur only on anterior (external) margin, in few specimens with single spinules also on internal margin. Knee lobes of pro- and mesofemur spinose on both sides; on posterior side of profemur spine often short or obtuse; knee lobes of hind femur unispinose with rare individual exceptions.</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file with teeth in apical area largely reduced and often indistinct; area with reasonably large teeth varies between species and is often separated by a step from apical area. Tenth abdominal tergite with apical margin angularly projecting at both sides, wide-roundly excised in middle. Epiproct oriented vertically at base, later often curved apicad. Paraprocts compressed, auricularly projecting at both sides of epiproct and sometimes even surpassing dorsal surface of epiproct; with short, obtuse apical projections. Cerci with ventro-internal margin often roundly expanded. Subgenital plate with obtuse lateral carinae; lateral areas ascending and then curved laterad again; lateral margins convex, approaching each other posteriorly; with or without long apical projections; styli small or very small. Titillators rather uniform between species; separate, central areas running parallel, basal and apical areas curved laterad; basal areas usually short and broad; apical areas flattened, in some species widened, in others as narrow as in basal area, always narrowing toward end; apex forming a small, sclerotized disc twisted in a 90° angle against preceding area.</p> <p>Female. Pronotum less strongly prolonged than in male, covering only bases of tegmina; lateral lobes as narrow as in male; auditory swelling distinct but without humeral sinus. Seventh abdominal tergite with lateral areas shortened or excised to provide room for extensions of baso-lateral projections of subgenital plate; rarely unmodified. Epiproct triangularly rounded. Cerci long, conical, slightly curved, apex pointing. Ovipositor moderately long, in little more than basal third stout, afterward regularly upcurved and narrowed to acute tip. Subgenital plate with dorsal expansions from sub-basal area ascending on both sides of ovipositor.</p> <p>Coloration. Rather uniform between species. Partly green when alive, specimens studied often discolored and yellowish brown or ochreous. Frons concolorous, antennal scrobae dark brown or with brown spots, scapus often with brown spots; vertex including fastigium verticis and dorso-posterior part of genae with or without dark elements. Pronotum with paranota blackish brown, often including light spots; disc green or yellowish brown. Tegminal pattern variable. Legs green, hind knees brown or with a brown spot at top. Anterior tibiae often with a dark spot below tympana.</p> <p>Discussion. The species of Philmontis can be assigned to three groups: (1) mainly medium large species similar to P. nigrofasciatus with in-curved male cerci having part of the internal surface concavely deepened and the apical area almost rectangularly bent against the basal area, while the female subgenital plate terminates into a pair of long projections that are widely separated from each other at base; (2) medium sized to large species with unique modification of the male cerci, and the female subgenital plate having the apical lobes either strongly widened or divided into narrow lobes from central area; (3) small brachypterous species with simplified abdominal appendages and more uniform coloration. Comparing the male cerci of group (2) that have straight or moderately curved stems and one or two internal projections from little behind mid-length or in subapical area of the cercus stem with species of group (1) with incurved male cerci that carry a small cone or spine in sub-apical or more basal area (marked in Fig. 2 by an arrow), it is not unlikely that species of group (2) like P. pandus sp. nov. and P. profusus sp. nov. (Figs 3F–G) represent a more basic condition of the male cercus, while in species related to P. nigrofasciatus (group 1, Fig. 2) what appears as a large in-curved apical area of the cercus could be instead the internal projection while the apical area of the cercus is reduced to a small cone or spine. When we assume that the male cerci help opening the female subgenital plate during copulation, the huge modification of the male cerci in P. forcipatus becomes understandable as an adaptation to the female subgenital plate, which in this species terminates into pair of wide apical lobes while in most other species of the genus the female subgenital plate terminates into pair of narrow or very narrow apical lobes. The male of Philmontis extensus sp. nov. is still unknown. But we may expect that it also has strongly modified cerci as P. forcipatus. In P. spinosus sp. nov. the apical area of the cercus is shortened but the internal projection is short too (Figs 3A–C). Females of that species have subgenital plates that terminate into long and narrow apical projections that are however not separated at base as in the other species of the genus but divide from the central area (Fig. 8F).</p> <p>Tentative key to species of the genus Philmontis Willemse, 1966</p> <p>Key to known species—Males</p> <p>1.

Medium sized species with wings just covering abdomen. The species is characterized by the rather short male cerci with a large bulgy extension on ventro-internal margin that is concavely excavated on internal side, and by the in-curved apical area of the cercus that carries a spine in apical quarter at posterior margin after which the end of the cercus is markedly narrowed with sub-truncate end and provided at distal end with a distinct spine, at proximal end rounded with an indistinct spinule (Fig. 2A–C).</p> <p>Description. Fastigium verticis conical, in anterior area compressed, shorter than scapus; ventral margin separated by a shallow sinuosity from fastigium frontis. Pronotum shining, smooth, in apical area and along margins subrugose; in males prolonged behind; disc slightly convex with lateral angles broadly rounded, apical area indistinctly shouldered; anterior margin concave in middle; posterior margin rounded; transverse sulcus indistinct, second transverse sulcus indicated on disc; paranota much longer than high, posterior angle lying before middle of pronotum length; in females pronotum markedly shorter than in males but lateral lobes also narrow.

Tenth abdominal tergite wider than long, hind margin wide-roundly excised in middle for about one third the length of the tergite, obtuse angularly projecting on both sides of excision. Cerci at base cylindrical, afterward from internal surface compressed and widened into a large, rounded, ventro-internal extension; external area of cercus behind that extension curved mediad and divided into a longer dorsal branch and a short ventral spine, dorsal branch at end obliquely truncate with a distinct spine at distal end and a minute spinule at proximal end (Figs 2A–C). Subgenital plate triangularly excised from base, afterward with a faint medial carinula; ventral disc with converging margins that are curved dorsad and then laterad, forming compressed lateral expansions with rounded margin; central disc in apical area with swollen lateral margins that are extended into long, rounded projections carrying at end minute styli; epiproct triangular with rounded end, surface in middle of baso-central area caved, lateral areas swollen. Titillators long and narrow, basal area hyaline, expanded apico-laterad; afterward narrow parallel-sided, in about mid-length moderately widened and curved, toward end curved again and at end provided with a sclerotized disc twisted against main titillator axis; surface of titillators largely hyaline, surface of widened area with light brown striation and scattered small brownish spots (Fig. 5A).</p> <p>Female subgenital plate in basal area little wider than last sternite, with a faint medial carinula; little behind anterior margin with a step and laterally widened into dorso-lateral expansions with obtuse end, thereafter with parallel lateral margins; basal area at end sub-truncate in middle but on both sides prolonged into little compressed, faintly sinusoidal projections that are longer than the basal disc and at end narrowing toward obtuse tip (Figs 7A–B). Ovipositor moderately long, in little more than basal third stout, afterward regularly upcurved and narrowed to acute tip (Fig. 6A).</p> <p>Measurements (4 males, 3 females).—Body w/o wings: male 20.0–20.5, female 19.0–24.0; pronotum: male 7.9–8.3, female 6.2–6.5; tegmen: male 13.0–14.5, female 15.0–18.0; hind femur: male 12.5–14.5, female 13.5– 14.5; ovipositor: female 10.0 mm.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/DB181868FF9EFFCBFF67D2A92A5DF7C8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The new species is similar to P. nigrofasciatus Willemse, 1966 in general appearance, but slightly larger and more robust. It differs from this and other species of the genus by the simple and elongate male cerci that have the oval excavation of the internal surface and the ventral expansion of that area only faintly expressed, while in P. nigrofasciatus and other species with such an excavation there is a strong widening of the ventral margin of the cercus around that area. Also, the narrow, incurved and nearly straight apical area that carries two minute spinules is unique within the genus. Females of P. angustus sp. nov. differ from those of P. nigrofasciatus by the subgenital plate that has the subbasal lateral extensions at end widened and more strongly projecting lateral while the very basal area is narrower, and the apical projections are substraight and approaching each other posteriorly while in P. nigrofasciatus and P. murmur sp. nov. they are slightly sinuate and pointing posteriorly.</p> <p>Description.

The new species is similar to P. nigrofasciatus Willemse, 1966 and P. angustus sp. nov., it differs from both by the shape of the male cerci that have the ventral expansion and internal excavation similar to that in P. nigrofasciatus but the bent apical area is markedly curved and stout with a single spinule at tip and carries a stout cone at base, while in P. nigrofasciatus there is a spinule in subapical area and in P. angustus the bent apical area is narrow and sub-straight and carries only at end two spinules. The female subgenital plate of P. murmur sp. nov. is similar to those of P. nigrofasciatus and P. angustus but has the basal area rather wide with the lateral extensions markedly curved and the apical projections near base strongly curved dorsad and afterward slightly sinuate.</p> <p>Description.

The new species resembles P. nigrofasciatus and similar species, especially P. angustus sp. nov. with which it shares the long in-curved apical area of the cercus. It differs however by the very strong excavation of the internal surface of the male cercus behind the basal area while in P. angustus an excavation is only weakly or moderately expressed; it differs also by the modification of the in-curved apical area, which is dorsally elevated around mid-length in P. flexus sp. nov. while substraight in P. angustus, and the ventral margin is provided with a distinct conus with acute tip in P. flexus while unarmed in P. angustus. The new species has the apical area of the stridulatory file on underside of left male tegmen strongly reduced. A character that P. flexus shares with P. angulatus sp. nov., P. spinosus sp. nov., P. profusus sp. nov. and P. murmur sp. nov. However, the files of the latter two species have the teeth narrower and denser packed than in P. flexus, and from P. angulatus and P. spinosus, the new species differs by completely different cerci. The female subgenital plate of P. flexus resembles that of the P. nigrofasciatus and similar species, but in P. flexus it is rather wide and provided with a pair of grooves in the central area, missing in all other species; the subbasal lateral extensions are markedly projecting laterally as in P. angustus, but the apical extensions are running nearly straight behind, not converging as in P. angustus.</p> <p>Description. Pronotum elongate; disc with anterior margin faintly concave, posterior margin broadly rounded (Fig. 1F). Prosternal spines short, in few specimens very short; mesosternal lobes obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded, with or without angle at hind margin. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 4-7 / 5-7; (2) 5-8 / 0-3; (3) 6-13 / 0 (64x) or 1 (6x), 2 (5x), 5 (1 x) (n = 76 legs); hind knee lobes unispinose.</p> <p>Male stridulatory file total length 1.06 mm; area with countable teeth 0.60 mm with 34 teeth; from base to end of distinct area 0.53 mm with 28 teeth; area with distinctly spaced, including largest teeth 0.44 mm with 24 teeth (Fig. 4H). Tenth abdominal tergite wider than long, anterior margin concave, hind margin wide-roundly excised in middle for about one third the length of the tergite, obtuse angularly projecting on both sides of excision (Figs 2L–M). Epiproct triangular with rounded end, surface about in middle with a pit followed by a faint furrow behind. Male cerci in about basal third straight with proximal area cylindrical, afterward compressed with concave internal surface that is roundly projecting ventrad, thereafter compressed area narrowed and curved mediad and little proximad; that recurved area becomes swollen and provided with a distinct spine from ventral surface; tip of cercus parallel-sided, little dorso-ventrally compressed and at truncate tip provided with two small spines (Figs 2L–N). Titillators forming a pair of oval plates at base, afterward narrow, elongate, laterally compressed, strongly curved in about mid-length and afterward gradually narrowing toward end which carries a small, compressed rounded disc twisted in a rectangle against apical arm of titillator (Fig. 5E).</p> <p>Female subgenital plate at base moderately wide with sloping lateral margins; in about mid-length of disc with compressed lateral expansions with obtuse tip; disc behind lateral expansions in some but not all specimens little depressed forming a pair of shallow impressions; afterward central disc gives rise to a pair of long, rounded, sinusoidal apical projections (Fig. 7K–L); in lateral view basal area appears smooth but little wavy due to depressions in anterior and central areas.</p> <p>Measurements (27 males, 22 females).—Body w/wings: male 25–29, female 27–30; body w/o wings: male 21–27, female 20–27; pronotum: male 7.8–8.8, female 6.5–7.5; tegmen: male 16.5–19.5, female 19–21; hind femur: male 16.0–18.5, female 16.5–18.5; antenna: male 85–100, female 65–95; ovipositor: female 11.0– 12.5 mm.</p> <p>Etymology.

P. forcipatus (Willemse, 1966) is related to P. nigrofasciatus Willemse, 1966 and the three other species treated above, although it is somewhat larger: body length in the mean 10 mm longer than in P. nigrofasciatus and about 5 mm longer than in P. angustus sp. nov., P. murmur sp. nov. or P. flexus sp. nov. The male cerci follow the same basic scheme as in these four species, although they are greatly enlarged. The straight basal stem has the internal margin in more than apical half strongly widened and the dorsal surface compressed. That widened area carries at hind margin a cone similar to the situation in P. murmur; the area that follows is then upcurved with still concave internal surface, only the apical area is in-curved and horizontal as in the related species. The complex structure of the male cerci has obviously evolved as an adaptation to modifications of the female subgenital plate. The very basic area of the female subgenital plate is narrowed, followed by a widened central plate as in the other species of the genus. The apical projections however are strongly widened forming a pair of vaulted plates separated by a wide interspace while in most other species of the genus they form elongate, spine-like projections.</p> <p>Description. Rather large for the genus with wings surpassing abdomen and reaching or surpassing middle of ovipositor in females. Face of uniform color, antennal scrobae black, basal segments of antennae often black, in some specimens only partly so. Pronotum elongate; disc with anterior margin faintly concave, posterior margin broadly rounded; lateral lobes long and narrow, its deepest point in males just behind mid-length, in females at beginning of apical third; auditory swelling distinct but without humeral sinus. Prosternal spines short or medium long; mesosternal lobes obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 5-7 / 5-7; (2) 4-6 / 1-2; (3) 7-10 / 0-1 (n = 4); hind knee lobes with a single spine.</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file on underside of left tegmen in apical area little more distinct than in most other species of the genus (Fig. 4D). Stridulatory file 1.53 mm long with 109 teeth; from base to end of distinct area 0.95 mm with 55 teeth; area with largest 30 teeth 0.56 mm (Mt Otto); and: total length 1.32 mm long; area with countable teeth 1.035 mm long with 74 teeth; from base to end of distinct area 0.78 mm with 45 teeth; central area with largest teeth 0.45 mm with 26 teeth (Mt Michael; this file is damaged around mid-length). Tenth abdominal tergite of about same size as preceding tergites; apical margin wide-concave with lateral angles rounded (Fig. 2I). Cerci at base slightly down-curved, afterward in lateral view ventral margin little convex but in about mid-length strongly curved dorsad and toward end curved proximad, while dorsal margin nearly regularly curved from base toward tip; area around first curvature on internal side markedly swollen and provided with 3 obtuse bumps on somewhat irregular, ventrointernal surface; behind swollen area cercus flattened with a marked rim on internal side and concave dorsal surface; at end cercus little twisted again and provided at rounded tip with 3 acute spinules (Figs 2I–K). Subgenital plate with rather narrow, elevated central area and widely convex and little upcurved lateral areas; disc in mid-line with a faint rim; behind lateral rim apical area divided into a pair of rounded projections that carry at end rather small styli. Paraprocts with a long up-bent projection with obtuse tip. Titillators flattened, in situ folded; in opened view with basal and apical areas directed laterad; in apical area only moderately widened, before end narrowed and provided at end with a roughly disc-shaped appendage with very finely serrulate rim; color brownish with scattered brown spots; basal area and part of sub-apical area transparent whitish, partly with dark spots (Figs 5C–D).</p> <p>Female. Subgenital plate with projecting anterior area moderately wide, in ventral view with basal margin faintly convex to nearly straight in middle, concave on both sides, afterward anterior-lateral areas with roughly oval, dorsal extension not visible from below; central area seamlessly merging into central disc, lateral areas of disc separated by transverse folds from anterior areas that are followed behind by faint furrows; central area of plate terminates in middle into a short convex lobe, while lateral areas are expanded into huge, roughly bean-shaped apical lobes (Fig. 8D). In lateral view disc of subgenital plate with large dorsal expansions that are restricted by the clearly elevated lateral and sub-basal rims of the central disc (Figs 8E). Ovipositor rather long, in basal area nearly straight, afterward markedly upcurved and with regularly approaching margins toward acute tip (Fig. 6D).</p> <p>Coloration. Of pale basic color, when alive probably partly green, with black pattern varying between specimens; head behind compound eyes, basal segments of antennae, lateral lobes of pronotum, lateral areas of abdominal segments, subgenital plates of both sexes, and hind knees black; tegmen with yellowish veins and veinlets, cells black, becoming lighter toward end.</p> <p>Measurements (4 males, 4 females).—Body w/wings: male 31.0–32.5, female 33.0–33.5; body w/o wings: male 25.0–27.5, female 23–27; pronotum: male 8–9, female 7–8; tegmen: male 20.5–23.0, female 23–25; hind femur: male 18–20, female 19–20; antenna: male 80–90; ovipositor: female 13–14 mm.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/DB181868FF94FFC0FF67D2E72C57F1CA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It differs by the shape of the female subgenital plate that has the central area behind the narrowed very basal area not constricted, instead, the central area of the plate is regularly curved into the widened apical lobes, the ventral surface of the plate is regularly vaulted, not provided with transverse, angular folds as in P. forcipatus; and the dorso-lateral expansions of the plate are of different shape. Moreover, the ovipositor has the substraight basal area prolonged and is longer than in other species of the genus.</p> <p>Description. Rather large for the genus with wings surpassing abdomen, reaching about tip of hind femur and reaching or surpassing middle of ovipositor in females (Fig. 6E).

Males of P. spinosus sp. nov. differ from all other species of the genus in that they have the apical lobes of the tenth abdominal tergite prolonged and flattened with narrow interspace, while in the other species these lobes are short with wider interspace. Also, the shape of the cerci is unique as they are simply rounded and moderately curved, missing any concave depressions of the internal surface as in species related to P. nigrofasciatus Willemse, 1966 nor do they have any complex internal projections as in P. angulatus sp. nov. or P. profusus sp. nov., but are only provided with a short, obtuse, internal projection with a minute spinule at tip. Females differ from those of P. nigrofasciatus by the subgenital plate that, behind the narrowed very basal area and the subbasal widening, has the lateral margins more strongly approaching and the ventral surface entire for about half of the length of the apical area (in P. nigrofasciatus one third or less) and afterward divides in an acute angle into a pair of long and narrow, conical projections with acute tip, while in P. nigrofasciatus and other species of the genus the central disc ends into a wide, sub-straight or faintly concave hind margin and the elongate apical projections arise from the lateral margins of the central disc, often widely separated from each other.</p> <p>Description. Medium sized species with wings covering abdomen but not fully reaching tip of hind knees. Face mostly of general color, antennal scrobae and first antennal segment black, vertex and occiput black; pronotum with dark brown or black lateral lobes, disc of general color; tegmen with light veins and veinlets and with light cells, dark color fades toward end of tegmen; hind femur with black genicular ring; abdominal tergites often black on both sides, brown in middle. Pronotum elongate; disc with anterior margin faintly concave, hind margin broadly rounded; lateral lobes long and narrow, its deepest point in or little before mid-length, auditory swelling distinct, without humeral sinus. Prosternal spines short to medium long; mesosternal lobes obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 4-6 / 4-7; (2) 2-6 / 0-3; (3) 5-10 / 0 (n = 35); hind knee lobes unispinose.</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file concave or faintly sinusoidal, teeth robust but dense, in apical third narrow and very dense (n = 6): total length 1.28, 1.19, 0.93, 0.99, 0.98, 1.09 mm; area with countable teeth 0.83, 0.99, 0.71, 0.73, 0.80, 0.86 mm with 42, 51, 36, 44, 50, 41 teeth; from base to end of distinct area 0.83, 0.92, 0.71, 0.72, 0.69, 0.86 mm with 44, 37, 36, 40, 34, 40 teeth; area with distinctly spaced, including largest teeth 0.68, 0.75, 0.52, 0.61, 0.61, 0.70 mm with 28, 32, 26, 32, 28, 30 teeth (Fig. 4E). Tenth abdominal tergite almost semi-circular in general outline with more than apical half divided into a pair of little down-curved lobes with broadly rounded ends that little approach each other while the more proximal interspace between both lobes is oval and widened; basal area of plate with a deep medial furrow that widens toward base. Cerci in dorsal view narrow cylindrical with internal surface only faintly flattened, in about apical half curved moderately mediad, in subapical area with a short process with convex apical and concave proximal surface and terminating into a short, curved spine from ventral-apical surface, while cercus stem behind process short conical also with a spine at tip (Fig. 3A–C). Disc of subgenital plate with convex, but toward end with concave lateral margins that terminate into long and narrow, diverging apical projections that carry long styli at tip; lateral margins of disc upcurved and then curved sideward forming compressed rims until division of plate into a pair of apical projections. Titillators in situ facing each other; when spread, with basal area semi-oval, followed by compressed, band-like stems that in apical half give rise to roughly triangular lateral projections with concave distal and convex proximal margins and with concave distal surface that is narrowing toward end which carries a sclerotized, rounded disc that is rectangularly twisted against preceding surface (Fig. 5F).</p> <p>Female. Subgenital plate with basal area markedly widened and separated from main area by a rim that is interrupted in middle; surface proximad of rim concavely excavated except along midline; basal, lateral margin in ventral view oblique on both sides but extended into roughly triangular, compressed expansions only visible in lateral view; ventral surface behind transverse rim with converging and little upcurved lateral margins, at end divided into a pair of long spine-like projections with convex external surface and subacute tip (Figs 8F–G). Ovipositor stout in basal area, regularly curved and narrowed toward acute tip (Fig. 6G).</p> <p>Measurements (17 males, 20 females).—Body w/wings: male 26–30, female 28–36; body w/o wings: male 21–27, female 22–31; pronotum: male 7.0–9.3, female 5.8–8.0; tegmen: male 18–20, female 20–23; hind femur: male 15.5–18.0, female 16–22; antenna: male 80, female 80–90; ovipositor: female 11.5–13.0 mm.</p> <p>Etymology. The name of the new species refers to the long, pointed projections of the female subgenital plate; from Latin spinosus —spinous.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/DB181868FF95FFD8FF67D49A29BBF122	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

J. &amp; M. Sedlacek —depository: Bernice B. Bishop Museum, Honolulu (BPBM).</p> <p>Other specimens studied:— 1 female paratype, same data as holotype (BPBM).</p> <p>Diagnosis. The new species differs from P. nigrofasciatus and related species by the shape of the male cerci that are missing concave excavations and have the apical area not bent mediad but continuing posteriorly although little curved and carries at beginning of about apical third two internal projections. That basic shape of the male cerci, P. angulatus sp. nov. shares with P. profusus sp. nov., with which it also shares the outline of the stridulatory file having a long apical area with reduced teeth. It differs from that species by the apical area of the cerci that is shorter and less strongly curved, the dorsal internal projection of the cercus is also shorter and without widened base, and the ventral internal projection is compressed plate-shaped instead of with styliform end. The female differs from that of P. profusus by the subgenital plate which is strongly curved from one side to the other instead of only little upcurved and clearly visible from below, and by the apical spine-like projections standing rather close together instead of being widely separated in the latter species.</p> <p>Description. Habitus (Fig. 1B): medium-sized species with wings little surpassing abdomen and reaching about hind knees or little surpassing middle of ovipositor in females. Face of uniform color, antennal scrobae partly or fully black. Pronotum lateral lobes long and narrow, its deepest point in males just behind mid-length, in females around beginning of apical third; auditory swelling distinct but without humeral sinus. Pronotum elongate, disc with anterior margin faintly concave, posterior margin broadly rounded. Prosternal spines short; mesosternal lobes obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 4-6 / 6; (2) 5-6 / 2; (3) 9-13 / 0 (n = 2); hind knee lobes with one spine.</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file (Fig. 3M): total length 0.8 mm; area with countable teeth 0.66 mm with 47 teeth; from base to end of distinct area 0.6 mm with 37 teeth; area with distinctly spaced, including largest teeth 0.55 mm with 33 teeth (n = 1). Tenth abdominal tergite of about same size as preceding tergites, with lateral angles rounded; apical margin wide-roundly excised for about half the length of the tergite. Cerci in nearly basal two thirds cylindrical but behind basal area with a narrow rim along internal surface that suddenly ends before apical area into an angular projection with rounded angle, while the dorsal area continued as a curved, rounded projection with acute spine at tip; before apical constriction from dorsal margin with a straight and stout internal process that carries two acute spinules at end (Fig. 3F). Subgenital plate in basal area extended dorsad on both sides, afterward lateral margins converging and shortly behind mid-length, plate divided into a pair of little diverging and setose apical projections that are slightly widening at end and carry a small stylus at apical margin. Titillators flattened, in situ folded; in opened view with basal and apical areas directed laterad; in apical area only moderately widened, before end narrowed and provided at end with a sclerotized disc with very finely serrulate rim; surface of titillators brownish with scattered larger and darker brown spots (Fig 5H).</p> <p>Female. Subgenital plate markedly wider than long, lateral areas strongly curved dorsad; apical margin thickened, carrying in central area a pair of narrow, elongate, spine-like projections curved dorsad; from basal margin, just before both lateral ends of plate with a short and curved projection on dorso-proximal side; along midline of plate with a faint seam (Figs 7M–O). Ovipositor moderately long, curved dorsad, with acute tip (Fig. 6I).</p> <p>Measurements (1 male, 1 female).—Body w/wings: male 28, female 30; body w/o wings: male 25, female 24; pronotum: male 8, female 7; tegmen: male 18.5, female 21; hind femur: male 16.5, female 16.5; ovipositor: female 11 mm.</p> <p>Etymology.

The new species is characterized by long and straight cerci which have only the apical area moderately curved and are missing concave depressions on internal side that are characteristic for most species of the genus. P. profusus sp. nov. is similar to P. angulatus sp. nov. It differs from it, apart from larger size and longer wings, by the shape of the male cerci that have the narrow apical area longer with narrower base and are more strongly curved, the dorsal internal projection is widened at base instead of narrow, and the ventral internal projection is narrow and rounded instead of compressed-angular. Also, the females of both species are very similar. The female subgenital plates of both species are similar in general outline and both have near the lateral angles a small lobe on dorso-proximal side that is curved in an 180° angle against the surface of the plate. In P. profusus however, the lateral margins of the plate are thickened, stout and bulging in baso-lateral areas while thin and less marked in P. angulatus; additionally, the lateral areas of the plate are only little upcurved instead of strongly upcurved, and the seam along mid-length of the plate is at end widened to a membranous dorsal band between the apical projections, which are more widely spaced from each other than in P. angulatus. Both species also differ in the shapes of the male titillators.</p> <p>Description. Medium sized species, wings covering abdomen and reaching or moderately surpassing hind knees (Fig. 1E). Face of general color, antennal scrobae darkened. Pronotum lateral lobes long and narrow, its deepest point in males little before mid-length, in females about at beginning of apical third, auditory swelling distinct, without humeral sinus. Pronotum elongate, disc with anterior margin faintly concave, posterior margin broadly rounded. Prosternal spines short or medium long; mesosternal lobes obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded; Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 6 / 6; (2) 5-7 / 2-3; (3) 6-10 / 0 (n = 2); hind knee lobes with one apical spine.</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file with a few scattered and indistinct riffles before start; length from beginning of file till end 1.17 mm with about 137 teeth; area with distinct teeth 0.61 mm with 39 teeth; transient zone 0.059 mm with 8 teeth; apical area 0.50 mm with about 90 very narrow teeth (Fig. 4F). Tenth abdominal tergite markedly wider than long, anterior margin in middle roundly excised, apical margin wide-roundly excised for about half the length of the tergite, area around apical excision setose. Cerci comparatively long, about basal half cylindrical, but internal surface behind basal area with a rim at internal surface increasing in width posteriorly and suddenly ending before apical quarter into a short obtuse cone; at end of cylindrical area of cercus, dorsal area gives rise to a moderately long internal process with converging margins in basal half, becoming cylindrical in apical half, at tip with two small, faintly curved, acute teeth; dorso-external area of cercus stem markedly prolonged, curved and narrowed to nearly cylindrical shape, tip rounded with an acute tooth (Fig. 3G). Subgenital plate with basal margin concave in middle, disc with approaching lateral margins and a faint medial carina that is restricted to basal area; lateral areas curved dorsad and then laterad, forming wavy lateral lamellae that end just before the ventral disc is divided into two long and narrow projections, which are little out-curved and carry at tip a stylus. Titillators flattened, in situ folded; in opened view with basal and apical areas directed laterad; in apical area rather strongly widened, at end provided with a disc-shaped structure twisted against the main titillator axis; surface of titillators largely hyaline, surface of widened area with light brown striation and scattered minute brownish knobs (Fig. 5G).</p> <p>Female. Subgenital plate wider than long, in middle divided by a moderately wide semi-membranous area that is up-bent and laterally widening in posterior area; sclerotized lateral areas wavy but only little upcurved toward lateral margins; from dorsal surface of anterior margin and close to the lateral margins with a pair of curved and flattened, hook-shaped dorsal projections, forming, together with the more proximal part of the process, a posteriorly open cleft (arrows in Figs 8H–I); lateral margins of subgenital plate in more basal area bulging, narrowing thereafter and at end forming narrow, spine-like projections with acute tip.</p> <p>Coloration. Frons with two angular, medium brown spots at clypeo-frontal suture, not well outlined, and a small spot below medial ocellus; another dark brown spot on genae above mandibles. Internal area of scapus dark brown. Vertex with two brown bands from and including fastigium verticis to eyes and continued as postocular bands. Genicular areas (femora and tibiae) of legs II and III dark brown; third tarsal segment brown.</p> <p>Measurements (1 male, 2 females).—Body w/wings: male 32, female 34–35; body w/o wings: male 26, female 22–27; pronotum: male 8.3, female 7.7–8.2; tegmen: male 21.5, female 25–26; hind femur: male 17.5, female 19.7–21.0; ovipositor: female 12.5–13.5 mm.</p> <p>Etymology.

In the collections of specimens studied there have been four brachypterous species in which the tegmen does not reach the tip of abdomen. They are also of markedly smaller size than the other species of the genus. One of these species had been described by Willemse (1966) as a form of P. nigrofasciatus. From that species P. minimus differs by the widened apical area of the male titillators and by the shape of the male cerci. Although the cerci have a convex widening of the ventro-internal margin similar to the situation in P. nigrofasciatus, they end into a short spinose tip and are provided with a short, curved, subapical-internal projection with acute tip similar to the situation in P. pandus sp. nov. From the latter species, P. minimus differs however by the shape of the cercus having a marked widening of the basal area that is missing in P. pandus, the acute end of the cercus being shorter, and the subapical internal projection terminating into a single instead of two acute ends. Moreover, the tenth abdominal tergite has the apical margin shallowly excised at end in P. minimus while markedly excised in P. pandus.</p> <p>Description. Brachypterous, tegmina covering little more than half of abdomen. Pronotum lateral lobes long and narrow, its deepest point in male little before mid-length, auditory swelling distinct, without humeral sinus. Prosternum with two small tubercles (covered with clue in type specimen). Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: profemur 3 external, 3–4 internal; mesofemur 4–5 external, 0 internal; postfemur 5 external, 0 internal. Knee lobes of hind femur with one spine on both sides.</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file with about 60 teeth at 1.16 mm. Male tenth abdominal tergite wider than long, anterior margin in middle roundly excised, apical margin wide-roundly excised for about one fifth or one sixth the length of the tergite. Epiproct with a deep pit at dorsal surface. Cerci with ventro-internal margin swollen around mid-length; internal surface of swollen area slightly concave; end of cercus acute triangular with a minute tooth at tip; just before end of cercus with an internal, curved process (Fig. 3L). Titillators long and narrow, basal area hyaline, pointing laterad; afterward narrow parallel-sided, toward apical area widened and curved, toward end curved again and at end provided with a roughly disc-shaped pad twisted against the main titillator axis (Fig. 5L).</p> <p>Female unknown.</p> <p>Coloration. Discolored, subgenital plate yellowish brown. Hind knees brown except for very apex.</p> <p>Measurements (1 male).—Body w/o wings: male 17; pronotum: male 6.8; tegmen: male 9; anterior femur: 5; hind femur: male 9 mm.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/DB181868FF8FFFDAFF67D3AA29ECF6AB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

J. Sedlacek —depository: Bernice B. Bishop Museum, Honolulu (BPBM). The type is unique.</p> <p>Diagnosis. The new species is characterized by the, compared to the small body size, stout and robust habitus and rather thick male cerci that are stout in basal area, then little narrowed from internal margin, bent mediad in sub-apical area and terminate into a wide rounded end with a spinule at tip; unique is also the compressed internal process in about mid-length of cercus that has the proximal margin much shorter than the distal margin, resulting in an oblique apical margin that is provided with a row of four acute teeth. The cerci of P. robustus sp. nov. are remotely similar to those of P. pandus sp. nov., differ, however, by the rounded cercus stem being without concave depression on internal surface. Furthermore, the internal process is inserted markedly before the incurved apical area of the cercus and widened with four acute teeth instead of narrow with two acute teeth in P. pandus and the shape of cercus is distinctly more robust than in the latter species.</p> <p>Description. Small, brachypterous species with tegmen covering about half of abdomen. Face of uniform color, antennal scrobae black. Pronotum elongate, disc with anterior margin faintly concave, posterior margin broadly rounded. Prosternal spines absent; mesosternal lobes obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 4-5 / 1-3; (2) 4 / 0-1; (3) 5 / 0; hind knee lobes unispinose (n = 1).</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file with about 35 teeth at 0.75 mm that are distinct and clearly spaced in basal and central areas, becoming denser and smaller toward apical area; at end with a number of very tiny, uncountable pegs; total file length including uncountable pegs at both ends 0.99 mm (Fig. 4I). Tenth abdominal tergite little longer than preceding tergite, with hind margin rounded but in middle with a rounded excision of about one third the length of the tergite (Fig. 3J). Cerci in about basal two thirds stout and cylindrical, in apical third narrow with convex external and concave internal surface, curved mediad and terminating into a small acute tooth; at transient zone with a stout, dorso-ventrally compressed internal process that carries along apical margin four minute acute teeth, the last tooth at tip (Fig. 3K). Subgenital plate in more than basal half with upcurved and roundly extended lateral areas; ventral disc in middle excavated and with fine medial ridge, lateral margins roundly swollen and later extended into projections that carry at tip narrow styli; hind margin deep roundly excised. Titillators curved at base, afterward triangularly widening with subtruncate apical margin that is extended at distal angle into a compressed, sclerotized disc (Fig. 5M).</p> <p>Coloration.

The new species differs from other species of the genus by the shape of the male cerci. The internal surface of the male cercus of P. pandus sp. nov. has a concave depression on internal surface as in P. pumilus sp. nov., which is, however, less extended than in the latter species. Moreover, the internal projection of the cercus is short, compressed and inserted just before the short, conical, and in-curved apical area of the cercus stem while in P. pumilus it is prolonged with rounded stem and inserted markedly before the slightly curved, compressed and longer apical area. Females of P. pandus differ from P. pumilus by the shape of the central area of the subgenital plate that is widened laterally and in midline interrupted by a narrow membranous fissure that widens at end thus that the apical margin appears bi-triangular with apical spines arising from the angles while in P. pumilus the central plate is rhombic with the apical spines arising from the apical-lateral angles. Compared to P. profusus sp. nov., the subgenital plate of P. pandus appears in lateral view more strongly curved while in P. profusus nearly straight.</p> <p>Description. Small species with wings not fully covering abdomen, in male leaving the last two or three segments free (Fig.1K), in female covering about half of abdomen, in one female nearly reaching end of abdomen (Figs 6K–L). Pronotum elongate, disc with anterior margin faintly concave, posterior margin broadly rounded. Prosternal spines minute or absent; mesosternal lobes obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 3-5 / 1-4; (2) 4-6 / 0-2; (3) 5-8 / 0 (n = 9); hind knee lobes with one spine.</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file (Fig. 4L): total length 1.06, 1.12 mm; area with countable teeth 0.94, 1.04 mm with 52, 63 countable teeth; from base to end of distinct area 0.84, 0.82 mm with 41, 42 teeth; area with distinctly spaced, including largest teeth 0.75, 0.70 mm with 39, 33 teeth (n = 2; specimens from Edie Creek, Wau). Cerci with external surface convex, internal surface with concave furrow widening from more basal to apical area; at end cercus narrowed and markedly curved mediad, terminating into a small acute tooth; just before curvature with a small, compressed and curved internal process from dorsal margin with longer convex distal and shorter concave proximal margin, at end with two acute teeth distinctly separated from each other (Fig. 3H–I). Subgenital plate roundly excised from base, ventral disc with little converging margins that are curved dorsad and then laterad forming compressed lateral expansions with little wavy margin; central disc in apical area with lateral margins extended into long, rounded projections that are widened at end and carry minute styli at oblique tip. Titillators long and narrow, basal area hyaline, sub-fused and expanded apico-laterad; afterward narrow parallel-sided, in about mid-length widened, forming a transverse triangular area with curved apical arms that are at end provided with a sclerotized disc twisted against titillator axis; surface of titillators largely hyaline, in apical half darker than in basal half; surface of triangular, widened area light brown with scattered small brownish spots (Fig. 5N).</p> <p>Female. Subgenital plate with anterior margin faintly convex in middle; with a narrow membranous fissure along midline of disc widening apically; anterior area extended on both sides into a large, rounded expansion with concave surface that is subdivided by a lateral extension of the bulging anterior margin of the disc; disc behind lateral extensions with converging lateral margins that are at end of plate extended into narrow conical extensions with approaching margins and subacute tip (Figs 8J–K). Ovipositor stout at base; curved with regularly approaching margins toward acute tip.

Prosternal spines absent or with a pair of minute spinules; mesosternal lobes obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 2-5 / 1-5 in some specimens hardly visible; (2) 3-6 / 0-3; (3) 4-6 / 0 (n = 12); hind knee lobes unispinose.</p> <p>Male.

The new genus is similar to Philmontis Willemse, 1966 in general shape and coloration. The dark band from lateral lobes of pronotum to and along midline of tegmen is often more conspicuous than in the latter genus. The lateral lobes of pronotum are narrow as in Philmontis but less strongly prolonged behind, leaving the male stridulatory apparatus largely free. The prosternal spines are long instead of short, minute or absent in Philmontis; the hind femur is provided with spines on both ventral margins instead of only at anterior margin and the hind knees are provided with two spines on both sides instead of only one spine. The male titillators of Philmontoides gen. nov. vary in shape between species but are never provided with a small sclerotized disc at end which is typical for the genus Philmontis. Females of Philmontoides can easily be separated from those of the latter genus by the shape of the dorsal ovipositor valves that are dorso-ventrally expanded around mid-length while in Philmontis they are regularly narrowed toward end.</p> <p>All species of Philmontoides gen. nov. are of similar general appearance, coloration, length and width of tegmen but differ in the shapes of the male tenth abdominal tergite, cerci, and titillators as well as in the shape of the female subgenital plate. Regarding the male stridulatory file on the underside of the male left tegmen, there are four species, P. hageni (Dohrn, 1905), P. lobatus (Naskrecki &amp; Rentz, 2010), P. globosus sp. nov., and P. disjunctus sp. nov. that have large and stout teeth in the basal two thirds of the file, while small to minute teeth in the apical area. Males of the other four species studied have smaller and narrower teeth but differ in the length of the area useable for stridulation. Regarding the male titillators of the phallus (Figs 13–15), there is a gradual changeover from shapes with simple, sub-flat but widened apical areas (e.g., in P. affinis (Willlemse, 1966) or P. commodus sp. nov.) similar to those found in some other genera of Agraeciini, via species in which the apical area is bent in an about rectangle against the basal stem (e.g., P. striatus sp. nov.), to species, in which this bent apical area becomes vaulted (e.g., P. wau sp. nov.) and in a further step strengthened to form a strong tunnel-shaped structure (e.g., P. hageni Dohrn). That structure became even further modified in three other species. In two species, both sides of the vaulted apical area differ in size and shape (P. lobatus (Naskrecki &amp; Rentz, 2010) and P. globosus sp. nov.), while in one species (P. disjunctus sp. nov.), the apical area is completely divided into two separate branches, connected only at very base where they arise from the basal stem of the titillator.</p> <p>The general habitus of the genus Philmontoides gen. nov. is also similar to that of the genus Habetia Kirby 1906. Shape and length of pronotum with narrow lateral lobes and the apical area covering only the base of the stridulatory area in males are similar in both genera. Coloration of the pronotum differs however between both genera: the lateral lobes are black in Philmontoides while of light general color in Habetia. Also, the spination of legs is similar in both genera especially on the hind femur having spines on both ventral margins and the hind knee lobes are provided with two spines on both sides. The fore wings of Philmontoides are narrow throughout and provided with a dark medial band while in Habetia they are of uniform general color, often wider in more than basal half and have the apical area narrow and parallel-sided. Differences between both genera are also found in the male tenth abdominal tergite that is usually provided with a pair of projections from central apical area in Philmontoides while simply excised at end in Habetia; the male cerci are divided into apical lobes or are provided with two projections from various areas in Philmontoides while with an apical internal projection and often with a dorsal apical crest in Habetia. The basic shape of the male titillators consists mainly of soft structures in Philmontoides but is based on a basic sclerite in Habetia; but these structures are strongly modified between species in both genera. Females differ strikingly between both genera by the shape of the ovipositor which is curved and has the dorsal valves widened in Philmontoides but strongly prolonged and except at base substraight in Habetia.</p> <p>Description. Elongate species with narrow tegmen reaching about to end of hind femur, little shorter or longer. Pronotum in males not or only little prolonged behind, leaving the stridulatory area largely uncovered, ventroposterior angle of lateral lobes distinctly behind middle of pronotum length; in females lateral lobes not prolonged; apical margin of disc slightly convex or subtruncate in both sexes; sulci and furrows of pronotum distinct, interrupted in middle; lateral lobes not very deep, ventral margin slightly concave, at end forming a rounded angle with lateral margin of posterior area that is projecting laterad and clearly visible from above; auditory swelling small. Tegmen rather narrow, reaching or slightly surpassing hind knees, little narrowing from basal area to rounded or subtruncate end. Prosternal spines of medium size or long, but shorter than coxa. Postfemur with spines on both ventral margins, on ventro-internal margin usually with small spinules in basal half and a few large spines before apex as in genus Habetia. Hind knee lobes always bi-spinose.</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file often with large and spaced teeth from near base to behind mid-length, narrow and dense teeth at apical end; in other species differences in tooth size between areas less pronounced but with largest teeth also before or around mid-length, while in apical area with small or indistinct teeth; in few species (e.g., P. commodus sp. nov.) all teeth distinctly visible from base to tip despite of differences in size. Tenth abdominal tergite little globular and apex with two projections in middle. Subgenital plate with variable end; styli small. Titillators variable between species but always with a simple titillator stem that is extended at end into a large, complex, apical structure.</p> <p>Female. Cerci rather short, conical, slightly curved, apex pointing. Subgenital plate with a medial carina, often compressed; with baso-lateral angles projecting and modified, but not as strongly as in Philmontis, sometimes with separate lateral sclerites. Ovipositor moderately curved, with dorsal valves widened and highest little behind midlength, apex acute.</p> <p>Coloration. Flagellum of antennae white or yellowish. Tegmen along anterior and posterior margins of light color or whitish, partly with dark spots, along central area with a broad, dark brown or black longitudinal band with dark brown or blackish main veins but often light veinlets even within the dark band.

They were originally deposited in “Museum Stettin” and had been later transferred to MZPW Warszawa. In MZPW there are three specimens of this species identified by Dohrn, of which the male and one female are labeled as “ Type ” and the second female as “Cotype”. Another female identified by Dohrn as L. hageni was found in ZMB Berlin ”; this female was not labeled as a type.</p> <p>(2) From the descriptions in Kuthy (1910) it is certain that he saw only a single female. For all species described in this publication, he did not give a note on the depository. But from his description, collector, and locality it is certain that the female specimen in MHNG must be regarded as the holotype of S. vittata Kuthy, 1910. The more as Kuthys’ description “ovipositor basi subcompressus, in parte tertia latissimus, apice acuminatus” leaves no doubt that Salomona vittata belongs to Philmontoides. Moreover, there is no difference between this female and the females of Dohrn’s series of L. hageni.</p> <p>Other specimens studied: Papua New Guinea: “ Neu-Guinea parte germanica”, leg. v.

J.L. Gressitt — 3 males (BPBM).</p> <p>Diagnosis and discussion. P. hageni is unique for the shape of the male titillators, which consist of a pair of transparent and narrow basic stems that carry at end large vaulted plates with rough surface. These plates are folded around midline when stuck inside body (Figs. 13A, E) but open to a longitudinally vaulted surface when free (Figs. 13B–D). This structure of the titillators may have evolved from widened hyaline structures standing vertically to the main titillator axis as occur e.g., in P. striatus sp. nov. and P. wau sp. nov. (Figs. 15F–K). On the other hand, a further development of the “umbrella-like” titillators led to more complex structures, in which both halves of the vaulted surface became different in size and shape as e.g., in P. lobatus (Naskrecki &amp; Rentz, 2010) or P. globosus sp. nov., or they became almost fully separated branches as in P. disjunctus sp. nov. (Fig. 14).</p> <p>Regarding the male stridulatory file on the underside of the left tegmen, P. hageni, P. lobatus, P. globosus and P. disjunctus have files with large, stout, and spaced teeth in the main part of the file, becoming smaller and narrow in apical area, while the other species of the genus have smaller and more densely arranged teeth. Also, the wide and large appendages of the male tenth abdominal tergite are similar between these four species and differ from the shapes in the other species of the genus. The wide male cerci of P. hageni, with concave internal surface with two spines, one on dorsal end and one on apical rim, differ however from those of P. lobatus, P. globosus and P. disjunctus, instead they resemble more the cercus shapes in P. affinis, P. commodus sp. nov., P. wau sp. nov. and P. striatus sp. nov. From the latter species, males of P. hageni differ however in details of the cerci and in the shape of the appendages of the tenth abdominal tergite. Females differ from other species of the genus by the shape of the subgenital plate.</p> <p>Description. Elongate species with tegmen reaching about end of hind femur (Fig. 9A). Pronotum elongate, disc with anterior and posterior margins convex, the latter covering only very base of stridulatory area of tegmen; transverse furrows interrupted in midline; lateral lobes not very deep with ventral margin slightly concave, at end forming a rounded angle with the lateral area of the hind margin that is projecting laterad and clearly visible from above. Prosternal spines long, in two females of medium length; mesosternal lobes obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded and with an angle or fold. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 5-8 / 3-10; (2) 6-9 / 1-3; (3) 9-15 / 9-18 (n = 18); hind knee lobes bispinose. In 4 males and 7 females also knee lobes of fore femur bi-spinose on both sides with second spines smaller than first spines; one female had a second spine at knee lobe of mid femur.</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file in about basal two thirds with large and spaced teeth, after a sinusoidal step, teeth abruptly narrowing and becoming denser and hardly perceptible toward end; Stridulatory file 1.27–1.34 mm long with 33–42 teeth, area with large teeth before step 0.92–1.05 mm with 16–20 teeth (n = 7 including type; Fig. 12A); some of the files appeared to be longer than the measurements given, but without countable teeth in that prolonged area. Tenth abdominal tergite little prolonged; apical margin with two compressed projections, together almost forming a circle with a long excision in midline, lateral areas of projections setose (Fig. 11A). Epiproct with concave lateral margins, swollen, diverging posteriorly and their apical angles projecting; apical margin convex. Paraprocts bowl-shaped with strongly concave dorsal and convex ventral surface. Cerci short, conical, apico-internal surface concavely excavated; dorsal margin terminating into two short lobes: internal lobe with a spine at tip, external lobe obtuse; ventral margin curved mediad, terminating into a rounded ventral and a longer narrow dorsal lobe with a spine at tip (Figs 10K–L, 11A). Subgenital plate deeply excised from base with excision terminating into a narrow furrow that little surpasses mid-length of plate, afterward with a faint medial carina; lateral areas ascending and along rim little curved laterad again; the subgenital plate terminates into a pair of narrow, in apical half cylindrical projections that carry at end on ventral surface the styli (Fig. 11A). Titillators in basal area whitish hyaline, simple, forming narrow, semi-transparent bands with out-curved base, in apical area extended laterally into large vaulted expansions with rough, brown surface; lateral end whitish hyaline and with wavy margin; on internal side covered by whitish membrane that also embeds the dark brown, narrow elongate and sinusoidally curved lateral sclerites (Fig. 13C–E).</p> <p>Female. Subgenital plate: ventral disc with convex, converging and upcurved lateral areas narrowing posteriorly and at end divided into a pair of in ventral view triangular, in lateral view upcurved, rounded lobes, triangularly excised in between; central area flat or faintly concave, with a strong medial carina along mid-length of disc; on both sides at very base with a roughly oval baso-lateral sclerite arising from a membranous latero-proximal expansion of the plate.</p> <p>Coloration. Face of general color, antennal scrobae with internal surface darkened, scapus with internal surface dark brown; vertex with dark brown bands behind compounds eyes, or with a third brown band in middle, or vertex completely brown with a light band between eyes; pronotum with disc of general color, lateral lobes dark brown with one, two or three light spots; disc light with small brown spots at anterior margin or at anterior and posterior margins, and eventually a short or long brown stroke in middle split by a light line; tegmina along anterior and posterior margins of light color, partly with dark spots, in central area dark brown with light veinlets, radius and cubitus brown, media thickened and black; hind femur with black pre-genicular ring.</p> <p>Measurements (10 males, 16 females).—Body w/wings: male 35–43, female 36–49; body w/o wings: male 27.5–37.0, female 25–45; pronotum: male 7.0–8.2, female 7.2–9.5; tegmen: male 22–30, female 20–30; hind femur: male 22.5–27.0, female 22.5–27.0; longest antenna: male&gt;60 broken, female&gt;70–220; ovipositor: female 12.5– 16.0 mm.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/DB181868FF85FFD2FF67D62C2949F362	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

P. lobatus is similar to P. hageni, it can be separated from it by the shape of the narrow, elongate male cerci which are at end divided into a narrow dorsal and a wider ventral branch that is at end subdivided into two short lobes, while in P. hageni the cerci are shorter, have the internal surface vaulted and terminate into two spined lobes and one obtuse lobe. Both species also differ markedly by the shape of the male titillators in that the widened, vaulted and almost completely recurved apical branches have the distal side long and the proximal side short while in P. hageni, the apical area of the titillator forms a simple vaulted plate with both sides of equal length. The females of both species differ by the shape of the subgenital plate that has the baso-lateral sclerites arising from the anterior area of the lateral margin of the plate in P. lobatus, while in P. hageni they arise at the very base, from a membranous latero-proximal expansion of the plate. From its closest relatives, P. globosus sp. nov. and P. disjunctus sp. nov., males of P. lobatus can best be separated by the shape of the male titillators as outlined in the key.</p> <p>Remark. From the females collected together with males of this species it seems that there are two different shapes of female subgenital plates in that species: one with a pair of grooves and long baso-lateral projections (Fig. 17E–F; also figured in Naskrecki and Rentz 2010) and the other without groves and with shorter, rounded projections from basal lateral margin of the plate (Fig. 17C–D). It is however very likely that the shape with groves results from females with not fully hardened cuticula when collected soon after final ecdysis. Deformations of the female subgenital plate were also observed in other species studied for this publication, compare e.g., Figs 17I with J or Figs 17O with P.</p> <p>Description. Elongate species with tegmen almost reaching end of hind femur. Prosternal spines long or of medium length; mesosternal lobes narrowly rounded, obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded with an angle or fold. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 5-7 / 6-8; (2) 6 / 1-4; (3) 9-10 / 8-15; hind knee lobes bispinose; in the two males studied also knee lobes of fore femur at internal side bispinose, but second spine very small.</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file in about basal two thirds with large and spaced teeth; after a sinusoidal step, teeth abruptly narrowing and becoming denser and hardly perceptible toward end; total file length 1.2 mm with 40 teeth; area with largest teeth 0.68 mm with 16 teeth; area on step 0.15 mm with 8 teeth of declining size; apical area 0.15 mm with 16 tiny teeth (Fig. 12B). Tenth abdominal tergite vaulted, in apical area with a narrowed, straight projection that is at end divided into a pair of downcurved, compressed and widened projections that form together an oval with open end embracing an ovoid space (Fig. 11B). Epiproct with swollen and convex lateral margins, with a medial furrow and slightly excised apex. Paraprocts compressed, auricular with a short, obtuse, apical projection. Cerci in basal area cylindrical and very faintly curved mediad, in about apical third divided into a narrow dorsal process terminating into a short spine and a wider ventral process that is dorso-ventrally compressed, conically narrowed and curved mediad, but in apical area it is strongly laterally compressed and divided into two rounded lobes, dorsal lobe with a curved spine at tip, ventral lobe simply rounded (Fig. 10I–J). Subgenital plate similar to that of P. hageni: deeply excised from base with excision terminating into a narrow furrow that little surpasses midlength of plate, afterward with indication of a faint medial carina; lateral areas ascending and along rim little curved laterad again; the subgenital plate terminates into a pair of narrow projections that are slightly curved mediad and carry at oblique apical margin the styli (Fig. 11B). Titillators with basal area long and narrow, running parallel but not fused with each other, at base for a short distance curved sideward, at posterior end curved moderately sideward and widened to an elongate apical branch that is curved along longitudinal axis for about 180° into a narrow, nearly parallel-sided, elongate ventro-apical surface and a short dorso-proximal surface; ventro-apical surface toward end oval and widened, just before end it carries a small disc-shaped process with granular surface and rim; sinuate lateral sclerites very stout, running from about base of apical area of titillators sideward (Figs 14A–C).</p> <p>Female. Subgenital plate similar to that of P. hageni; elongate with a strong medial carina, downcurved and approaching lateral margins and at end divided into a pair of short angular projections; at both sides from basal lateral margins with a semi-oval lateral expansion (Figs 17C–D). In females with not fully hardened cuticula when collected, with a pair of shallow groves in basal half, the basal, lateral projections prolonged, followed by a distortion of the lateral margins (Figs 17E–F).</p> <p>Coloration. Scapus with internal surface brown. Vertex with three brown bands, the medial band split by a light line that can be indistinct or absent, or the vertex is dark brown with or without light spots. Pronotum with paranota dark brown with one or two light spots; disc light with or without an incomplete narrow brown medial band split in midline by a light line; anterior margin sometimes also darkened. Hind knees with a dark ring not completely reaching apex of hind femur or only with a dark spot at top.</p> <p>Discussion. Six specimens from the Star Range in Papua (Indonesia) have been studied. Two males and three females had been collected at 25 m altitude, one female at 1500 m altitude. The two males fully agree with the description and illustrations for P. lobatus in Naskrecki &amp; Rentz (2010). Unfortunately, in the original description of this species, females are not fully described except for the ovipositor and an image of the subgenital plate but without description. From the specimens at hand, only the subgenital plate of the female collected at 1500 m agrees with the image given in Naskrecki &amp; Rentz (2010) while the females collected together with the males at 25 m altitude have a subgenital plates differing in shape from the image in the original description and from the female collected at 1500 m. The subgenital plate of the females collected at 25 m look similar to that of P. hageni but the globular baso-lateral extensions of the subgenital plate arise directly from the anterior lateral margin of the plate (Figs 17C–D) while in P. hageni they arise laterally of the very basal margin of the subgenital plate and are obviously moveable against it (Figs 17 A–B). From another similar species, P. globosus sp. nov., females of P. lobatus cannot be clearly separated while males show distinct differences in the shape of the phallus complex.</p> <p>Measurements (2 males, 4 females).—Body w/wings: male 32, female 36–38; body w/o wings: male 28–30, female 27–32; pronotum: male 6.7–6.8, female 7.0–7.5; tegmen: male 24.0–25.5, female 26–29; hind femur: male 22, female 23.5–25.0; ovipositor: female 13.5–15.5 mm.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/DB181868FF87FFEDFF67D1DE2B5AF772	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

J. Sedlacek — 1 female (BPBM).</p> <p>Diagnosis. Males of the new species have the general appearance and the abdominal appendages similar to those of P. lobatus (Naskrecki &amp; Rentz, 2010), but the male cerci are less strongly curved in P. globosus sp. nov. than in P. lobatus and have the apical margin of the widened ventral apical branch little concave instead of angularly excised. The titillators of both species have a similar basic plan, but in P. globosus the proximal apical branches are wider and longer and semi-oval instead of wide triangular, and the distal branches shorter and more strongly vaulted than in P. lobatus. The female subgenital plate of P. globosus is similar to or identical with that of P. lobatus although in the specimens at hand it appears wider and shorter in P. globosus while narrower and longer in P. lobatus. But the differences might be due to distortions or individual variation. Thus, females of both species cannot be differentiated with certainty without corresponding males. The female subgenital plate of P. globosus is also similar to that of P. hageni (Dohrn, 1905). It differs by the baso-lateral extensions, which in P. globosus arise from the latero-anterior angles of the plate and are thus fixed to the plate while in P. hageni they arise from the very base of the plate. Males of P. globosus differ from those of P. hageni by the narrow, about cylindrical male cerci instead of being widened with concave internal surface and by the shape of the titillators.</p> <p>Description. Elongate species with tegmen nearly reaching end of hind femur (Figs 9G–H). Pronotum elongate; disc with anterior margin convex but faintly concave in middle, posterior margin broadly rounded, covering only very base of stridulatory area of tegmen in male; lateral lobes not very deep, ventral margin slightly concave, at end forming a rounded angle with posterior area that is projecting laterad and clearly visible from above. Prosternal spines long; mesosternal lobes obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded with an angle or fold. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 3-8 / 6-8; (2) 6-9 / 1-4; (3) 11-13 / 9-15 (n = 4); hind knee lobes bispinose; in one male also anterior knee lobe of fore femur bispinose.</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file in about basal two thirds with large and spaced teeth, after a sinusoidal step, teeth abruptly narrowing and becoming denser and hardly perceptible toward end; total file length 1.32 mm with 38 distinct and about 10 indistinct teeth; area with countable teeth 1.29 mm with 38 teeth; area with large teeth before step 0.92 mm with 17 teeth; area with largest teeth 0.68 mm with 12 teeth (n=1; Fig. 12C). Tenth abdominal tergite strongly convex with short rounded excision from base, in apical area markedly down curved, hind margin on both sides concave, in middle prolonged into a process with concave lateral margins that shortly after divides into a pair of compressed projections that widen toward tip and embrace an oval space that is open at hind margin (Fig. 11C). Cerci with basal rim forming a narrow furrow with a small bump at both sides, afterward rounded, slightly conical and little curved mediad, terminating into a dorsal and a ventral projection; dorsal projection compressed, with narrowing margins, at end rounded with a small, curved spine; ventral projection wide, dorso-ventrally compressed, at end with a triangular ventral projection with straight hind margin and with a small spine below its dorsal hind angle (Figs 10E–F). Subgenital plate strongly, triangularly excised from base to almost mid-length, afterward with a fine carinula along midline; central disc at base slightly convex, afterward with little converging lateral margins; margins upcurved and at dorsal end curved laterad, forming in basal half a narrow concave, in apical half a wide convex rim; the plate terminates into a pair of narrow, about rounded projections that carry styli at oblique ventroapical end (Fig. 11C). Titillators with basal area long and narrow, running parallel but not fused with each other, at base for a short distance curved sideward; at posterior end curved moderately sideward and widened to vaulted laminar branches; these branches appear in apical view to have the dorsal rims curved in an about 180° angle against each other while the lateral surfaces are strongly bulging on both sides with internal surface more strongly bulging and shorter, external surface less strongly bulging and longer (Figs 14D–G). There is also a pair of narrow, wavy lateral sclerites near bases of titillators running vertically to the titillator axis.</p> <p>Female. Subgenital plate with baso-lateral expansions large, oval, and moderately swollen; disc little bent along mid-line forming a stout medial carina; lateral margins converging, ending into a pair of triangular extensions with obtuse tips, hind margin angularly excised in between (Figs 16I–L).</p> <p>Coloration. Face of general color, antennal scrobae light or darkened, internal surface of scapus and fastigium verticis brown or black; vertex, occiput and upper area of genae black or dark brown; dorsal surface of pronotum of general color, in posterior area with indication of a dark medial band, lateral lobes black with one or two light spots, margins black but partly of light color; tegmina along anterior and posterior margins of light color, partly with dark spots, in central area dark brown with light veinlets, along central area thickened and blackish brown; hind femur with black pre-genicular ring (Fig. 16I).</p> <p>Measurements (3 males, 1 female).—Body w/wings: male 32.5–35.0, female 36; body w/o wings: male 26–30, female 33; pronotum: male 6.5–7.8, female 7; tegmen: male 22–25, female 26; hind femur: male 21.5–23.0, female 24; antenna: male 120–130; ovipositor: female 14 mm.</p> <p>Etymology.

The new species is best diagnosed by the shape of the male titillators that have the widened apical area almost completely divided into two branches, which is unique within the genus. The male cerci of P. disjunctus sp. nov. resemble those in P. lobatus (Naskrecki &amp; Rentz, 2010) and P. globosus sp. nov. They differ from both in details of length, width, shape and curvature of the male cerci as illustrated in Figs 10E–J. The dorsal, apical projection of the male cercus of P. disjunctus sp. nov. is stouter than in both other species and shorter than in P. lobatus.</p> <p>Description. Habitus elongate with tegmen nearly reaching end of hind femur (Fig. 9D). Pronotum disc with anterior margin faintly concave, posterior margin broadly rounded.

Stridulatory file (Fig. 12D) in about basal two thirds with large and spaced teeth, after a sinusoidal step, teeth abruptly narrowing and becoming denser and hardly perceptible toward end; total file length 1.35–1.45 mm with 26–29 distinct and ca 13–17 indistinct teeth at end; area with countable teeth 1.10–1.24 mm with 26–29 teeth; area with large teeth before step 0.85–1.00 mm with 15–18 teeth; area with largest teeth 0.66–0.69 mm with 12 teeth (n = 2). Tenth abdominal tergite strongly convex, centro-apical area elevated against baso-lateral area, hind margin prolonged into a pair of compressed, oblique projections, widening toward end and embrace an oval space that is open at end (Fig. 11D). Cerci at base rounded, slightly conical and little curved mediad, at ventro-internal margin with a very narrow rim; before apical third, cercus divided into a dorsal and a ventral projection; dorsal projection compressed, with narrowing margins, at end rounded and provided with a small, curved spine; ventral projection wide, but little narrower than basal stem, with convex external and straight internal surface, at end triangularly widening, compressed with bulging dorsal and ventral margins, dorsal margin terminating into a small curved spine, ventral margin with obtuse end (Figs 10G–H). Subgenital plate strongly, triangularly excised from base to almost mid-length, afterward with a fine carinula along midline; central disc at base slightly convex, afterward with slightly converging lateral margins; margins upcurved and at dorsal end curved laterad, forming in basal half a narrow concave, in apical half a wide convex rim; the plate terminates into a pair of narrow, about rounded projections that carry the styli at oblique ventro-apical end. Titillators with basal area long and narrow, running parallel to but not fused with each other, at base for a short distance curved sideward; at posterior end, titillators curved moderately sideward and become widened into flattened but little vaulted, in top view bean-shaped apical areas; nearly completely separate from that branch, but arising from it at very base is another flattened apical branch that is longer than the bean-shaped branch, about parallel sided with little widened end that carries a small, stiffened pad in apical area (Figs 14H–K).

The male differs from other species of the genus by the simple, short and obtuse apical lobes of the tenth abdominal tergite and by the male cerci that have the dorsal projection arising from base of cercus and are markedly prolonged and upcurved instead of downcurved in the other species. Furthermore, the apical projection of the cercus is prolonged, and curved instead of small or of moderate size. The species can also be characterized by the delicate, membranous apical area of the male titillators that are bent in a 90° angle against the long and narrow basal stems. The female is so far unique in the genus for the shape of the subgenital plate that is provided with a pair of obliquely transverse furrows in basal half, which are provided with a rippled bottom.</p> <p>Description. Elongate species with tegmen reaching about end of hind femur (Fig. 9I). Pronotum elongate; disc with anterior and posterior margins convex, the latter covering only very base of stridulatory area of tegmen, transverse furrows interrupted in middle; lateral lobes rather narrow, ventral margin slightly concave, at end forming a rounded angle with lateral hind margin projecting laterad and clearly visible from above. Prosternal spines long; medial plate with a tubercle at both posterior angles; mesosternal lobes obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded with an angle or fold. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 5-7 / 7-9; (2) 5-7 / 2-5; (3) 10- 14 / 8-15 (n = 5); hind knee lobes bispinose; in a single female also fore femur at anterior knee lobes of both legs bi-spinose, but second spine minute.</p> <p>Male.

J.L. Gressitt — 1 female (BPBM).</p> <p>Diagnosis. P. commodus sp. nov. belongs to the group of species that have widened male cerci with concave internal surface (Fig. 10C). It differs from species with similar cerci as P. affinis (Will.) and P. wau sp. nov. by the rather long, strong, and curved dorsal projection of the cercus and by the shape of the tenth abdominal tergite that is provided at end with a pair of compressed, narrowing and curved apical projections similar to the situation in P. hageni (Dohrn) and related species (Fig. 11E). These projections differ however from those of the latter species in not being downcurved but running at the same level as the dorsal area of the tenth abdominal tergite, are narrowing toward end and little overlapping with their narrow ends instead of ending into wide rounded lobes that are downcurved and ending clearly separated from each other. The shape of the tenth tergite of P. commodus is also similar to that of P. wau sp. nov. But in P. commodus the apical projections are running at the same level as the dorsal area of the tenth tergite and are slightly overlapping at end, while in P. wau they are stouter and strongly curved ventrad toward end. Both species differ also by the shape of the male cerci in that the dorsal internal projection is stout and long in P. commodu s while narrow and short in P. wau. Also, the shapes of the male titillators and the number and density of teeth on the male stridulatory file are different: in P. commodu s the file is provided with narrow but distinct teeth from base to tip while in P. wau teeth are distinct only in little more than basal half of the file, then becoming narrow and indistinct toward end. The female subgenital plate of the new species resembles somewhat the shape of collapsed plates in P. lobatus (N. &amp; R., 2010) but has the subbasal area more widely constricted from both sides thus that the basal lateral projections appear longer; also, the main area of the plate is in anterior area much wider and the lateral margins more strongly constricted than in the latter species, and the pair of impressions of the plate are oval instead of rounded in P. lobatus (Fig. 17M).</p> <p>Description. Elongate species with tegmen reaching about end of hind femur (Fig. 9F). Pronotum disc with anterior and posterior margins convex, but anterior margin in middle faintly concave, hind margin covering only base of stridulatory area of tegmen, transverse furrows interrupted in middle; lateral lobes not very deep, ventral margin slightly concave, at end forming a rounded angle with posterior area that is projecting laterad and visible from above; hind margin broadly rounded. Prosternal spines long; mesosternal lobes obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded but with an angle or fold. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 3-6 / 2-9; (2) 5-6 / 1-4; (3) 9-11 / 9-12 (n = 6); hind knee lobes bispinose. Two males have also the knee lobes of anterior femur with a second smaller spine on one or on both sides; 1 female has both prosternal spines of markedly different length.</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file with teeth narrower than in other species of the genus and rather dense throughout; greatest teeth before and around mid-length, without step, teeth gradually narrowing toward end, but countable throughout; stridulatory file 1.42–1.70 mm long (mean 1.61 mm) with 50–61 teeth (mean 57 teeth); basal area with large teeth 0.80–0.92 mm (mean 0.84 mm) with 25–30 teeth (mean 27 teeth); area with largest teeth 0.58–0.78 mm (mean 0.69 mm) with 18–23 teeth (mean 19.5 teeth), n = 4 (Fig. 12G). Tenth abdominal tergite with a fine furrow in midline, hemispheric on both sides of furrow; at end extended into a pair of curved conical processes that embrace an oval empty space, open behind (Fig. 11E). Cerci at base cylindrical, this area hidden under projections of tenth tergite; shortly afterward compressed and strongly widened ventro-distad forming a large semi-oval lobe; at transition from cylindrical to compressed area from dorsal margin with a long internal process, that is wide and compressed near base but strongly narrowing thereafter and curved toward end, carrying a small spine from dorsal end of rounded tip; compressed apical area of cercus also with a short spine on dorsal margin shortly before rounded end of lobe (Fig. 11E). Subgenital plate vaulted, angularly excised from base, afterward with medial carina, lateral margins bent dorsad and then laterad; lateral margins convex, at end extended into short rounded lobes that carry small styli. Titillators separate, in basal area curved laterad and vaulted; apical area widened, roughly oval and surrounded by large expansions that carry along rim and distal side of titillator a wide, oblique area with dense long hairs, at proximal side of that area with short and less distinct hairs and scattered large granules; external surface with very fine granulation; also along central area between both titillators with fine granulation; at end of the hairy area with a very small, vaulted cap (Figs 15D–E).</p> <p>Female. Subgenital plate in posterior area with concave lateral margins, terminating into a pair of triangular lobes with narrow tip; disc with a medial carina; toward base, surface becoming more or less membranous resulting into a pair of large oval depressions with marked rims; in sub-basal area, plate largely excised from both sides, but at very base widening laterally again forming a pair of longitudinally compressed lateral lobes that are in central area membranous, in lateral areas sclerotized with rounded ends (Figs 17M–N).</p> <p>Coloration. Face of general color, antennal scrobae, internal surface of scapus and fastigium verticis dark brown or black; vertex, occiput and upper area of genae black or dark brown; dorsal surface of pronotum of general color, in posterior area with indication of a dark medial band, lateral lobes black with one or two light spots, margins black but partly of light color; tegmina along anterior and posterior margins of light color, partly with dark spots, in central area dark brown or black with light veinlets; hind femur with black pre-genicular ring.</p> <p>Measurements (4 males, 4 females).—Body w/wings: male 33–37, female 37–40; body w/o wings: male 23–28, female 24–30; pronotum: male 6.5–7.5, female 7.8–8.2; tegmen: male 25.5–29.0, female 28–31; hind femur: male 20.7–22.0, female 23.5–24.0; antenna: male&gt;70 (broken), female 145; ovipositor: female 14–15 mm.</p> <p>Etymology.

P. Sganshan — 1 female (BPBM).</p> <p>Diagnosis. With regard to the male abdominal appendages, P. wau sp. nov. resembles P. affinis (Willemse, 1966) and P. commodus sp. nov. It differs from P. affinis by the extensions of the tenth abdominal tergite that are stout and curved instead of being narrow and pointing straight below and from P. commodus by the down-curved and strengthened instead of dorso-ventrally compressed and flattened extensions. From both species it also differs by thinner and more delicate, spined projections of the male cercus. Of characteristic shape are also the male titillators of P. wau that have the apical area bent in a 90° angle against the thin basal stem, are strongly elongated forming a membranous but darkened semi-roll carrying on one end a serrulate, darkened rim. That structure remotely resembles a more basic shape of titillators as found in P. hageni (Dohrn, 1905). A unique feature within the genus is also the shape of the stridulatory file on underside of the male left tegmen, which has more than the apical third of the file reduced to minute teeth that are probably not used for stridulation. The main part of the file carries teeth of medium size, not as stout as in P. hageni and related species. The female subgenital plate is so far unique as it carries a pair of shallow grooves in the apical area of the plate while in other species of the genus such grooves can be found in anterior area of the plate, or they are without any grooves. The anterior margin of the subgenital plate carries a huge widening that is however in not well-preserved specimens often hidden under the preceding sternite (Fig. 17P). The lateral margins of the subgenital plate are little narrowing posteriorly; in less well-preserved specimens or collected when still soft the plate may have shrunk and appear to have parallel lateral margins, but the apical grooves are distinct; the very base of the plate in these specimens is hidden under the preceding sternite but the lateral expansions are usually still visible on both sides of the hidden area (Fig. 17O).</p> <p>Description. Elongate species with tegmen reaching to about end of hind femur (Fig. 9C). Pronotum elongate, disc with anterior margin rounded, often faintly concave in middle, posterior margin broadly rounded. Prosternal spines long; mesosternal lobes obtuse; metasternal lobes rounded and with an angle or fold. Femora with the following number of spines on ventral margins: (1) 4-7 / 2-9, mostly 6-7; (2) 0-7, mostly 5-6 / 1-7, mostly 2-3; (3) 7-12, mostly 9-10 / 5-15, mostly 9-10 (n = 38); hind knee lobes with two apical spines on both sides; five specimens have also the anterior knee lobes on one or on both sides with two spines.</p> <p>Male. Stridulatory file (Fig. 12H) in about basal two thirds with large and spaced teeth; after a sinusoidal step, teeth abruptly narrowing and becoming denser and hardly perceptible toward end; stridulatory file total length including uncountable teeth at end 1.08–1.33 (mean 1.24) mm; area with countable teeth 0.94–1.20 (mean 1.10) mm with 34–55 (mean 45) teeth, area with large teeth including step 0.70–0.95 (mean 0.85) mm with 19–34 (mean 27) teeth, area with largest teeth 0.55–0.69 (mean 0.63) mm with 14–19 (mean 17) teeth (n = 9). Tenth abdominal tergite strongly convex; anterior margin rounded, in middle slightly concave, on disc with a slight medial furrow; hind margin in more dorsal area concave and extended into a pair of curved projections that become conical and downcurved toward end, thus embracing an oval interspace with open end (Fig. 11I). Cerci rather short, only at very base nearly cylindrical, afterward widening with convex external and strongly concave internal surface; dorsointernal margin with a triangularly projecting process that terminates into a finger-shaped and little curved projection with a small, acute spine at tip; latero-ventral area of cercus widened in about apical half to a wide, compressed lobe with rounded rim, concave internal and convex external surface; from internal-apical margin of that lobe arises at end a narrow, finger-shaped and little curved process with a small in-curved spine at end (Fig. 10D). Epiproct rounded or triangularly rounded with two large lateral swellings and a medial furrow. Paraprocts compressed, with concave external surface and internal margin swollen. Subgenital plate with anterior margin triangularly excised, ventral surface with a very fine medial carinula, lateral margins in ventral view in about basal half convex, in apical half concave, but roundly upcurved in both areas and at dorsal end curved laterad, thus forming compressed dorsolateral rims; apical margin of disc roundly excised forming a pair of little conical, moderately long projections that carry rather long styli at end. Titillators with baso-central area forming a pair of compressed and elongate clasps that in basal area are curved laterad and slightly widened with rounded end; at apical end titillators laterally continued into rather narrow bands with little widened base, strongly narrowing thereafter, at end widening to a semi-disc shaped plate with darkened rim, finely serrulate margin and granular surface; from more basal margin of apical area of each titillator arises a compressed, membranous projection with granular and in part strongly hairy surface; on distal side near transient zone between central and apical area of titillators with a bunch of long bristles; membranous cover of distal areas of titillators with large dark dots (Figs 15I–K).</p> <p>Female. Last abdominal tergite furrowed and apex short conically projecting at both sides of furrow. Subgenital plate with very base of central area in most specimens at hand hidden below apical margin of last abdominal sternite. At very base of subgenital plate on both sides with a sclerotized process standing vertically to main surface of the plate and terminating laterally into a short, projecting cone; main part of subgenital plate with more or less converging lateral margins; apical area with a pair of oval impressions separated by a fine medial carina; apical margin bi-triangular with angles obtusely rounded (Fig. 17P). In less well-preserved specimens, main area of plate in ventral view parallel-sided or nearly so, with a fine medial carina, a pair of oval impressions in apical area, and upcurved lateral margins; apical margin with rounded lateral angles (Fig. 17O).</p> <p>Coloration. Face of general color, antennal scrobae light or darkened, internal surface of scapus and fastigium verticis brown or black; vertex, occiput and upper area of genae black or dark brown but posterior area of vertex often of light general color. Pronotum with dorsal surface of general color, in posterior area with indication of a dark medial band along a weak carina, lateral lobes black with one or two light spots, margins black but partly of light color; tegmina along anterior and posterior margins of light color, partly with dark spots, in central area dark brown with light veinlets, radius and media brown, cubitus cu1 thickened and at least in basal area black; cu2 of light color; all these veins getting lighter toward apical area. Hind femur with black pre-genicular ring.</p> <p>Measurements (22 males, 17 females).—Body w/wings: male 33–37, female 35–39; body w/o wings: male 25–32, female 25–32; pronotum: male 6.5–9.0, female 6.5–8.2; tegmen: male 23.5–27.0, female 25.5–29.0; hind femur: male 20.5–23.5, female 20.5–23.0; antenna: male&gt;60–140; ovipositor: female 14.0– 16.5 mm.</p> <p>Etymology. The new species is named after the type locality, noun in apposition.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/DB181868FFA8FFFFFF67D10F2C18F1B8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
