024DE714D24CAE5E07C6885DFC16F9DF.taxon	discussion	Comments. The subtribe is differentiated mainly by the following characters: head globose, palps reduced; hind wings always present, truncated at apex, exceeding forewing; hind tibiae with three outer and three (or less) inner subapical spurs close to the tibia apex; male epiproctus ornamented or not; female ovipositor curved and elongated. The male genitalia can be tubular, with the pseudepiphallic sclerite elongated, subdivided, and curved upward; or with a simpler structure, endophallic sclerite in the shape of an inverted V without being noticeably prolonged. Among other characters that it shares with other members of the subtribe: the mirror and harp with numerous veins dividing it, the shape of the distal part of ovipositor, which is slightly thickened, acute at the apex, with distinctly widened (high) subapical part of upper valves and well exposed apical part of lower valves in profile. In all variation in the taxonomic rank of the Paragryllidae / inae / ini classification, we propose that three groups should be revalidated from the Desutter-Grandcolas’ classification (1987, 1988, 1990), originally described as subfamilies or tribes of Paragryllidae. However, we suggest they be treated as generic groups for now: Paragryllae Desutter-Grandcolas, 1987 n. stat., Rumeae Desutter-Grandcolas, 1988 n. stat. and Benoistellae Desutter-Grandcolas, 1987 n. stat. These three groups are well defined and have characteristics that clearly and precisely differentiate them, especially characteristics of the male genitalia. If the classification changes, eventually, these groups could be treated as subtribes. The genera are grouped as follows the next key.	en	Cadena-Castañeda, Oscar J., Páez, Geraldine, Buitrago, Oscar, Quintana-Arias, Ronald Fernando, Tavares, Gustavo Costa (2021): Studies of Neotropical crickets: New Paragryllina taxa (Orthoptera: Phalangopsidae) with comments on several previously described species.

024DE714D24DAE5807C689CDFC47FE5F.taxon	discussion	Comments. The species of this genus are distinguished by their well-developed wings, males with numerous arched veins; female tegmina with a vein separating the dorsal area from the lateral one; in the dorsal area, the veins are irregular. The males have the third internal apical spur of the hind tibia widened, possibly of a glandular type; epiproctus with ornamentations. Regarding the male genitalia, the endophallic sclerite has an inverted “ V ” shape, accompanied by two terminal apodemes, the endophallic cavity is membranous and more or less compressed; the ectophallic apodemes, rami, pseudepiphallus, and its parameres are well developed. The copulatory papilla of the female is compressed, subrectangular, curved at the apex, which can be straight or divided (Desutter-Grandcolas, 1992; Gorochov, 2007; 2014). Three recently described species from Trinidad and Tobago have taxonomic conflicts. Paragryllus cocos Otte & Perez-Gelabert, 2009 nomen nudum: there is no valid original description that meets the minimum requirements of the zoological nomenclature code. Only the repository collection and a couple of photographs were cited for this species, without morphological information. Paragryllus arima Otte & Perez-Gelabert, 2009 n. syn. is proposed as a synonym under Ectecous insolitus (Otte & Perez-Gelabert, 2009) n. comb. (originally described as Paragryllus). Both species have the same male genital structure and wing venation. The two species fit the diagnostic characters of Ectecous Saussure, 1878 (Paragryllini: Neoaclina), such as the presence of the elongated tympanum on the outer margin of fore tibia, and male genitalia with pseudepiphallic sclerite regressed, without a median process; dorsal valves more or less hypertelic (Desutter- Grandcolas, 1992). E. insolitus n. comb. is the first species of the genus known for Trinidad and Tobago, Caribbean region. The species currently known are distributed from French Guyana (Cayena) to Brazil (Espirito Santo), and with this new record, their distribution should be even wider in northern South America. Paragryllus is the most widely distributed of the tribe, occurring from Mexico to Brazil, including islands from the Caribbean region, and two species of doubtful affiliation from Africa, which must be studied to clarify their status. Based on the differences found in the species with neotropical distribution, they are grouped into three subgenera. African species are kept as incertae sedis (Paragryllus simplex Chopard, 1948 and Paragryllus tricaudatus (Fairmaire, 1858 )), and possibly should be included in a different genus.	en	Cadena-Castañeda, Oscar J., Páez, Geraldine, Buitrago, Oscar, Quintana-Arias, Ronald Fernando, Tavares, Gustavo Costa (2021): Studies of Neotropical crickets: New Paragryllina taxa (Orthoptera: Phalangopsidae) with comments on several previously described species.

Body predominantly ocher brown with dark brown and yellow stripe (Figs 4 A – C). Head ochre with almost grey-brown spots and stripes; antennal scape partly light, and dark brown antennal flagellum having sparse, small, and almost indistinct lightish spots (Fig. 4 B). Pronotum mostly brown, pronotal disc ochre, posterior margin of pronotal disc outlined in yellow. Fore and middle femora brown spotted; hind femora ochre with numerous brownish oblique lines on the outer surface and several spots on inner surface and apex, tarsi almost dark brown. Tegmina with lateral and anterior part ochregrey, not dark; veins of lateral field gold; hind wings greyish (Fig. 4 C). Abdomen and terminalia dark brown. Head almost as wide as high in frontal view; maxillary palpi mid-sized, third and fourth subequal and cylindrical, the fifth flattened, slightly dilated from the base to the apex. Pronotum rather short, wider than long, anterior margin slightly concave, posterior margin straight (Fig. 4 C). Legs. Fore tibia with tympana small and ovoid, on both sides, and armed at the apex with a small spur on each side; mid tibia armed with two mid-sized spurs at the apex on each side. Hind tibia dorsally with three apical spurs on both sides, the mid spur of outer margin is longer than the modified spur on the inner side. Tegmina with oval and transverse mirror, wider than long, with six dividing veins; harp with eight dividing veins; apical area moderately pronounced (Fig. 4 C); stridulation file with 178 teeth (Fig. 4 E). Abdomen. Epiproctus with long paired processes, 2.5 times longer than epiproctus, digitiform, and dorsoventrally flattened. Subgenital plate rectangular, longer than wide, and distally with a mid and small notch. Male genitalia. Pseudepiphallic sclerite with bristles on median lobes (Fig. 5); lateral lobe conical, with apex rounded, and slightly curved downward (Figs 5 A, D). Pseudepiphallic paramere is divided into two branches, slim and thin ventral branch with a sharp ventrolateral prolongation before the apex; dorsal branch lanceolate with a ventral and small prolongation at the mid of its length in lateral view (Fig. 5 D). In dorsal view, arc with a mid-U-shaped notch (Fig. 5 A). Ectophallic fold cylindrical, with rounded apex, moderately long, prolonged to median lobe level (Figs. 5 A – B). Endophallic sclerite flattened, and divergent (Fig. 5 B). Rami as a lateral plate curved inward on ventral and dorsal margin (Fig. 5 D). Ectophallic apodeme mostly membranous, longer than rami, and with the same thickness from the base to the apex (Figs 5 A, B, D). Female. Unknown. Measurements (in mm). Holotype: LB: 24. Pr: 4.2. Teg: 18.5. HF: 17. HT: 18. Comparison. P. (P.) lyrae n. sp. is the second species of the genus reported for Costa Rica (south of the country, near the Pacific coast), the first species was P. (P.) eclogos (south of the country, near the Atlantic coast). The new species is closer to P. (P.) eclogos, but this differs from the new species because, according to its original description, it only has a small inner and no outer tympanum. Also, the ectophallic fold is short, slightly apparent in the middle of the pseudepiphallic sclerite in dorsal view; on the other hand, the branches of the pseudepiphallic paramere do not have the additional and pointed ventral prolongations, which are present in the new species. P. (P.) lyrae n. sp., is smaller (24 mm) and with fewer teeth in the stridulatory file (178 teeth) vs P. (P.) eclogos 25 mm length and 299 teeth.	en	Cadena-Castañeda, Oscar J., Páez, Geraldine, Buitrago, Oscar, Quintana-Arias, Ronald Fernando, Tavares, Gustavo Costa (2021): Studies of Neotropical crickets: New Paragryllina taxa (Orthoptera: Phalangopsidae) with comments on several previously described species.

Unfortunately, this species is very poorly described, and the sparse data are confusing, perhaps erroneous and not informative: e. g., “ File teeth with long wings ” (how can a stridulatory file or teeth file have long wings? There is evidence of a lapse in character, perhaps the author was referring to the fact that the insect has long wings.). “ With no obvious metanotal glands. With small inner and no outer tympanum ” (this character must be reviewed in the type specimen; once the other described and valid species have tympana on both sides of the fore tibia). “ Antennae with bristles ”. It is necessary to redescribe this species, detailing and reviewing the morphological characteristics. Another problem is the holotype specimen which was designated a female, but it is actually a male. The female is not known.	en	Cadena-Castañeda, Oscar J., Páez, Geraldine, Buitrago, Oscar, Quintana-Arias, Ronald Fernando, Tavares, Gustavo Costa (2021): Studies of Neotropical crickets: New Paragryllina taxa (Orthoptera: Phalangopsidae) with comments on several previously described species.

024DE714D244AE5707C68DB4FB36FEEB.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This new genus is dedicated to the memory of Anastasio Alfaro González (1865 ‒ 1951), for his valuable contributions to Costa Rican science, and the creation of the National Museum of Costa Rica, the institution he directed from 1887 to 1930. The dedication of this genus also involves his great-great-grandson Jim Córdoba Alfaro, who has followed in the footsteps of Anastasio Alfaro and makes valuable efforts to contribute to the conservation in Costa Rica. The Latin word – gryllus is added to the end of the genus name, which means “ cricket ” and is usually used in cricket names. Although the last component of the name is masculine, the gender of the name is being established as neuter. Comparison. This new genus differs from the other genera of the Paragryllina subtribe by the texture and thickness of the tegmina, thicker than in the other taxa, and very long cerci, 1.5 times longer than the body (the cerci of the other genera it does not exceed the total length of the body) (Fig. 6 A). Regarding the male genitalia, Alfarogryllus n. gen., contrasts with the other genera of the subtribe, because the medial portion of the pseudepiphallus is prolonged as an aedeagus, the lateral lobe is cylindrical and elongated (Figs. 6 B – D), which is absent in the other taxa. Although the lateral lobe of Paragryllus s. l., is medium or small-sized, the pseudepiphallic arms have a similar appearance as Paragryllus (Melloius) temulentus; they are parallel throughout their length and do not intertwine from the mesal portion to the apex, as in Paragryllus s. s. and Paragryllus (Souzaius) minutus.	en	Cadena-Castañeda, Oscar J., Páez, Geraldine, Buitrago, Oscar, Quintana-Arias, Ronald Fernando, Tavares, Gustavo Costa (2021): Studies of Neotropical crickets: New Paragryllina taxa (Orthoptera: Phalangopsidae) with comments on several previously described species.

024DE714D243AE5107C68CD0FAE6FBBB.taxon	discussion	Comments. Unfortunately, this species is briefly described in its original description, but the description of Alfarogryllus n. gen., which includes this unique species, will allow better identification of this taxon. On the other hand, there are some inconsistencies in the designation of type specimens provided by Otte (2006). He designated the female as the holotype but in the brief description or recognition (according to the author), he focused on the male, and there are no specific characters for the female. Also, in the legend of figure 58, the male is mentioned as the holotype and the female as a paratype. In the measurements, priority is also given to the male. In the ‘ specimens’ section, he mentioned a holotype and a paratype, both female. With the previous notation, the author intended to designate the male as a holotype and the female as a paratype, as is usual in most Orthoptera taxa since, in general, this sex is the one that contributes with more characters for species identification. The author was clearly confused when designating the type specimens, and the male with code 122 should be considered the holotype and the female with code 123 as a paratype. Although the female had been erroneously established as the holotype of Alfarogryllus panoplos n. gen. et comb., the main characteristics we used to diagnose this new genus are based on the male specimen. Robillard & Desutter-Grandcolas (2013), in their list of Eneopterinae from Costa Rica, doubted that Eneoptera panoplos Otte, 2006 belonged to the genus Eneoptera Burmeister, 1838, suggesting that it could be included in the genus Lerneca Walker, 1869. The same authors designated Eneoptera spodios Otte, 2006 as a species inquirenda since it did not fit either the diagnostic characters of Eneoptera, but when reviewing the type specimen of E. spodios, it fits the diagnostic characters of Lerneca. So, here we consider the type specimen as a conspecific female of Lerneca digrediens (Otte, 2006), originally described in Amphiacusta Saussure, 1874, but reclassified by Desutter- Grandcolas (2014). Therefore, we designate Eneoptera spodios Otte, 2006 n. syn., as a new synonym under Lerneca digrediens (Otte, 2006). With the previously mentioned taxonomic changes, the status of the Central American Eneoptera species is clarified, and the species studied by Robillard & Desutter-Grandcolas (2005) for the Neotropical region are preserved, although the status of Eneoptera fasciata (Scudder, 1869), had not yet become clear.	en	Cadena-Castañeda, Oscar J., Páez, Geraldine, Buitrago, Oscar, Quintana-Arias, Ronald Fernando, Tavares, Gustavo Costa (2021): Studies of Neotropical crickets: New Paragryllina taxa (Orthoptera: Phalangopsidae) with comments on several previously described species.
