According to A. V. Gorochov (1997, 2001, 2007 and 2009), the external morphological differences are not significant; however, the main differences are in the male genitalic structure, especially in shape of epiphallus and ectoparameres. Presently, the genus Itara is divided into ten subgenera, namely Bornitara Gorochov, 1997, Gryllitara Chopard, 1931, Inditara Gorochov, 2009, Itara Walker, 1869, Maxitara Gorochov, 2001, Micritara Gorochov, 1997, Noctitara Gorochov, 1997, Phormincter Saussure, 1878, Singitara Gorochov, 1997, Tinnitara Gorochov, 2007 and 59 species worldwide. Of these, 4 subgenera and 15 species have been reported from Asia-tropical, including the Indian subcontinent and the Indo-China region (Cigliano et al., 2021).</p> <p>Distribution. Asia-tropical, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Thailand, China.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/FE3E87E7713AFF98FF62DC2C1FA2F893	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The Itarinae crickets are related to the Podoscirtinae, but differ from other members of Gryllidae and, Podoscirtinae in particular, in having the following characters: crickets with a body of mediumsize; head almost spherical, rather small, narrower than posterior width of pronotum, anterior margin of pronotum distinctly narrowed, the lateral lobes never angulate at the anterior corner; metanotal gland well developed. Tegmina and hind wings usually long, longer than body, but sometimes tegmina slightly and hind wings strongly shortened, male tegmina very broad with numerous oblique veins and the first oblique vein being either strongly S-shaped or otherwise. Fore tibiae with outer smaller and open tympanum, while the inner one being larger and slightly invaginated or slit-like. Hind tibiae with small denticles in proximal half; armed with large spines and subapical spurs in distal half. According to Shishodia et al. (2010) and Cigliano et al. (2021), presently 3 subgenera (Inditara, Itara and Phormincter) and 5 species have been reported from the Indian subcontinent, which belong to the genus, Itara Walker, 1869.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/FE3E87E7713AFF98FF62D8B81B53FBE0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

R. Nagar.</p> <p>Description (Male). Small body size as compared to other species of the genus and brown in colour; head small, upper half of head brown with dark brown part between ocelli, genae light brown; lower half of head, palpi and antennae brown, but area of clypeal region and frons light brown, as compared to palpi and antennae; clypeal suture straight, frontal rostrum slightly broader than the antennal scape, lateral ocelli almost rounded, but the middle ocellus differently shaped and expanded laterally. Maxillary palpi pubescent, third segment slightly longer than the fourth, but fifth one longer than the previous segments and dilated at apex. Length and width of head and pronotum are equal. Pronotum dorsally brown, while laterally is of light brown colour, pubescent; the anterior and posterior margins of pronotum with small to long brown setae, the anterior margin being slightly concave, but posterior margin almost straight, posterior margin (4.25 mm) of pronotum significantly wider than anterior margin (3.0 mm) and the middle (3.5 mm). Tegmina significantly longer than abdomen, but shorter than hind wings, brown, transparent, and wide (6.0 mm); with 3–4 oblique veins, 1 st and 2 nd long, sinuate or slightly S-shaped, 2 nd vein originate from 1 st oblique vein after origin; 3 rd and 4 th are very short and curved. Mirror broader (4.5 mm) than long (3.5 mm), divided almost in the middle by an undulated vein, its lateral corners broadly rounded; chord veins long, feebly curved and first chord vein connected to mirror by a veinlet. False veins distributed in harp area and mirror. Stridulatory file of right tegmina has 46 teeth/mm. Tegmina possess a large apical field with 7 branched veins and well developed, square to rectangular shaped reticulation; length of apical field (5.0 mm) is shorter than its width (6.0 mm) and length of the stridulatory vein to the posterior end of the mirror (7.0 mm), but is longer than the length (3.5 mm) and width (4.5 mm) of the mirror. Lateral field presents 4 to 5 regularly spaced free veins and four branches of the mediastinal vein. Femora are light brown, while tibiae are brown in colour; legs are pubescent, fore tibiae are perforated on both sides; the tympanum on the external side is rather large, oval shaped; while on the inner side it is long, narrow and slit-like. Usually hind femur is longer than the hind tibiae; dorsally, base of hind tibiae with denticulation and armed with four pairs of subapical spurs, but without denticles in between subapical spurs. Dorsally, metatarsus is armed with two rows of small spines, 5 spines along the inner side and 8 spines along the outer side. Abdomen is dorsally brown and ventrally, with subgenital plate light brown in colour, while the cerci is brown.</p> <p>Male genitalia. Supra anal and subgenital plates in Plate I as Figures (6, a &amp; b). Genitalia well developed, sclerotized with different parts; dorsally large epiphallus with three distal processes, unpaired medial processes very long, 2/3 part of anterior epiphallus differentially shaped and remaining posterior part is V-shaped with curved pointed apical apices and paired lateral short processes with feebly pointed apices. Anterior margin of epiphallus with broad V-shaped sulcus in the middle and with a cluster of long setae on both sides (more or less laterally). Upper surface of epiphallus is with numerous setae. Lower side or ventrally, epiphallus presents a U-shaped sulcus, which can be observed almost in middle of epiphallus; besides, numerous setae can be noted and after 2/3 part, some outgrowth of epiphallus becomes visible and with slit-like processes in middle. As per our observation, in anterior epiphallus, the epiphallic apodemes are probably replaced by cluster of long setae and semi-transparent membrane, which is present in between ramus; lateral apices of the membrane almost reach up to the middle of ramus. Ramus, paired ribbon-like or rod-like, anterolateral projection of epiphallus often separated from it by small membranous area and feebly wide with blunt apices. Ventrally, genitalia possess a pair of ectoparameres and endoparameral apodeme, ectoparameres are covered by epiphallus, extending to 2/3 part of epiphallus, anterior part dilated and posterior part feebly narrowing; but after middle, slightly wide denticle-like processes can be seen with curved apical parts of ectoparameres. Endoparameral apodeme is long, H-shaped and separated by small membranous area. Virga is well developed, almost reaching anterior margin of epiphallus.</p> <p>Female: Unknown</p> <p>Measurements (mm) Male: Body length 14.0; head length 2.0, width 3.5; pronotum length 2.0, width 3.5; tegmina 15.5, width 6.0; hind femur 9.5, hind tibia 7.0.</p> <p>Comparison. The new species differs from the already reported species of the subgenus Gryllitara in the following characters: body size, colour and some variations in tegmina that can be easily noted; especially, the number of oblique veins, mirror and apical field. The new species significantly differs in male genitalia characters, as already mentioned in male genitalia descriptions.</p> <p>Etymology. the name of the new species is derived from the Latin word pilosa, referring to the upper and lower surface of the epiphallus with hairs.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/FE3E87E77139FF9AFF62DBC11806FD08	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Male tegmen with 4–5 oblique veins; apical field having 5–7 branched veins, width of tegmina and length of apical field more or less equal. According to Gorochov (1997), there is a greater variability in colour (from dark to light); such types of variations were also observed in our specimens.
