0643AB80C28B545BAE39126B6EA11455.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. - Differs from all other known species of Ellipes, except E. eisneri in its flightless condition, pale white and brown coloration, lack of swimming plates, and occurrence in xeric habitat. Easily distinguished from E. eisneri by its larger size, distinctive coloration, and disjunct range.	en	Woo, Brandon (2021): A new species of pygmy mole cricket (Orthoptera: Tridactylidae) from the Lake Wales ridge of Florida and new records of Ellipes eisneri from the northern Brooksville ridge.

0643AB80C28B545BAE39126B6EA11455.taxon	etymology	Etymology. - This species is named in honor of Dr. Mark Deyrup, Emeritus Research Biologist in Entomology at the Archbold Biological Station, who first collected the species and recognized it as distinct, and who has contributed the bulk of what is known about scrub tridactylid biology. Dr. Deyrup encouraged the author to describe this new species and look for other species across the southeastern U. S. and has been enormously supportive and generous with his knowledge of Florida natural history.	en	Woo, Brandon (2021): A new species of pygmy mole cricket (Orthoptera: Tridactylidae) from the Lake Wales ridge of Florida and new records of Ellipes eisneri from the northern Brooksville ridge.
