Korean Ortho. 123.</p><p>Type species: Scapsipedus micado Saussure, 1877</p><p>Diagnosis: This genus was described for the crickets with swollen frons and long, narrowed mandibles, previously placed in Scapsipedus Saussure. The name is derived from the habit of constructing an awning or hood over the entrance to their burrows as reported by Alexander (1961) in the type species. Head dorso-ventrally elongate in most species due to lengthened mouth parts. Forewings are with two harp veins. Tympanum is on outer face only. Pronotum is usually wider at anterior end than at posterior ending. All species of Velarifictorus are clearly characterized by similar male genitalia: the epiphallus is rather short, with a pair of hind lateral processes and unpaired median projection between them; the ectoparameres are simple, elongate and more or less curved, with the small mesal lobe connected with the ectoparamere by one rather narrow sclerotized ribbon. The endoparameres are not very long and with a large proximal apodeme; the spermatophore sac is more or less small and with almost straight proximal half of virga.</p><p>Composition: Velarifictorus belongs to the tribe Gryllini Laicharting, 1781 and subtribe Gryllina Laicharting, 1781 . The genus comprises 108 species worldwide and they are classified within three subgenera, Buangina, Pseudocoiblemmus, and Velarifictorus (Cigliano et al., 2022) .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C46A0D36D265F47EFF4CFEEDFCA0FBD2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Maxillary palpi, I and II segments yellowish in colour, remaining segments are externally whitish and internally dark in colour, length of III and IV maxillary palpi is almost equal, while the V one is little longer than the previous segments. Fore tibiae with externally oval shaped and internally small spot like tympanum, but in some specimens, internal tympanum is less visible. Mirror longer than wide, but in some specimens length and width almost equal. Apical field of tegmina well developed with 2 to 4 longitudinal veins and with clear reticulations. Dorsal side of the abdomen and cerci are dark brown, while abdomen is yellowish in colour on the ventral side.</p><p>Genitalia: Supra-anal plate (SAP) cap-shaped, semi-membranous with small to large hair, anterior half wider than long and also having a small brown depression, apex of supra-anal plate is rounded. Subgenital plate is little wider than long, anterior half membranous and posterior half semi-membranous. When the subgenital plate is dorsally pressed it appears W-shaped, but apico-laterally rounded on both sides. Epiphallus is bridge-shaped and longer than wide, anterior margins of epiphallus sinuate and posterior half of epiphallus is trilobate dorsally, the lateral lobes narrow, apex blunt, but with small to long hair; middle lobe of epiphallus shorter and wider than lateral lobes and distinctly round, slightly or little deeply notched in the middle. Epiphallic apodemes are narrow present at the antero-lateral aspect of epiphallus, closely attached to epiphallus and is sinuate. Ramus is paired elongate, rod-shaped, forming the antero-lateral projection of epiphallus. Ventrally, ectoparameres are longer than lateral lobes and middle lobe of epiphallus and closely attached to lower side of epiphallus by membranes, ectoparameres are anteriorly divided, narrow in inner side and wide in outer side; anteriorly ectoparameres are slender-shaped, but in middle wider, more bulbous and posteriorly narrow, presenting small teeth-shaped, pointed apex, curved upward and facing towards middle lobe of epiphallus. Principal ectoparameral apodemes are elongate, apically joined together to each other, appearing compressed dorsally, inverted W-shaped and laterally J-shaped. Apices of virga extend to 1/4 th of anterior ectoparameres with acute apex. Spermatophore, as given in Figure (9).</p><p>Female: Unknown</p><p>Measurements (mm) Male: Body length 12.0-13.50; head length 3.5, width 4.0; pronotum length 2.10-3.75, width 3.50-4.25; tegmina 7.0-7.50; hind femur 8.0-10.0 and hind tibia 5.50-6.25.</p><p>Remarks: Velarifictorus raychaudhurii was initially described as Scapsipedus raychaudhurii by H. K. Bhowmik in the year 1967 from India. According to OSF ( Orthoptera Spices File) and while browsing online, this species has been included in the genus, Scapsipedus Saussure, 1877; however, in our view and as per earlier published papers of Vasanth (1993) and Ingrisch &amp; Garai (2001) this species belongs to the genus, Velarifictorus (Velarifictorus) Randell, 1964 . Both the genera differ slightly morphologically, but their male genitalia are significantly different.</p><p>In the genus Scapsipedus Saussure, 1877, the following is important: male genitalia; epiphallus is triangular in shape or elongate, wider and almost V-shaped and the epiphallus is dorsoventrally flattened and if we view ventrally and laterally, posterior middle lobe of the epiphallus is longer than the lateral lobes. While, in the genus, Velarifictorus (Velarifictorus) Randell, 1964, as follows, the male genitalia epiphallus is bridge-shaped and wider than long, posterior half of epiphallus is dorsally trilobate, middle lobe of epiphallus shorter and wider than lateral lobes and distinctly round, slightly or little deeply emarginated in middle of apex. Ventrally, ectoparameres are longer than lateral lobes.</p><p>Distribution: Asia-tropical, Indian subcontinent, India (West Himalaya, Uttarakhand and Meghalaya).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C46A0D36D265F47BFF4CFB2DFAF2FA69	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Ventral side of abdomen including subgenital plate, cerci and legs are yellowish brown, but abdomen dark brown dorsally.Anterior tibiae with external tympanum long, oval-shaped and internal tympanum small, spot-like. Hind femur longer than hind tibiae, hind tibiae armed with small to medium sized 5 dorsal subapical spurs on each side, the first tarsal segments of hind legs with 6-8 denticles on each face dorsally.</p><p>Genitalia: Supra-anal and subgenital plates as in Figure (7 &amp; 8). Apices of subgenital plate deeply emarginated in the middle. Epiphallus of genitalia less sclerotized, dorsally bridge shaped, anteriorly epiphallus with rounded, wide “U” shaped margin and posteriorly also with margin, but inverted “U” shaped; lateral lobes of epiphallus wide, short, apex slightly curved inward and pointed with hairs. Epiphallic apodeme narrow, less sclerotized, straight, paired apodeme present anterio-laterallly, closely attached to epiphallus with apex almost reaching middle of principal ectoparameral apodemes. The ramus is longer than principal ectoparameral apodemes, rod-shaped, with paired ribbon-like antero-lateral of epiphallus, which is often separated from epiphallus by small membranous area and with pointed apices. Ventrally, apex of ectoparameres are slightly longer than lateral lobes of epiphallus and closely attached to lower side of epiphallus by membranous and ribbon-like structure. Ectoparameres are anteriorly divided into a very narrow inner side; at the anterior, ectoparameres are wide, but more bulbous in the middle and posteriorly with a very acute apex with small cut on inner side. Ectoparamere compact with a characteristically sclerotized ribbon, this one secondarily joined with the middle or ventral lobe of with the main body of the ectoparamere. Middle lobes of ectoparamere are elongate, more sclerotized and apices curved, lateral side with rounded apex, and middle lobes, in base with membranous spot-like structures. Principal ectoparameral apodemes are elongate, apically joined together by membranes. Acute part of apex of virga extends to almost the middle lobes of ectoparameres.</p><p>Measurements (mm) Male: Body length 11-12; head length 2.5-2.75, width with eyes 3-3.75; pronotum length 2, width 3-3.5; tegmina 7-7.80; hind femur 6-6.5; hind tibia 4-4.5.</p><p>Female: Female of this species almost similar to male in all morphological characteristics and in colour patterns of body parts, but slightly differs in body length. Subgenital plate without emargination at apex, ovipositor is shorter than the length of hind femur, but more or less equal to length of hind tibiae. Apex of ovipositor is oblate on both sides and pointed.</p><p>Measurements (mm) Female: Body length 10.5-12.5; head length 2.5-3.5, width with eyes 2.75-3.5; pronotum length 2, width 3.0-3.75; tegmina 6.5-7.5; hind femur 6.5-7.0; hind tibia 4.25-5; ovipositor 3.30- 4.</p><p>Distribution: Africa, Northeast Tropical Africa, Sudan, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Air, Iran (Chopard 1961), Asia-Tropical, Indian Subcontinent, India (Karnataka and Rajasthan).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C46A0D36D26CF474FF4CFD68FC16FB49	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
