081D08598DAF781D1B6DF4E7BAD1C7FF.taxon	description	Revised diagnosis of genus, compared to Dirsh's (1965) generic description. - The generic description presented in this work differs somewhat from the description of Dirsh (1965). Dirsh decribes the integument as being strongly tuberculate, and his diagnosis emphasizes the presence of a fastigial furrow and a short epiphallus. Unlike Dirsh (1965), we find that only G. opilionoides has a strongly tuberculate integument and G. terrea has a less tuberculate and granulated integument; G. opilionoides lacks a fastigial furrow - this character is specific to G. terrea; the epiphallic lophi of both species are lobiform but G. opilionoides have wide lophi while those of G. terrea are narrow or short like those described by Dirsh (1965).	en	Ngoute, Charly Oumarou, Kekeunou, Sevilor (2017): Redescription and diagnosis of the African genus Gemeneta Karsch, 1892 (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Catantopinae).

Epiproct triangular with deep transverse furrow and rounded apex; valves of ovipositor long, straight, with slightly curved apices; cercus in both sexes straight, conical, usually shorter than the paraproct in female and slightly exceeding paraproct in the male; male subgenital plate conical. Endophallus slender; ventral aedeagal valves slender and strongly elongated; valves of cingulum slender and elongated, ventral aedeagal valves and valves of cingulum enclosed in a wide ectophallic sheath; anterior apodemes of aedeagus divergent with rounded apices; gonopore process pointed; zygoma wide, apodemes of cingulum parallel with acute apices. Epiphallus with wide bridge, strongly concave in the anterior margin, ancorae curved; lophi curved forward, narrow and lobiform. Spermatheca with a long tubular duct and vermiform preapical appendix, without distinct terminal ampullae; egg-guide of subgenital plate dorsally conical, laterally with pointed apex, columella present and wide, floor pouches and posterior edge rounded, median longitudinal groove absent.	en	Ngoute, Charly Oumarou, Kekeunou, Sevilor (2017): Redescription and diagnosis of the African genus Gemeneta Karsch, 1892 (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Catantopinae).

15E3A9A48E6D11BA0554D66317AB70B8.taxon	description	Description. - Body slightly elongated, 5 to 6 times the length of the pronotum; integument granulated and strongly tuberculate in pronotum. Head strongly conical, the maximum width of head across the eyes almost as long as the pronotum; fastigium about 1 / 2 the length of the pronotum and nearly 2 times longer than the fastigium of G. terrea (Table 1: FL); width of fastigium about 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 the length of pronotum; fastigium projected forward, flat, horizontal, narrowing toward apex and fusing with the frontal ridge to form a rostrum; frons strongly concave below rostrum; frontal ridge weak, and obsolete below the medial ocellus; eyes globular, slightly longer than wide; antenna fine, filiform, but slightly expanded at the base; antenna longer than the head and pronotum together. Pronotum cylindrical, tuberculate, lateral and median carinae absent; disc of pronotum crossed by three sulci, (2 to 4) (sulcus 1 obsolete on the disc and visible only on the lobes); sulci 3 and 4 deep and extend almost to the ventral margin of the lobes; anterior and posterior margins of pronotum straight but emarginated in the midline; prosternal spine vertical, conical, with acute apex; mesosternal interspace almost as long as wide; mesosternal lobes rounded; tympanum oval, slightly longer than wide. Hind femur 5 to 6 times longer than wide, 3 to 4 times longer than the foot and 1.5 times longer than the hind femur of G. terrea (Table 1: F); upper internal and external genicular lobes rounded, lower internal and external lobes pointed with a rounded apex; posterior tibia almost as long as the femur; the third segment of foot longer than the first, and the first longer than the second (Table 1: Ta 1, Ta 2, Ta 3). Epiproct triangular with deep transverse furrow and rounded apex; valves of ovipositor long, straight, with slightly curved apices; cercus conical, almost as long as the paraproct in female and exceeding paraproct in the male; male subgenital plate conical. The male phallic complex of the G. opilionoides is in general very similar to that of G. terrea, and the differences are very small, especially the tips of the ventral aedeagal valves in endophallus are dorsally flattened and curved outwards; the lophi of epiphallus lobiform but much wider than those of G. terrea.	en	Ngoute, Charly Oumarou, Kekeunou, Sevilor (2017): Redescription and diagnosis of the African genus Gemeneta Karsch, 1892 (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Catantopinae).
