Type species
Gryllofulvius gibbosus Taszakowski gen. et sp. nov., here designated.
Diagnosis
Distinguished by small eyes, in female 0.14 × as width, and 0.3 × as long as head width, body glabrous and shiny, brachypterous; pronotal collar distinct, posterior angles of pronotum almost right; pretarsal claw with subapical tooth; hemelytra basally fused with each other and with the scutellum and mesoscutum and vertical hypocostal lamina developed as elongated stridulitrum.
Etymology
The genus name is created from a combination of ‘ Gryllus ’, in reference to the cricket, and ‘ Fulvius ’, the type genus of the tribe Fulviini Uhler, 1886 , in which the new genus is placed. Gender: masculine.
Description
BODY. In the shape of an elongated pear, length 3.1 mm; brachypterous ( Fig. 1 View Fig ).
TEXTURE AND VESTITURE. Body almost hairless; head, pronotum, thoracic pleura, mesoscutum, scutellum and basal part of hemelytron with isolated, scattered setae ( Fig. 2A–F View Fig ); femora with few setae, tibiae and tarsi with relatively dense setae ( Fig. 2J View Fig ). Body glabrous and shiny ( Fig. 1A–B View Fig ) except wrinkled pronotal collar ( Fig. 2C View Fig ), mesoscutum, base, middle and apical part of scutellum and base of hemelytra ( Fig. 2D View Fig ). Relatively vertical hypocostal lamina with developed elongated stridulitrum ( Fig. 2F, H View Fig ). Central part of inner metafemoral surface with numerous minute bumps forming plectrum ( Fig. 2G, I View Fig ).
STRUCTURE. Head. Eyes small, removed from pronotal collar ( Figs 1 View Fig , 2A View Fig ); vertex strongly convex; scape nearly cylindrical; labium reaching hind coxae; segment I subdivided in distal part.
THORAX. Pronotum almost square, pronotal collar distinct, anterior angles rounded, anterior lobe strongly convex, large, occupying almost whole pronotum ( Figs 1B–C View Fig , 2A–B View Fig ); anterior margin strongly rounded, posterior margin straight, sides rounded in posterior part. Mesoscutum and scutellum: Mesoscutum flat; scutellum slightly concave ( Figs 1B–C View Fig , 2A View Fig ). Thoracic pleura: Scent gland evaporative area of metepisternum narrow.Hemelytron: brachypterous, narrow on basal half, flaring wider apically; strongly depressed across basal part, strongly convex in remaining part. Hemelytra basally fused with each other and with scutellum and mesoscutum; claval suture shortened, thickened and raised; clavus and corium partially fussing, cuneal fracture absent, apex rounded, apical margin cutting inward forming V with both hemelytra together; apical three abdominal segments exposed beyond hemelytra.
LEGS. Tarsus three-segmented ( Fig. 2J View Fig ); pretarsal claw with subapical tooth.
ABDOMEN. Female genitalia: genital chamber membranous ( Fig. 3A–B View Fig ); sclerotized rings paired, relatively large, subellipsoid; ovipositor thin; gonapophyses 8 connected by distinct membranous structure along entire length ( Fig. 3B, E View Fig ); apices of gonapophyses 8 and 9 obtuse, without any teeth apically ( Fig. 3F–G View Fig ).
