Genus Enthephippion Bruner, 1915 View in CoL
= Phaneropterella Piza, 1977 , syn. nov.
Note. This genus was described from a single species ( E. obscuripenne Bruner, 1915 ). The photograph of its holotype, published in OSF, shows that it is a female very similar to the types of Amaura olivacea Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1891 , A. borelli Giglio-Tos, 1897 , Ligocatinus sordidus Rehn, 1921 , L. minutus Rehn, 1921 , Phaneroptera quadrivittata Piza, 1967 and Phaneropterella infumata Piza, 1977 . Majority of these species names have been attributed to the former genus Homotoicha (? Scudderiini ) and synonymized with each other, but two of them were considered as separate species of Homotoicha ( L. sordidus and L. minutus ), and E. obscuripenne as well as Ph. infumata were left in the genera Enthephippion and Phaneropterella outside any tribe (OSF). In reality, all these names most probably belong to representatives of the same genus, and Phaneropterella is a new synonym of Enthephippion .
The genus Enthephippion is characterized by the following features: body is moderately small and with mainly reddish brown colouration; head is with rostral tubercles almost as in Ligocatinus (see above); lateral pronotal lobes are approximately as high as long or slightly shorter, with humeral notches moderately deep as well as widely and roundly angular ( Figs 231, 239 View Figs 223–240 ); wings are long, with tegmina narrow and somewhat shorter than hind wings; male stridulatory apparatus is with indistinct mirror in left tegmen and with poorly distinct (having numerous irregular veinlets) mirror in right tegmen ( Figs 232, 233 View Figs 223–240 ); male last tergite is rather simple, with posterior lobe short, wide and posteriorly truncate; epiproct, paraprocts and cerci of male are also rather simple; male genital plate is short, narrowing to moderately narrow apex which has very small styles and shallow notch between them ( Figs 234–236 View Figs 223–240 ); female genital plate is small and triangular ( Fig. 238 View Figs 223–240 ); male genitalia are completely membranous; ovipositor is short or very short, with numerous and rather large denticles located as on dorsal and ventral edges as on lateral surfaces ( Figs 237, 240 View Figs 223–240 ). This ovipositor is more or less similar to that of Plagiopleura Stål, 1878 , attributed recently to the tribe Plagiopleurini Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1878 ( Cadena-Castañeda 2015c), but very dissimilar to ovipositor of the genera included here in? Scudderiini ; thus, tribal position of this genus is in need of examination.
Enthephippion includes the following species: 1) E. borelli sp. resurr. et comb. nov. from Bolivia with one synonym ( L. sordidus syn. nov. from Mato Grosso do Sul State of Brazil located near Bolivia) [this species has lateral pronotal lobes rather short and with almost round posteroventral parts ( Fig. 231 View Figs 223–240 ), and its ovipositor is somewhat elongate and narrowly angular in distal part ( Fig. 237 View Figs 223–240 )]; 2) E. olivaceum comb. nov. from Rio Grande do Sul State of Brazil with one probable synonym ( Ph. quadrivittata from Minas Gerais State of Brazil [lateral pronotal lobes of this species somewhat longer and have more oblique posteroventral edges (approximately as in Fig. 239 View Figs 223–240 ), and its ovipositor is clearly shorter and with more obtuse apex ( Fig. 240 View Figs 223–240 )]; 3) E. obscuripenne from Mato Grosso State of Brazil [lateral pronotal lobes are almost as in E. olivaceum , but ovipositor is distinctly longer than in the both previous congeners]. The two species known only from males ( E. minutum comb. nov. and E. infumatum comb. nov. from Goiás State of Brazil) have their pronotum similar to that of E. olivaceum in shape ( Fig. 239 View Figs 223–240 ) and may be separate species as well as synonyms of E. olivaceum or E. obscuripenne .
