New records of Orthoptera from Zambia (Tettigoniidae; Pamphagidae)
View through CrossRef
The African Natural History Research Trust in Zambia collected specimens representing many new findings for research. The new tribe Oxyecoini is described for the genus Oxyecous, and the following synonymies are established: Clonia whalbergi maculosa (Walker, 1869) = Clonia whalbergi Stål, 1855 (Tettigoniidae, Saginae), Cultrinotus luanensis Uvarov, 1953 = Cultrinotus poultoni Bólivar, 1915 (Pamphagidae, Porthetinae). Further, the following species are recorded for the first time from Zambia: Pardalota haasi Griffini, 1908, Melidia brunneri Stål, 1876, Phaneroptera nigropunctata Chopard, 1955, Dannfeltia nana Sjöstedt, 1902 (Tettigoniidae, Phaneropterinae), and Enyaliopsis petersii (Schaum, 1853) (Tettigoniidae, Hetrodinae). Some taxonomic considerations are also made about the specialization of the inner side of the hind femur in the genus Cultrinotus.
