The first report of Rumea Desutter, 1988 (Orthoptera: Phalangopsidae: Paragryllini) from Brazil, with the description of three new Amazonian species

摘要

We describe three new cricket species of Rumea Desutter collected at lowland rainforests in Central Amazonia, Brazil: R. zebra sp. nov., R. manauensis sp. nov. and R. tigris sp. nov. We provide detailed descriptions of each species, including measurements, drawings and photographs of external morphological features, together with anew protocol for photographing genitalia of crickets. We compare the male genitalia of the examined Rumea species with the ones of other Paragryllini, briefly discussing the gross morphology of this structure in the tribe. We also provide a brief discussion on the geographic distribution of the Rumea species.
