A new unusual Anabropsis species from Mexico, with notes on the identity of A. rehni Griffini from Africa (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae)

摘要

Anabropsis homerogomezi n. sp. from the state of Michoacan, Mexico, is described in memory of Homero Gomez, the defender of the monarch butterfly who disappeared in Mexico and whose work "affected the interests" of illegal loggers. Pteranabropsis rehni (Griffini, 1909) n. comb. the only Anabropsis species reported for Africa, is proposed as a new combination, restricting the distribution of Anabropsis to the New World. Finally, the taxonomic debates and organization of the subfamily Anabropsinae and the peculiarities of the new species are discussed in contrast to the other Anabropsis species.
