Studies on chevron crickets: Morphological redescription of Chilean red cricket Cratomelus armatus Blanchard, 1851 (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae)

摘要

An updated diagnosis for Cratomelus is provided, accompanied by a key to the identification of species. Cratomelus armatus is redescribed, including the genital structures, which were unknown until now, being a significant contribution to the morphological differentiation of this taxon of "chevron" crickets, giving additional data that will allow the future to differentiate them from the other anostostomatids of the world.
