Description
Anaxipha Saussure, 1874: 370.
TYPE SPECIES. — Gryllus pulicarius Burmeister, 1838 by subsequent designation (Rehn, 1905).
ILLUSTRATIONS. — Habitus: Fig. 3A; Otte & Alexander 1983: fig. 161. Male genitalia: Otte et al. 1987: fig. 19. Calling songs: Otte & Alexander 1983: fig. 163.
EMENDED DIAGNOSIS FOR NEW CALEDONIAN SPECIES. — After Otte & Alexander (1983) and material preserved in MNHN. Head dorsum not fully flat between eyes. TI with an outer tympanum; inner tympanum lacking. FWs not hairy. HWs not developed. TIII with three pairs of long and thin alternate subapical spurs; only five relatively short apical spurs, ventral inner spur lacking.
Male. No dorsal gland on abdomen. FWs flat in lateral view. Stridulatory apparatus complete; mirror well-developed, most often diamond shaped. Apical field reduced. Metanotal glands present or lacking. Male genitalia: pseudepiphallus well-developed, symmetrical or almost so, and not hyperthelic; distal pseudepiphallus with two lateral long and thin lobes, and two shorter median ones; on each side, median and lateral lobes separated (Anaxipha undescribed species) or not (Anaxipha caledonica Otte, 1987) by an additional thin process; distal margins of lobes plain (Anaxipha caledonica, Otte et al. 1987: fig. 19B) or serrated (Anaxipha undescribed species), resembling some species of Vanuaxipha Otte & Cooper, 2007; pseudepiphallic parameres symmetrical, flat.
Female. FW length and colour as in males. Ovipositor: distal margins of dorsal and ventral valves highly crenulated (see Otte et al. 1987: fig. 19C).
DISTRIBUTION. — World-wide. Known in New Caledonia by only one species from Grande Terre, on the western coast near Koumac (A. caledonica). Additional material attests the presence of Anaxipha at Parc provincial de la Rivière Bleue in the South of Grande Terre and at the base of Mont Mou (MNHN).
