Adapantus (Neoadapantus) Heller 2019, n. subgenus

Description

Neoadapantus n. subgenus

http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Orthoptera.speciesfile.org:TaxonName:xxxxxx

Type species: Adapantus affluens Naskrecki, 2008a Diagnosis. Differs from the nominal subgenus by the presence of a weak stridulatory vein and by missing a mirrorlike structure in the left tegmen (compare Fig. 7 C, D, and E, F). According to the figures of Adenes obesus in OSFO, in the sister genus Adenes both characters are similar to A. (Adapantus). The related genus Mormotus Karsch, 1890, however, has no left mirror and a weak stridulatory vein (see figures in Naskrecki 2008a), thus being similar to Neoadapantus.

Included species: affluens Naskrecki, 2008a, angulatus Naskrecki, 2008a, pragerorum Naskrecki, 2008a, marmoratus Chopard, 1954, nitens (Chopard 1954) (the last two as far as it can be judged by the photos in OSFO). Unassignable to subgenera: A. castaneus Beier, 1954 (no information about character state in male available).
