[Entomology • 2023] Acosmetura compressa • A New Species of the Genus Acosmetura (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Meconematinae) from Hunan, China  | Acosmetura compressa
Chen, Xu & Shi, 2023

Abstract This paper reports one new species of the genus Acosmetura Liu, 2000, i.e., Acosmetura compressa sp. nov. from Hunan, China. In addition, morphological photographs of the new species and a distribution map of the known species of the genus are provided. The type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Hebei University.

[Diplopoda • 2025] Acanthophorella didi, A. spinicoxa, ... • Four New cavernicolous Species of the Genus Acanthophorella Antić & Makarov, 2016 (Diplopoda: Chordeumatida: Anthroleucosomatidae) from Georgia, Caucasus  | Acanthophorella didi, A. gaumarjos, A. eto, A. spinicoxa

Abstract Four new, presumably troglobiotic species of the chordeumatidan genus Acanthophorella Antić & Makarov, 2016 are described from several Georgian caves. Acanthophorella didi sp. nov. and A. gaumarjos sp. nov. were discovered in three and one cave in the Racha karst massif, respectively, while A. eto sp. nov. and A. spinicoxa sp. nov. are known each from two caves in the Sataplia-Tskaltubo karst massif and Zemo Imereti plateau, respectively. All four species are properly diagnosed, described, and richly illustrated. Vulvae are described for the first time in Acanthophorella barjadzei Antić & Makarov, 2016, and new records are added for A. valerii Antić in Antić et al., 2023. Notes on the ecology and localities are given for new species. The distribution map and a key to all 10 species of the genus are presented. Distribution and troglomorphism within the genus are briefly discussed.

[Entomology • 2025] Tapiena dimidia & T. munae • New Species, New Locality Records and Descriptions of Calling Songs of Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) from Sabah  | Tapiena munae
Tan, Damit, Japir, Chung & Robillard, 2025
|
Abstract Based on recent sampling of orthopterans in Maliau Basin and Meligan (including near Long Pasia and Sinipung Hill), Sabah, Borneo, we present here notes on some of the katydids from the subfamily Phaneropterinae. Two new species were discovered and are described: Tapiena dimidia sp. nov. from Maliau Basin and Tapiena munae sp. nov. from Sinipung Hill near Long Pasia and Meligan. New locality records for Elbenia (Elbenia) paradigitata Gorochov, 2023, Stictophaula multa Gorochov & Voltshenkova, 2009, Holochlora falcata Tan, Liu & Ingrisch, 2024 and possibly Psyrana (Psyrana) nr. imitativa Gorochov, 2024. Calling songs of four species of Phaneropterinae are described for the first time: Elbenia (Elbenia) paradigitata Gorochov, 2023, Elbenia (Elbenia) ?tenera Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878, Rectimarginalis ensis (Haan, 1843) and Tapiena ?incisa Karny, 1923.
