Phalangopsidae crickets from Tropical Africa (Orthoptera, Grylloidea), with descriptions of new taxa and an identification key for African genera Author Desutter-Grandcolas, Laure text Zootaxa 2015 3948 3 451 496 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.3948.3.5 48fd46c1-a333-45ef-85fd-bb89451998da 1175-5326 241857 809AC895-779E-419D-8EBE-071F0ACCD72E Afrophaloria sp. ( Fig. 4 B–I, Table 2 ) I separate here female specimens originating from the Central African Republic , Gabon and the Congo , which all present a very long ovipositor, longer than TIII and than FIII (except in the female from Odzala, see measurements below), a subgenital plate ( Fig. 4 A–E) and a copulatory papilla more deeply emarginate than in the other species of Afrophaloria Desutter-Grandcolas , n. gen. here described ( Fig. 4 F–I). They are globally lightly coloured (head, pronotum, legs); their tergites are brown, more or less marked with dark (last tergites darker, first tergites lighter with their posterior margins bordered by dark brown, planely or as a line of spots, this coloration being highly variable). No corresponding males have been found. Material examined.
