Genus
Eumodicogryllus
Gorochov, 1986
Type
species:
Gryllus bordigalensis
Latreille, 1804
Included species:
Eumodicogryllus chinensis
(
Weber, 1801
)
(=
E. bordigalensis
syn. nov.
,
E. chivensis
syn. nov.
),
Eumodicogryllus turcomanorum
(
Semenov, 1915
)
,
Eumodicogryllus theryi
(
Chopard, 1943
)
and
Tartarogryllus vicinus
Chopard, 1968
.
Remarks.
The name
Eumodicogryllus
was proposed as a subgenus of the genus
Modicogryllus
(
Gorochov, 1986
)
and later elevated as a genus (
Defaut, 2001
). The species of the genus bear a clypeal suture which is shaped as an angle. At the beginning, Gorochov (
Gorochov, 1986
) included
Eumodicogryllus bordigalensis
(=
burdigalensis
)
Latreille, 1804
,
Eumodicogryllus chivensis
(Tarbinsky, 1930)
and
Tartarogryllus vicinus
Chopard, 1968
into this genus. Then,
Eumodicogryllus theryi
(
Chopard, 1943
)
was moved into this genus (
Gorochov & Llorente, 2001
). But there is one species,
Acheta chinensis
Weber, 1801
, that has been forgotten after it was misapplied synonymy (
Chopard, 1967
; Cigliano,
et al.
, 2021). We re-established this species name here and proposed two junior synonyms,
E. bordigalensis
syn. nov.
and
E. chivensis
syn. nov.
, of it.
