Ariano wrote a famous Brazilian play entitled “O Auto da Compa- decida”; the main character in this play is named “João Grilo” – “grilo” is the Brazilian common name for cricket. DIAGNOSIS Medium sized body, general coloration of body, head, and legs dark brown, marbled. Male FW short, rounded, dark brown to medium brown towards the internal border, covering metanotal gland area but not exceeding posterior margin of metanotum; apex pale yellow connected to a single vertical vein that divide external part of FW as a lateral field; internal margins touching each other. DESCRIPTION, MALE Medium sized body, general coloration dark brown, marbled. Head . Dark to medium brown with pale yellow maculae ( Fig. 2A, B, D ). Occiput and vertex in different shades of medium brown, with sparse bristles and a light yellow triangular spot in the middle and 2 diagonal lateral yellow stripes ( Fig. 2D ). Fastigium dark brown, with fine bristles, mainly on its lateral part ( Fig. 2D ); longer than wide, slightly narrowed toward the apex,and narrower than scape ( Fig. 2D ); below vertex level, from which it is not separated by a transverse furrow ( Fig. 2B ). Three ocelli present, well developed ( Figs. 2A, B, D ); eye with unpigmented area on supero-internal angle ( Fig. 2A, D ). Maxillary palpus long and thin, specially joints 3 to 5 ( Figs. 2B, J ); joint 5 the longest ( Fig. 2J ); joints 3, 4 and 5 medium to light brown at apex, joint 4 the smallest ( Figs. 2B, J ); apex of joint 5 curved, light brown becoming whitish on distal portion ( Fig. 2J ). In frontal view, frons with dark brown central stripe between 2 yellowish brown bands going from basis of each antennal scape to the darker frontoclypeal suture, and small dark brown spot in this stripe, below the scapes ( Fig. 2A ). In frontal view, gena dark brown, with thick yellowish brown transverse stripe ( Fig. 2A ). In lateral view, gena dark brown on anterior and posterior portion, with central pale yellow maculae divided by a dark brown stripe ( Fig. 2B ). Frontoclypeal suture dark brown; upper margin of clypeus with central medium brown band between light brown and dark brown bands on each side, lower portion whitish; labrum whitish, its apex light brown ( Fig. 2A ). Mandible dark brown, with internal margin light brown. Antennal scape whitish, dark brown on inner face ( Fig. 2A ); antenomeres medium brown with lighter antenomeres. Thorax . Pronotum DD as long as wide, dark brown, inflated, slightly pubescent, divided by thin, light brown vertical line; DD cephalic margin concave and caudal one almost straight ( Fig. 2D ); ventro-cephalic angle broadly rounded, its ventral margin gradually ascendant caudad to the more rounded ventro-caudal angle ( Fig. 2B ). Male FW short, rounded, dark brown to medium brown towards internal border, covering metanotal gland area but not exceeding posterior margin of metanotum; apex pale yellow connected to single vertical vein that divide external part of FW as a lateral field ( Figs. 2B, D ); internal margins touch each other. Posterior margin of metanotum with glandular thickening; metanotal gland present, cluster of bristles seems to form a unique cluster on median region, the projections short ( Fig. 2C ). Legs. FI and FII yellowish, annulated with brown. TI and II dark brown annulated with yellowish brown; TI with 2 equal-sized apical spurs; TII with 2 inner apical spurs and an outer one, smaller. FIII light brown with several dark brown stripes and spots on inner face, apical part dark brown; outer face light brown with medium brown maculae and stripes, apical part medium brown ( Fig. 2O ); TIII medium brown annulated with light brown; TIII subapical spurs 4/4; serrulation between and above subapical spurs, except between inner apical dorsal (iad) and first subapical (is1); apical spurs 3/3, more developed on inner face; inner apical spurs ( Fig. 2N ): median one longer (iam), dorsal sub-equal in length (iad), ventral smallest (iav) (iam>iad>iav); outer apical spurs ( Fig. 2M ): median one longer (oam), dorsal sub-equal in length (oad), ventral smaller (oav) (oam>oad>oav). Basitarsus I, II and III dark yellow, with 2 rows of small spines. Abdomen : Dark brown, marbled, pubescent, divided by thick sagital light yellow line ( Fig. 2A ). Supra anal plate medium brown on anterior portion and distal projections, and yellowish brown on center; anterior margin concave on median part, lateral ones constricted on median portion and very extended distal projections ( Fig. 2E ); posterior margin almost straight. Subgenital plate longer than wide, slightly pubescent, light brown with lateral borders dark brown; anterior margin straight ( Fig. 2H ); posterior margin with slightly extended distal projections, concave on median part ( Fig. 2H ). Phallic complex. Pseudepiphallus: median part of pseudepiphallus sclerotized, curved inwards ( Figs. 3A , 4A ); pseudepiphallic arms sclerotized, straight, hard and broadly bifid at apex ( Figs. 3A, B ; 4A, B ); apex of pseudepiphallic arms smooth, projections same-sized, pointed and sharpened ( Figs. 3A, B ; 4A, B ); pseudepiphallic arms narrower than in E. caipira n. sp. in lateral view ( Figs. 3C ; 4C ); lateral projection absent; basal extension of pseudepiphallus short (visible in lateral view) ( Figs. 3B ).
