Pamphagidae (Orthoptera: Caelifera) of North Africa: key to genera and the annotated check-list of species Author Massa, Bruno text Zootaxa 2013 3700 3 435 475 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.3700.3.7 371f30c1-ff9d-4fde-9429-fc9d284caf03 1175-5326 249376 E3FA2E4B-DDF4-4FDB-8CF1-FFBA215D40CA [ Neotmethis bidentatus Usmani, 2008 ] Usmani (2008) described the genus Neotmethis , which should differ from Tmethis for the following characters: vertex moderately broad, weakly sloping forward, pronotum with median carina in prozona bilobate, in metazona not raised, metazona of pronotum thin, plate-like, hardly longer than prozona, much wider than its own length; hind wing without dark band. As it has been discussed in the previous sections, the genus Tmethis and its species are much variable both in the structure, integuments, stoutness, presence of hairs and colour of wings and legs; characters of the genus Neotmethis lie within the variability of Tmethis . Neotmethis bidentatus has been described only on a single female, from Sebha (Fezzan) but characters listed by Usmani (2008) match rather well with the variability of T. harterti , of which it should be considered a junior synonym.
