Choriphyllum is of neuter gender, so the correct specific epitheton should be " Choriphyllum bahamense " which agrees in gender with the genus). Taxonomic and nomenclatural history. Type locality. The Bahamas: B. W. I. Exuma: Hummingbird Cay W of Georgetown ( Perez-Gelabert and Otte 1999 ). Type specimens. Holotype . The Bahamas • 1 ♂; Exuma: Hummingbird Cay W of Georgetown; 12 Jun 1968; B. K. Dozier leg.; FSCA. Paratype . The Bahamas • 1 ♀; Exuma: Hummingbird Cay W of Georgetown; 12 Jun 1968; B. K. Dozier leg.; FSCA. Distribution (Fig. 2 ). Known only from the type locality, small Hummingbird Cay Island ( Perez-Gelabert and Otte 1999 ; Silva et al. 2019 ). Due to the very small area of occupancy and extent of occurrence, as well as the affinity towards the rainforest habitat, the species might be endangered, but this has to be assessed through fieldwork. There are no new records since the description. Diagnosis (Figs 1 , 3 ). Choriphyllum bahamense can be differentiated from its congeners by: (1) the caudal tip of the pronotum which reaches the tips of the hind knees, but not beyond (reaches behind the hind knees in C. ( Choriphyllum sagrai ) ), (2) the shape of the caudal tip of the pronotum which is excised vertically (in C. ( Choriphyllum sagrai ) and C. saussurei excised at an angle) and (3) the moderate concave slope of the caudal margin of the crest (in C. ( Choriphyllum sagrai ) the crest is higher, convex and sharply sloped and, in C. saussurei , it is lower and concave, but more sharply sloped, with a strong undulation). Table 1. Comparative measurements of the Choriphyllini members. Measurements shown in the brackets were taken from the type specimen drawings. Note the huge size of Phyllotettix rhombeus pronotum.
