Alipes Imhoff, 1854 Figs 84–88 Type species. Alipes multicostis Imhoff, 1854 (by monotypy). Diagnosis. Median tooth of labrum well developed. Forcipular tooth-plates present, trochantero-prefemur with well-developed process ( Fig. 86 ). Tergites with some (usually five) longitudinal keels ( Fig. 87 ); well-developed spinules (not tubercles, as noted Edgecombe & Bonato 2011 ) of various sizes arranged along the keels (“spinulated keels”, see above). Space between tergal keels spinulated (not granulated, as noted Edgecombe & Bonato 2011 ). Sternites lacking both paramedian sutures and longitudinal sulci, sometimes with some (in most species three) shallow depressions. LBS 7 lacking spiracles, the latter with an atrium. Legs with tarsal spur(s). Coxopleural process very short, apically rounded and spineless ( Fig. 88 ). Ultimate legs considerably elongated, prefemur and femur normal, tibia and tarsi strongly flattened forming an oval leaf-shaped structure ( Fig. 85 ), with stridulatory grates on opposite surfaces of tibia and tarsus 1; pretarsus rudimentary or totally reduced. Ultimate prefemur ( Fig. 88 ) lacking both spines and corner spine; in A. appendiculatus Pocock, 1896 and A. calcipes Cook, 1897 prefemur with a median digitiform process attaching close to its base. This process is long in males (fig. 214 in Attems 1930 ) and rudimentary in females and is similar to that of Parotostigmus males. Number of species. 7 ( Bonato et al . 2016 ). Sexual dimorphism. Present in two species. Remarks. Treated as a genus by Edgecombe & Bonato (2011: 402) , Vahtera et al. (2012a: 7 , 2012b: 235 , 2013: 581 ), Joshi & Edgecombe (2018: 1318) . The most recent morphological accounts on Alipes are Lewis (2001) and Iorio (2003) .
