The Genera and Species of the Tribe Morabini (Orthoptera: Eumastacidae: Morabinae).

Abstract

The tribe Morabini, of four genera and ten species, is revised to the species level. The genus Drysdalopila and species D. lamellicercus are described as new, along with Moraba walkeri, M. darwinensis, and M. concolor, and Spectriforma spinulifera and S. transversa. Keys to the genera and species are provided. Characters of the female genitalia are used for the first time in the taxonomy of the Morabinae; new homologies are suggested for component structures of the endophallus. Geographical and habitat relations are discussed.
