A new genus of Phlugidini (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Meconematinae) with asymmetrical mandibles Chamorro-Rengifo, Juliana Olivier, Renan Da Silva Zootaxa 2017 4286 3 391 400 8NM6T Chamorro-Rengifo & Olivier Chamorro-Rengifo & Olivier [151,684,474,500] Insecta Tettigoniidae Anisophlugis Animalia Orthoptera 1 392 Arthropoda genus gen. nov.   Etymology.The name is composed of the Greek prefix Aniso (άνισος) which refers to the asymmetric mandibles of males, and  Phlugis, the name of the typegenus of the tribe.  Type-species.  Phlugiola appendicula Gorochov, 2015, here designated.   Diagnosis description.  Anisophlugisfeatures the following combination of characteristics: Male and female brachypterous ( Figs. 1A, B and 2A, B). Males with asymmetric mandibles ( Fig. 1C) and female with symmetric mandibles ( Fig. 2C). Tegmina almost totally covered by the pronotum ( Figs. 1D, E and 2D, E). Male cerci simple, devoid of ramifications ( Figs. 3A and B). Male epiproct bilobed and elongated, paraprocts elongated ( Figs. 3B and C). Male subgenital plate elongated with long true styli ( Fig. 3D). Female subgenital plate with an appendix at apex ( Figs. 2F and G). This new genus of Phlugidinidiffers from  CephalophlugisGorochov, 1998by larger head and pronotum in relation to body size. In  Neophlugis Gorochov, 2012there is a small and shallow concavity along the dorsomedial edges of the antennal cavities, and the male subgenital plate bears subapically located styli. In  OdontophlugisGorochov, 1998the male cerci have teeth and hooks. In  Paraphlugiola Cadena-Castañeda & Gorochov, 2014the male subgenital plate has long pseudostyle projections. In  PhlugiolaKarny, 1907males have simple epiprocts and paraprocts. In  PhlugisStål, 1861the wings are well developed. A comparison of characters across genera can be found in Table 1.
