Key to species of Eidmanacris (excluding E. paramarmorata )

The first keys to the species of Eidmanacris was published in Desutter-Grandcolas (1995a), one for each sex. Those keys included nine (males) and six (females) species. Subsequently, 10 additional species were described ( Mesa et al. 1998; Gorochov 2014; Campos et al., 2015; Souza-Dias et al., 2015; Bolfarini, 2016), and now 10 more species are added to the genus (seven new species and three new combinations). The following key, for both males and females, includes all the 29 species of Eidmanacris , except for E. ParamarmOrata as this species has no known males.
