Neoadapantus n. subgenus

http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Orthoptera .speciesfile.org:TaxonName:xxxxxx

Type species: Adapantus affluens Naskrecki, 2008a Diagnosis. Differs from the nominal subgenus by the presence of a weak stridulatory vein and by missing a mirrorlike structure in the left tegmen (compare Fig. 7 C, D , and E, F). According to the figures of Adenes obesus in OSFO, in the sister genus Adenes both characters are similar to A. ( Adapantus ). The related genus Mormotus Karsch, 1890 , however, has no left mirror and a weak stridulatory vein (see figures in Naskrecki 2008a), thus being similar to Neoadapantus .

Included species: affluens Naskrecki, 2008a , angulatus Naskrecki, 2008a , pragerorum Naskrecki, 2008a , marmoratus Chopard, 1954 , nitens ( Chopard 1954) (the last two as far as it can be judged by the photos in OSFO). Unassignable to subgenera: A. castaneus Beier, 1954 (no information about character state in male available).
