In this paper we describe two new sympatric species of phalangopsid crickets Adelosgryllus from the Araripe-Apodi Na- tional Forest, State of Cear\á, Brazil, highlighting morphological characters, mainly from male genitalia, tegmina and cop- ulatory papilla. We also present a geographical map for the valid species of the genus, as well as photographs of holotypes and paratypes. The type-material is deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de S\ão Paulo (MZUSP).

In this paper we improve the morphological description of the tree cricket Neoxabea brevipes Rehn, 1913 and a new oc- currence record for the species at the S\ão Francisco de Paula National Forest Conservation Unit, State of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. Morphological characterization is provided together with illustrations emphasizing the most signif- icant diagnostic features, such as the metanotal gland, abdominal specializations and phallic sclerites. The calling song was field recorded, comprising a continuous trill with dominant frequency of 3.6 kHz (19.7\°C). The karyotype was de- scribed for the first time to Neoxabea Kirby, 1906, including diploid number of 2n=26, with two sexual chromosomes.

The aim of this work was to extend the taxonomic knowledge of the species of Anurogryllus Saussure, 1877 that occurs in the southern municipalities of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. We found three different species, Anurogryllus tapes sp. nov. collected in municipalities of Cangu\çu and Cap\ão do Le\ão, Anurogryllus patos sp. nov. from Cap\ão do Le\ão and Anurogryllus toledopizai (de Mello, 1988) recorded from Cangu\çu, Cap\ão do Le\ão e S\ão Louren\ço do Sul. Here we present the descriptions of morphology, male genitalia and calling songs.

We provide herein a description of a new species of Oecanthus collected from the tobacco plantation in southern Brazil, municipality of São Lourenço do Sul, State of Rio Grande do Sul. Description focused metanotal gland features, phallic sclerites, and calling song. A large sampling of individuals was distributed into four groups according to body and appendages color and dotted. We also rank all kind of marks present in the scape and pedicel. We compare linear morphometric variables of the metanotal glands and tegmina, as well as calling song parameters between groups in order do define all of them as the same species. Photographs and measurements are provided.

This study characterizes the calling song and ultramorphology of the stridulatory file of two geographically isolated populations of the tropical bush cricket Eneoptera surinamensis (De Geer, 1773) from city of Foz do Igua\çu, state of Paran\á, and town of Rio Claro, state of S\ão Paulo, Brazil, distant 1,000 Km from each other. The teeth are shell-shaped, the larger ones are dis tributed in the medium region of the file, decreasing gradually in size towards the edges. Specimens from Foz do Igua\çu have a file with 82 \± 9.8 teeth, length=1.89 mm \± 0.15 with 43.76 \± 5.94 teeth per mm (n=15). Specimens from Rio Claro present a file with 87 \± 9.81, length=1.9 6 \± 0.19 mm with 44.52 \± 4.61 teeth per mm (n=15). Statistical differences found between the two populations are not significant. The calling song is an uninterrupted trill that alternates two sets of notes distinct for its temporal features.

The genus Gryllus includes 82 described species that occur in America from Canada to Argentina as well as in several areas of Africa, Europe and Asia. There are 12 species in South America, which were described in the nineteenth century based on a small number of samples and inconsistent characters such as body coloration and external morphology. The aim of this article is to redescribe Gryllus argentinus Saussure, 1874 collected in the urban areas of Pelotas, Cap\ão do Le\ão and Rio Grande, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, highlighting phallic sclerites, calling song and body morphometry. We designate the lectotype male, provide a combination of diagnostic characteristics and discuss the taxonomic situation of South American Gryllus species.

In this study we describe two new species of cavicolous-straminicolous crickets for southern Brazil. Endecous chape n. sp. and E. naipi n. sp. are sympatric crickets that inhabit the Atlantic Semideciduous Forest of the Igua\çu National Park and adjacent areas. The descriptions were based on morphological characters, mainly from male genitalia and tegmina of adult males. Furthermore, we describe the chromosomes and the calling song of one of the new species, E. chape n. sp., presenting a discussion about the morphology of the phallic complex of Endecous and a distribution map for the species of the genus. The type-material is deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de S\ão Paulo (MZSP), and in the Cole\ç\ão de Insetos do Departamento de Zoologia (Zoology Department Insect Collection), Universidade Estadual Paulista\—UNESP\—Botucatu campus.
