Journal of Orthoptera Research 29(1): 45-62. https://doi. org/10.3897/jor.29.33717 Abstract The tribe Amorphopini Gunther, 1939 is reviewed. It consists of two genera: Amorphopus Seville, 1838 and Eomorphopus Hankock, 1907 with three Neotropical species: Amorphopus notabilis Serville, 1838, Eomorphopus anten- natus (Bolivar, 1887), and Eomorphopus granulatus Hancock, 1907. Two spe- cies are transferred from Amorphopus to the genera Metrodora Bolivar, 1887 and Crimisus Bolivar, 1887, and two new combinations are proposed: Me- trodora gibbosula (Walker, 1871), comb. nov. and Crimisus humeralis (Walker, 1871), comb. nov. New synonyms are proposed: Amorphopus notabilis Ser- ville, 1838 = Amorphopus griseus Bolivar, 1887, syn. nov.; Metrodora gibbo- sula (Walker, 1871) = Platytettix reticulatus Hancock, 1906, syn. nov.; and Crimisus humeralis (Walker, 1871) = Allotettix bolivianus Brunner, 1913, syn. nov. Neotypes of Amorphopus notabilis and Eomorphopus antennatus as well as the lectotype of E. granulatus are designated. The description of Amorphopus testudo Saussure, 1861 is based on an immature specimen and we considered it as nomen dubius and the type depository of Eomorphopus purpurascens is unknown so we considered it, too, as nomen dubius. The tribe Amorphopini and all included taxa were redescribed and illustrated. A key to the genera and species is provided. Data on distribution, behavior, camouflage with lichens, polychromy, as well as ecological aspects of the species are reported. Keywords behavior, camouflage, chromatic variation, lectotype, neotype, redescription Introduction Metrodorinae is a cosmopolitan subfamily currently composed of five tribes (Cleostratini Bolivar, 1887; Amorphopini Ginther, 1939; Clinophaestini Storozhenko, 2013; Miriatrini Cadena-Castaneda & Cardona-Granda, 2015; and Ophiotettigini Tumbrinck & Skejo, 2017) and about 70 genera of uncertain placement (Cigliano et al. 2019). The tribe Amorphopini Giinther, 1939 [sensu Cadena-Casta- neda and Cardona-Granda (2015)]| is exclusive to the New World and includes three genera: Amorphopus Serville, 1838 and Eomorphopus Hancock, 1907 from the northern region of South America (Cigliano et al. 2019), and Platythorus Morse, 1900 from Central America (Brun- er et al. 1900-1909, Cigliano et al. 2019). Among the Amorphopini, Amorphopus is morphologically similar to Eomorphopus but can be easily distinguished by the enlarged fore and mid-legs (Buzzetti and Devriese 2007, Cadena-Castanieda and Cardona-Granda 2015). Amorphopus was described by Serville (1838) and it is distin- guished by its flattened (depressed) body dorsoventrally, fore and middle femur strongly carinate, shield-like shape, and ovoid tegmina (Hancock 1907, Giinther 1939, Cadena-Castaneda and Cardona-Granda 2015). Currently Amorphopus includes five spe- cies: A. notabilis Serville, 1838 (type species); A. testudo Saussure, 1861; A. gibbosulus Walker, 1871; A. humeralis (Walker, 1871); and A. griseus Bolivar, 1887 (Cigliano et al. 2019). Eomorphopus was defined by Hancock (1907) and was charac- terized by a strongly depressed body, granulose surface, oblique face, vertex truncated anteriorly, frontal costa compresso-elevated, moderately sulcate, between the antennae; pronotum anteriorly truncated and posteriorly acuminated, tegmina oval sublanceo- lated; fore femur strongly carinated (but not shield-like as in some Amorphopus), with the superior carinae often bi- or tri-undulated and inferior carina with only one lobe, middle femur clypeated and foliaceous (see Hancock 1907, Cadena-Castafeda and Cardo- na-Granda 2015). Similarly, to Amorphopus, the genus Eomorpho- pus is distributed only within South America and includes three species: E. purpurascens (Olivier, 1791), E. antennatus (Bolivar, 1887), and E. granulatus Hancock, 1907 (Cigliano et al. 2019). The monotypic genus Platythorus was described by Morse (1900) and is found in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Platythorus lacks wings, the body is not flattened as in the other genera and, unlike Amorphopus or Eomorphopus, it lacks expanded or carinate fore or mid femora (Hancock 1907, Cadena-Castafieda and Cardona-Granda 2015). JOURNAL OF ORTHOPTERA RESEARCH 2020, 29(1) 46 In the present study, we review the tribe Amorphopini and its species, study the status of the genera and species and their eco- logical associations and behaviors, and provide an updated iden- tification key. Additionally, we also present updated distribution maps for all known Amorphopini species. This paper is part of the cooperative study of Neotropical Tetrigidae led by Daniela Santos Martins Silva and Oscar J. Cadena-Castafieda. Material and methods Specimen preparation.—The studied specimens were deposited in the following institutions: Coleccidn de Artr6podos y otros In- vertebrados de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, Bogota, Colombia (CAUD), Academy of Natural Sciences, Phila- delphia, Pennsylvania, USA (ANSP), Naturhistoriska Riksmu- seet, Sweden, Stockholm (NHRS), The Natural History Museum [formerly British Museum (Natural History)], London, England (BMNH), Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, Vienna, Austria (NMW), Museo Natural de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid, Spain (MNCN), and Colecao de Invertebrados do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia, Manaus, Brazil (INPA). Specimen photos were taken with a Leica DFC295 attached to a stereomicroscope M205. The photographs of ANSP types were taken in a photo lightbox with a Canon EOS 1T3i digital camera equipped with a EF 100mm f/2.8 L macro lens. Photographs of living specimens were taken using a Nikon D7100 digital camera, with a 60 mm 2: 8 lens. The illustrations were made using Adobe Illustrator CS6 and Adobe Photoshop CS6. Terminology and measurements follow Devriese (1996) and Tumbrinck (2014). The measures that most discriminated Amor- phopini species were the following: Body length from the tip of the fastigium projection to the posterior tip of the pronotum (CFP); pronotum length (PL); pronotum lateral lobes maximal width (PLB); fore femur length (FF); fore tibia length (FL); middle femur length (MFL); middle tibia length (MTL); hind femur length (HL); hind femur maximal width (HW); and hind tibia length (HL). Maps and distribution data.—Maps were drawn with Simplemappr (Shorthouse 2010). Data included in the maps were collected from the studied specimens and from visits to the different collections previously mentioned, and maps are intended to correct errone- ous or doubtful records in the literature. Distribution data of pho- tographed specimens were also recorded and identifications could be reliably made from photographs. Results and discussion Tribe Amorphopini Ginther, 1939 Taxa included.—The type genus Amorphopus Serville, 1838 and Eo- morphopus Hancock, 1907. Diagnosis.—Small to medium size, robust insects with the body depressed dorso-ventrally (Figs 1A, 2A, 6A, 8A, 9A). Vertex does not project between the eyes, slightly tapering, truncate anteri- orly; the median carina is short and distinct, the lateral carinae slightly more elevated than the median one, fossullae and supra- ocular tubercle absent. Facial carinae significantly pronounced between the antennae, with variable width from very narrow to form a scutellum. Eyes globose in lateral and frontal view. Anten- nae of moderate length with 15 filiform segments, originating O.J. CADENA-CASTANEDA, D.S.M. SILVA, D.M.M. MENDES, M.R. PEREIRA, EC. DOMENICO AND C.F. SPERBER at the mid-point frontal costa, lateral ocelli present between the eyes and the frontal costa bifurcated initially (Figs 1B, 2B, 6B, 8B, 9B). Tegmina and wings always present on the known genera (Figs 1C, 2C, 6C, 8C, 9C). Pronotum granulated and surpass- ing the abdomen apex, anterior margin truncated, lateral lobe projecting sideways, prozonal carina slightly developed, midline from mesozona to the apex. Fore femur carinated and middle fe- mur strongly expanded (Figs 1E, 2E, 6E, 8E, 9E); dorsal and ven- tral margin of middle femur lobed or foliaceous (Figs 1F, 2F, 6F, 8E, 9F), hind femur with antegenicular tooth, transversal ridge (or “chevrons”) between the dorso and ventro external carinae, and transversal ridge between the dorsal margin of the hind fe- mur and dorso-external carina. Comments.—Amorphopini was erected as a tribe by Cadena-Casta- neda and Cardona-Granda (2015) to contain three genera: Amor- phopus, Eomorphopus, and Platythorus. This tribe was characterized by globose eyes in lateral view (Figs 1C, 2C, 6C, 8C, 9C); body strongly flattened (Figs 1A, 2A, 6A, 8A, 9A); fore femur carinated and middle femur strongly expanded; dorsal and ventral margin of middle fe- mur lobed or foliaceous (Figs 1E, FE 2E, F 6E, E 8E, E 9E, F); and body camouflage frequently resembling lichens or bryophytes (Fig. 3) (Cadena—Castaneda and Cardona—Granda 2015) since Amor- phopus and Eomorphopus are found in humid environments such as rivers and lakes (Amédégnato and Devriese 2008). In addition to the previously mentioned characters, Amorphopini differs from the tribes established to date in Metrodorinae by lacking a prolonged vertex (which is common in Clinophaestini, Cleotrastini sensu Sto- rozhenko 2016, and Miriatrini sensu Cadena-Castaneda and Cardo- na-Granda 2015), and by having filiform antennae. Clinophaestini and some Ophiotettigini, have widened antennal segments. Platythorus is monotypic with only one female type, Platy- thorus camurus Morse, 1900, and occurs in Nicaragua and Costa Rica (Bruner et al. 1900-1909). This genus is easily distinguished from other Amorphopini by the lack of tegmina and wings and the middle femur that is not strongly expanded. This genus has morphology rather different from Amorphopini and is placed out of Amorphopini, as a Metrodorinae genus without tribal placement. Distribution.—The Amorphopini species, as well as other species in South America, exhibit a very peculiar geographical distribu- tion (see Silva et al. 2017, Cadena-Castafieda et al. 2019). There is a large area in the north region of South America (mainly Amazon Forest) where these genera are not known to occur (Figs 12-14). In addition, there is only one record for an Eomorphopus species that probably refers to the Atlantic Forest of Bahia State (Brazil), but Giinther (1939) did not provide an exact location. Eomorpho- pus probably does occur in those areas, but its species haven't been sampled or identified due to limited zoological expeditions and taxonomic effort focused on tiny litter insects.

Comments.—Currently A. notabilis has two synonyms: Tetrix cnemi- dotus Burmeister, 1838 and Amorphopus caiman Saussure, 1861, both synonymized by Gunther (1939). A. testudo Saussure, 1861 is an immature specimen (Ginther 1939) and currently the type deposi- tory is unknown (Hollier 2013); this specimen could possibly be an immature of A. notabilis, but we kept it as nomen dubius. Bruner (1910) separated A. griseus Bolivar, 1887, A. notabilis Ser- ville, 1838, A. cnemidotus (Burmeister, 1838), and A. caiman by the size of the females and the coloration of the specimens. The size and coloration in this species may vary, depending on the area, availability of resources, and camouflage strategies (Cadena-Casta- neda 2011a, b, 2013a, b, c). Moreover, colors of specimens preserved in museums may vary by virtue of the preservation method used, such as storage in alcohol, which usually makes the specimens lose its color (Cadena-Castafieda 2012, Cadena-Castafieda and Paez 2013). By studying the type specimens, the synonymy of these spe- cies is confirmed, and we propose that Amorphopus griseus Bolivar, 1887 syn. nov., be considered as a new synonym under A. notabilis. To the two remaining species of the genus, the following nomenclatural acts are proposed: 1. A. gibbosulus Walker, 1871 is transferred to Metrodora Bolivar, 1887, and it is synonymized with Metrodora reticulata (Hancock, 1906) syn. nov. (originally de- scribed as Platytettix reticulatus Hancock, 1906) under Metrodora gibbosulus (Walker, 1871) comb. nov. This synonym is proposed by comparison of the type specimens of both species. It is ob- served that there is no variation in the shape of the fastigium of JOURNAL OF ORTHOPTERA RESEARCH 2020, 29(1) 48 O.J. CADENA-CASTANEDA, D.S.M. SILVA, D.M.M. MENDES, M.R. PEREIRA, EC.

Live Amorphopus notabilis from Brazilian Amazon. the vertex, since both species have a broad frontal costa, similar to the species of the subfamily Cladonotinae. The pronotum has a curvature in the prozone that rises significantly; the apex of the pronotum is curved slightly upwards and the lateral lobes of the pronotum project towards the sides, with the inferior margin tri- angular in shape. Since these diagnostic characters are present in specimens of both species, they cannot be maintained as separate specific entities, much less belonging to different genera. 2. Similarly, A. humeralis (Walker, 1871) (=Tettix humeralis) is transferred to Crimisus Bolivar, 1887, and it is synonymized with Crimisus bolivianus (Bruner, 1913), syn. nov. (originally described as Allotettix bolivianus Bruner, 1913) under Crimisus humeralis (Walker, 1871), comb. nov. The type specimens of both species are females, but, unfortunately, the legs in the holotype of A. humeralis are missing, so the legs were not compared. Nevertheless, both species share the same characteristics: narrow frontal costa, lower margins of the pronotal lobes rounded, without projecting to the sides as in the previous case, subgenital plate triangular, with a small prolongation at the apex. The aforementioned characters are observed in the type specimens of both species, indicating that they belong to a single species. Since they do not have expanded anterior and middle femora, it is ruled out that they belong to the Amorphopini tribe, fitting better in the genus Crimisus. The two species described by Walker (1871), A. gibbosulus and A. humeralis, were not studied again and were not included in the Or- thoptera Species File until Dr. J. Tumbrinck photographed the speci- mens and updated the information. If historical authors like Hancock and Giinther had access to those specimens, for example, certainly they would have considered them to be synonyms. The nomencla- tural acts were carried out by comparing the type specimens and their photographs; A. gibbosulus and A. humeralis do not meet the diagnos- tic characteristics to be included in Amorphopus, but they are similar to Metrodora reticulata syn. nov. (now Metrodora gibbosulus) and Crimisus bolivianus syn. nov. (now Crimisus humeralis), respectively, in diagnos- tic structures such as pronotum structure, face, and terminalia shape. Finally, the genus Amorphopus is kept monotypic and its known distribution is extended through the Amazonian slope, similarly to Pterochroza ocellata (Linnaeus, 1758), a species that was once considered several different species, but is now known to be a sin- gle, very variable species (Xiberras and Ducaud 2004). A neotype specimen is designated as the carrier-name of the species and is supported by the following reasons (ICZN 1999 Art. 75): 1. The location of the only type specimen is unknown. It was deposited in NHRS, but Josef Tumbrinck visited that collection and did not find the type specimen (pers. comm.) “Some of the types of Serville are lost. Some of them are in Paris. But Josip Skejo did not find Amorphopus notabilis in Paris. So - today - the type is lost”. The holotype female specimen has as type locality “Brazil, Para”. This specimen could not be traced from its original description (Arts. 75.3.1., 75.3.4.), but the author provided figures, and when com- pared with the neotype specimen here designated, it agrees with the drawings by Serville (1838). 2. Not having specimens from the type locality, a female from a nearby and available locality of simi- lar geological characteristics was designated (Arts. 75.3.5, 75.3.6; recommendation 75A ICZN). 3. A detailed description is written of the neotype that is in agreement with the general idea of the identity of this species, differentiating itself from other taxa, ensur- ing the recognition of the designated specimen, and conveying a consensus in identifications and wide distribution that character- izes the species, ensuring that most identifications from the past are correct (Arts. 75.3.2, 75.3.3, 75.3.5; recommendation 75B). 4. The neotype is deposited in CAUD, a collection of a recognized scien- tific institution, which maintains adequate facilities to preserve the types and makes them accessible for study (Art. 75.3.7).

SPERBER Behavioral notes.—The Brazilian specimens were collected only in non-flooded ombrophilous forests (Terra Firme). In this environ- ment they are usually found on the trunk and branches of fallen trees, where, due to their coloration and flattened body, they are easily confused with the tree’s bark. Once physically stimulated, the specimens exhibited thanatosis behavior, where the individual remained immobile, leaving its femurs parallel to the body, with the lobes of the femora that mimic foliage lying alongside the body and the tibia folded against the femora. Thus, the body of the insect is very similar to a small fragment of bark, and it remains in this position for several minutes even on physical stimulation. Only after several minutes did the observed specimens leave the thanatosis behavior and move (D. Mello Mendes pers. obs.). Eomorphopus Hancock, 1907 Type species. —Eomorphopus antennatus (Bolivar, 1887). Description.—Body moderately depressed dorsoventrally (Figs 4A, 5A), granulate and moderately rugose. Eyes slightly conical with a flattened base; vertex narrowed forward, truncate anteriorly, not advancing beyond the eyes; frontal costa with a narrow scutellum between the antennae and moderately sulcate (Figs 4D, 5D), lat- eral lobes outwardly dilated below, the posterior angles oblong (Figs 4C, 5C, 6D) or acute (Figs 8D, 9D). Tegmina sublanceolate and wings surpassing the pronotum apex (Figs 4A, 8A). Fore fe- mur strongly carinate, but not entirely clypeate (Figs 6E, 8E, 9E); mid femur flattened, margins above sub-straight, below strongly foliaceo-expanded, often sinuate toward the apices (Figs 6F, 8F, 9F); antegenicular tooth of hind femur developed; the first and third articles of the hind tarsi equal in length. Comments.—For a long time, Eomorphopus species were described as Amorphopus, except for E. purpurascens, which was originally described as Acrydium purpurascens by Olivier (1791) and is still almost unknown, without photos and with scant morphological information. Additionally, some of the available morphological information on E. purpurascens is non-traditional, such as the de- scription of the coloration used by Oliver (1791). Characteristics of this kind can be lost over time (e.g., wings with purplish color- ation). Furthermore, the type species was not defined in the origi- nal description and the depository is unknown. The distribution is known only for Trinidad Island (Olivier 1791). For that reason, we propose as nomen dubius this species, and Eomorphopus only contains two valid species: E. granulosus and E. antennatus. Behavioral notes.—The Brazilian specimens were collected in low- land floodplains in areas of the Solim6es River and non-flooding ombrophilous forests (Terra Firme). They are commonly found in litter on the ground and occasionally on trunks of fallen trees. They are usually found in the same environment with other pyg- my grasshoppers, such as Scaria (Cadena-Castaneda et al. 2019). They are easily unnerved and usually jump when approached.

Comments. —Eomorphopus granulatus Hancock 1907 has been record- ed from Guyana, French Guyana, Suriname, and Brazil. E. granula- tus is the only species of Eomorphopus with type species housed at 95 ANSP. Both specimens of the museum have labels, with the female labeled as “Type” and the male labeled as “Allotype”/"Paratype”. As the author did not designate the holotype in the original descrip- tion, we designated the female as the lectotype and, consequently, the male specimen became the paralectotype. We believe that this redescription will facilitate species recognition in the future. In his description, Hancock (1907) indicated that the body was subtly granulated and cinereous or fuscus-cinereous (ash-colored; gray tinged with blackish), see Smith (1906). Actually, this type has over- all brownish-yellow and brown color.

Variations. —The main variations observed in this species are re- lated to the coloration, that will be detailed later. Morphologi- cally, the undulations of the middle and anterior femur may be more conspicuous in some individuals than others, although it was observed that they are more conspicuous in males than in females. Moreover, the undulations of the dorsal margin of the an- terior femur can vary from two, three, or four, distorting the use of this character to separate the two species of Eomorphopus.

Comments.—Eomorphopus antennatus was described by Bolivar (1887) as Amorphospus, and in 1907, Hancock reallocated this species to the new genus Eomorphopus. E. antennatus is very simi- lar to E. granulatus but is distinguished by the biundulated fore femur dorsal margin vs. the triundulated fore femur dorsal mar- gin in E. granulatus (Bruner 1910). E. antennatus has several re- cords: Peru, Guyana, Venezuela, Ecuador, Suriname, Brazil, and 59 Trinidad Island. Currently, the depository of the primary type is unknown (Cigliano et al. 2019) and there is a female from Alto Amazonas in Bolivar’s Tetrigoidea collection, housed at the National Museum of Natural History, Madrid, Spain (MNCN) (Paris 1993-1994). A neotype specimen is designated as the carrier-name of the species and is supported by the following reasons (ICZN 1999) Art. 75) 1. The status of the only type specimen is lost. It was de- posited in MNCN, but this specimen could not be traced from its original description (Arts. 75.3.1., 75.3.4.). 2. The type female specimen has as type locality Peru, Upper Amazonas, but not having specimens from the same locality, a female from a nearby and available locality of similar geological characteristics was des- ignated (Arts. 75.3.5, 75.3.6; recommendation 75A ICZN). 3. A detailed description is written for the neotype that is in agreement with the general idea of the identity of this species, differentiating it from other taxa, ensuring the recognition of the designated spec- imen, and conveying a consensus in identifications and wide dis- tribution that characterizes the species, ensuring that most iden- tifications from the past are correct (Arts. 75.3.2, 75.3.3, 75.3.5; recommendation 75B). 4. The neotype is deposited in CAUD, a collection of a recognized scientific institution, which maintains adequate facilities to preserve the types and makes them accessible for study (Art. 75.3.7). Amorphopini camouflage The species of this tribe have the peculiarity of camouflaging themselves among lichens and bryophytes in humid environ- ments of the Amazon (Cadena-Castaneda and Cardona-Granda 2015). When the Amorphopini feel threatened, they take posi- tions to go unnoticed, placing themselves flattened on the sub- strate to ensure their camouflage with the environment. The front legs are extended towards the front and the middle and the rear legs remain next to the pronotum. The most striking case is of A. notabilis. The individuals of this species exhibit a peculiar design that simulates the surface of trees or rocks covered by diverse lichen and bryophyte communities (Fig. 3). Its whitish coloration simulates foliose lichen (Parme- liacea and Lobariaceae) or scabby/crustacean lichen (Stereocau- laceae and Roccellaceae), and the reddish to pink coloration of the middle and half of the basal surface of the posterior femur resembles the scabby lichens of the family Arthoniaceae. The gray stripes and other greenish ones give the appearance of surround- ing bryophytes mainly of the families Plagiochilacea and Leuco- bryaceae. They are usually observed covered by a green dust that consists of microalgae. Polychromy in Amorphopini species Color variation is more conspicuous in Eomorphopus species. The individuals of this genus are bluish black, yellowish with brown spots of different shades, light or dark brown (Fig. 7); parts of the body are light or dark brown, with or without stripes (Figs 10, 11). These color variations do not define geographic popula- tions, can occur in specimens from the same locality, and the func- tion of the color variation is still unknown but it may be linked to the microenvironments that individuals inhabit. In A. notabilis, the variations are very subtle and are restricted to the intensity of the gray stripes on the body and the reddish color of the middle and hind legs.
