| Description | The present paper revises the grasshopper genus Parepistaurus Karsch 1896. The established species are re-examined, and their internal genitalic morphology is described. A substantial amount of new material has been examined, leading to the description of 10 new species: Parepistaurus browni, P. eburlineatus, P. intermedius, P. jagoi, P. johnseni, P. mupundui, P. pseudofelix, P. pugui, P. robertsoni, and P. tenuicercus, and 5 new subspecies: P. deses manyara, P. d. nairobii, P. johnseni johnseni, P. j. rectus, and P. j. aduncus. Internal genitalic characters are described for all new taxa. P. vansomereni and P. rufijianus are reduced to subspecies status. The genus Hintzia Ramme 1929 is revived from synonymy and P. squamipterus redesignated to that genus. A genitalic mechanism s hypothesised for the genus in which the basal inner faces of the male cerci interact directly with the sides of the epiphallus during copulation. |
