Distribution
(Fig. 2). The Cuban Wavy Dancing Leaf inhabits Cuba (Trinidad, Sierra del Grillo and Escaleras de Jaruco) and Isla de Pinos (Gundlach 1891[2], this study) where it can be found mostly in the mountains, where it dwells in the leaf litter (Gundlach 1891[2]). This species is endemic from west-central Cuba.
Diagnosis
(Figs 1, 3).Choriphyllum saussurei can be differentiated from its congeners by: (1) the caudal tip of the pronotum which reaches the tips of the hind knees, but not beyond (reaches behind the hind knees in C. (sagrai)), (2) the shape of the caudal tip of the pronotum which is excised at an angle (excised vertically in C. bahamense) and (3) the low, concave, sharply sloped caudal margin of the crest with a strong undulation (in C. (sagrai) the crest is higher, convex and sharply sloped and, in C. bahamense, it is higher, concave and moderately sloped).
Measurements

![Figure 3. Annotated schematic pictorial key to genera and species of Choriphyllini. Specimens are not to scale; for size comparison see Fig. 1. The red line shows the position of the highest point of the pronotal crest. The blue arrow points to the anterior margin of the pronotum; the green arrow points to the posterior pronotal tip; and the purple arrow points to the caudal margin of the pronotal crest. Shown are silhouettes of the type specimens of each species. For C. sagrai, shown is the silhouette of Serville’s (1838)[11] drawing of the holotype. The capital sinus is marked in red and pointed out in grey.](/wiki/File:Dez-70-129-g003.jpg)
