Ordo: Orthoptera
Familia: Tetrigidae
Name
Hancock, 1902b – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Type species
Acrydium compressum Thunberg, 1815
Composition and distribution
(Figs 1, 2). The nominotypical subgenus includes only two species, P. compressus (Thunberg, 1815) and P. foliatus (Hancock, 1902a). These two species are very similar and may represent (subspecies of) a single species. The two species are endemic to Jamaica.
Diagnosis
(Figs 1, 3). In lateral view, the posterior margin of the pronotal crest is excised and/or convex (in Rhombotettix subgen. nov., it is obliquely projected and undulated); the pronotum caudally barely reaches the hind knees (reaching behind the hind knees in Rhombotettix subgen. nov.).
