Taxonomy of Podoscirtinae (Orthoptera: Gryllidae). Part 8: American taxa of the tribe Podoscirtini
Tribal position of some American representatives of Podoscirtinae and differences between this subfamily and Eneopterinae are discussed.
Two former tribes are reduced to the subtribes Aphonomorphina and Neometrypina (both in Podoscirtini).
Two new genera, four new subgenera, 30 new species and two new subspecies are described.
The former genus Euaphonus Hebard, 1928 is reduced to a subgenus of the genus Aphonomorphus Rehn, 1903.
New replacement name Eneopteroides chopardi nom. nov. is proposed for Eneopteroides flavifrons Chopard, 1956
which is a junior secondary homonym of Eneopteroides flavifrons (Saussure, 1897).
Systematic position and distribution of some other American taxa of Podoscirtini are clarified.
