Abstract
Three new species of grasshoppers are described herein, Pseudoscopas rubromaculatus sp. nov. and Neopedies sainthilairensis sp. nov. from Parque Natural Municipal Saint'Hilaire, and Pseudoscopas itapuaensis sp. nov. of the Parque Estadual de Itapuã, both in the municipality of Viamão, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Morphological descriptions are provided together with illustrations emphasizing the most significant diagnostic features of external morphology and male genitalia. New species were described by the body color pattern, as well as the epiproct and epiphallus morphology. Information is given about type specimens, material examined, habitat preferences and geographic localization map.
期刊介绍:
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
