Revue suisse de Zoologie (March 2016) 123( 1 ): 139-152 ISSN 0035-418 New and little known Epilamprinae (Dictyoptera: Blaberidae) from the collections of the Muséum d’histoire naturelle de Genève and the Zoological Institute RAS, Saint Petersburg. Part 2 Leonid N. Anisyutkin Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Universitetskaya Emb. 1, 199034 Saint Petersburg, Russia. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: A new species of cockroach, Gurneya rothi sp. nov., is described from Brazil. Rhabdoblatta erubescens (Gerstaecker, 1883) and Rh. punctipennis (Saussure, 1895) are transferred to the genus Africalolampra Roth, 1995. A lectotype of Audreia carinulata (Saussure, 1895) is designated. The Neotropical genus Audreia Shelford, 1910 is ascribed to the tribe Morphnini McKittrick, 1964. A detailed morphological description of the new species is given, and Africalolampra erubescens, A. punctipennis, Audreia carinulata and Pinaconota bifasciata (Saussure, 1862) are redescribed. The male genitalia of G. rothi sp. nov., Africalolampra erubescens, A. punctipennis and the structures of ovipositor of Africalolampra erubescens and Audreia carinulata are described for the first time. Keywords: Gurneya rothi sp. nov. - Africalolampra erubescens - Africalolampra punctipennis - Audreia carinulata - Pinaconota bifasciata - morphology.

Fore tibiae not thickened Note: In the author’s opinion, the series labelled distally. Anterior margin of fore femora of armed type “carimitata var. pallida” do not deserve a separation at A, with 25-27 bimarginally serrated spines and 1 not the infraspecific level as they differ only in the slightly bimarginally serrated apical one. Tibial spines well lighter colouration. developed. Structure of hind tarsi: metatarsus shorter than other tarsal segments combined, with euplantula more than one half segment length; euplantulae of Genus Gurney a Roth, 1974 2nd-4th segments large; tarsal spines completely Remarks: This genus initially comprised a single absent, replaced with irregularly placed bristles; claws species, G. obliqua, from Brazil (Beccaioni, 2015). symmetrical and simple; arolium longer than half of claw length. Abdomen without visible glandular Included species: The type species and G. rothi sp. nov. specializations.

Cranial and above right phallomere Description of male (holotype): General colour dirty situated small rounded sclerite of unclear homology (Fig. yellowish; epicranium and two proximal antennal 64, r.scl.). Sclerite L2D (LI) not divided into basal and segments brownish; eyes grey; antennae, with exception apical parts (Fig. 66), slightly bent cranially, with “bent of two proximal segments, grey, yellowish toward apex; outgrowth” at caudal end (Figs 67, 68, b.o.)\ “apical maxillary and labial palps, tegmina in about distal half, sclerite” absent, membranous lobe surrounding caudal wings and abdomen yellow; pronotum with 2 black part of L2D without discernible bristles or sclerites (Figs stripes (Fig. 60). Surfaces smooth and lustrous, distal 67, 68). Sclerite L3 (L2d) with distinct basal subsclerite parts of antennae (approximately from 7-8th segments) (Figs 69, 70, b.L3), “folded structure” and bristles (Figs dull; head (Fig. 59), pronotum and tegmina in about 69, 70, f.s.); groove hge present. Sclerite L4U (L3d) proximal third with deep punctuation. Head about as weakly sclerotized, triangular in shape. long as wide (Fig. 59); ocellar spots absent; facial part globular, with weak semicircular plate between eyes; Females: unknown. distance between eyes 0.8 times eye length; distance Measurements (in mm): Head length 2.9, head width between antennal sockets about 1.7 times scape length 2.9; pronotum length 3.8, pronotum width 5.5; tegmen (0.9 mm); approximate length ratio of 3rd-5th segments length 15.5, tegmen width 5.0. of maxillary palps 1.5 : 1.0 : 1.3. Pronotum widely rounded anteriorly with weakly angulate caudal margin Comparison: Gurneya rothi sp. nov. shares the peculiar (Fig. 60). Tegmina and wings completely developed, structure of armament of the anterior margin of the surpassing abdominal apex. Tegmina with rounded fore femora (i.e., bimarginally serrated spines) with apex; venation subobsolete in proximal fourth, distinct G. obliqua (Walker, 1869), the type and only known in distal half; costal field long and narrow with obsolete species of the genus, and Alphelixia sicca (Walker, venation; Sc thickened (well visible on ventral side of 1869). The presence of bimarginally serrated spines tegmen); R, M and CuA stems not separated basally; readily differentiates these species from all other known CuP distinct. Wings membranous. Sc in length as half epilamprines. The new species differs from G. obliqua as wing; RA with 5-6 not incrassated anterior veins; RS in less expressed dark stripes on the pronotum (compare with 6 veins; M long and simple; CuA pectinate with 3 Fig. 60 and figs 33, 35 in Roth, 1974), the presence of complete (reaching to wing margin) veins; behind CuA apical spine on the anterior margin of fore femora and a long and simple vein, probably corresponding to 1st the truncated caudal margin of anal plate (compare plical vein sensu Rehn (1951) or CuP [probably CuP Fig. 61 and fig. 38 in Roth, 1974).
