A review of the genus Changiola (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Pteroplistinae) and description of the first species from Borneo

Zootaxa. 2021 Mar 5;4941(1):zootaxa.4941.1.6. doi: 10.11646/zootaxa.4941.1.6.

Abstract

The taxonomy of the little-known cricket genus Changiola from the subfamily Pteroplistinae is reviewed here. This genus consisted of three species, two from Malay Peninsula and one from Indochina. Here, we describe a new species from Borneo, the first from the island: Changiola sarawakensis n. sp. We also provide a key to the species, although it is likely that more species will be added to this genus with more sampling in the region.

Keywords: Orthoptera, Gryllidae, key to species, Sarawak, Southeast Asia, taxonomy.
