Fig. 10 B

Anisops femoralis Fieber, 1851: 483 [original description].

Buenoa femoralis; Kirkaldy (1904): 120 [genus transfer].

Diagnosis.

Large species, male length 7.8–8.6 mm. Synthlipsis wide, nearly 1 / 2 of vertex width. Labial prong much longer than third labial article, originating slightly after half of article. Fore femur slightly widened at apex, with ~ 17 ridges in a triangular stridulatory area.

Taxonomic notes.

Buenoa femoralis is one of the largest species of the genus in Brazil, together with B. antigone antigone, B. crassipes (Champion, 1901), and B. oreia Nieser, Melo, Pelli & Barbosa, 1997 . It is usually larger than the first two species and smaller than the last one, and shows different shapes of the fore femur, stridulatory area, and labial prong. The closest species in northeastern Brazil is B. pallipes, which is a distinctly smaller species, with differently shaped labial prong.
