Description

Small to medium sized and mostly very slender Diapheromerinae (body length ♂♂ <75.0 mm, females <130.0 mm), with strong sexual dimorphism; females apterous, males much more slender and very delicate winged insects. Body of uniform width and smooth or, with mesothorax at best sparsely granulose. Colour of females mostly green, grey or various shades of brown. Males usually ranging from green to brown but may be fairly colorful; often, with conspicuous dark markings or stripes on head, pronotum, mesonotum and abdominal tergites VII–X or, with annulated legs or colorful apices and/or bases of femora and tibiae. Anal region of alae of males transparent but dark brown, with the basal portion orange in a single species. Head longer than wide,, with vertex flattened or at best gently convex; unarmed. No ocelli. Gula covering more than ¼ of cervical membrane. Eyes large and projecting hemispherically in males. Antennae long and filiform, at least ¾ the length of body in males and more than ⅔ the length of body in females. Scapus compressed dorsoventrally and longer than wide; rectangular. Pedicellus cylindrical and antennomere III considerably longer than preceding or following three antennomeres. Pronotum longer than wide and narrower than head. Mesothorax very elongate,> 2× as long as than head and pronotum in females and up to 3.5× as long as head and pronotum combined in males. Mesosternum simple. Tegmina of males slender, squamiform,, with apical portion angular and basal portion strongly narrowed. Alae of males of moderate length and reaching to abdominal segment IV or V; anal region considerably longer than wide. Median segment> ⅔ the length of metanotum in females and several times longer than metanotum in males. Abdominal segment II of males shorter than median segment. II–VII longer than wide and roughly of uniform width in both sexes. VI in females occasionally, with a pair of swellings. Sterna smooth but VII of females, with an indistinct praeopercular organ formed by a node or wart-like posteromedian swelling. Stigmae of tergum VIII close to anterior margin of segment. Epiproct of females small, scale-like and at best slightly projecting from apex of anal segment. Cerci of females straight, cylindrical and variable in length. Gonapophyses VIII slender and longer than IX and at best reaching to apex of subgenital plate. Gonoplacs distinct and equal in length to slightly longer than gonapophyses IX. Subgenital plate small, short and carinate longitudinally,, with apex ± acutely pointed; variable in length but at best reaching to apex of abdomen. Terminalia of males, with conspicuous specialisations. Tergum and sternum VIII partly to almost fully fused, with lateral margins of tergum VIII, often no more than indicated by a fine fissure. Sternum VIII ± enlarged and fused, with sternum IX, which is reduced and has its borders at best indicated by an obsolete fissure. Poculum small, scaphiform and variable in shape,, with apex specialised. Tergum IX, with lateral margins approaching each other ventrally and partly or completely fused, with each other; in the latter case forming a closed tube. Anal segment much shorter than tergum IX, variable in shape and with posterior margin ± distinctly notched medially; ventral surface of posterior margin, with a pair of small, ± developed thorn pads. Vomer increasingly reduced, variable in size, ranging from fairly distinct to very small and triangular in shape,, with a single terminal hook. Cerci very variable in size and shape and of specific structure; ranging in length from being no longer than anal segment to more than twice the length of that segment, and in shape from straight, over gently upcurving or arcuate to strongly incurving and hook-like. Legs of both sexes elongate and ± slender (males in particular) and entirely unarmed. Profemora compressed and curved basally, trapezoidal in cross-section,, with dorsal carinae strongly approaching and anterodorsal carina distinctly raised; medioventral carina moderately distinct and somewhat displaced towards anteroventral carina. Meso- and metafemora and all tibiae trapezoidal in cross-section,, with a fine longitudinal median carina. In females the two outer ventral carinae of meso- and metafemora occasionally, with a sub-apical rounded lobe or medioventral carina of meso- and metatibiae protuded into a rounded lobe sub-basally. Cerci slender and without specializations. Basitarsus strongly elongated (males in particular) and considerably longer than following three tarsomeres combined; trapezoidal in cross-section and sulcate dorsally.

Eggs: Capsule ovoid, longer than wide and ± compressed laterally. Surface ranging from almost smooth and glossy over minutely punctured to slightly rugulose; ± glossy. Micropylar plate elongate, slender and roughly parallel-sided,, with only posterior portion very gently widened;> ¾ the length of capsule. Micropylar cupe near posterior end of plate. Median line distinct and variable in length. Internal plate open,, with a short median line that is distinctly separated from the plate itself. Operculum oval and inserted into capsule at a right angle or at best, with an angle of 10°. In centre, with a low, open and net- or sponge-like capitulum. Colour mid to very dark brown.

Diagnosis

The relationships of Phantasca are not yet fully clarified, but in several aspects a relationship to sections of Libethra Stål, 1875 (strigiventris species group in particular) and certain Jamaican species of Clonistria Stål, 1875 (e.g., C. annulipes Rehn & Hebard, 1938 , C. bicoloripes Rehn & Hebard, 1938 , C. latebricola Rehn & Hebard, 1938 , C. monticola Rehn & Hebard, 1938 ) appear likely (see remarks below).

From representatives of the strigiventris species group of Libethra , both sexes of Phantasca may be distinguished by the much longer median segment, which is several times longer than the metanotum in males and at least ⅔ the length of the metanotum in females. Males also differ by the presence of wings, smaller poculum, partially to almost fully fused abdominal tergum and sternum VIII and the not conspicuously node-like lateral swellings of the anal segment, females can readily be distinguished by the unspecialised apex of the subgenital plate (deeply median notched and bifid in Libethra ). The eggs are averagely less elongate than in Libethra and have the operculum inserted into the capsule roughly at a right angle (inserted at an angle of about 70° in Libethra )

From the above mentioned Jamaican species of Clonistria Stål, 1875 representatives of Phantasca are readily distinguished by the considerably longer median segment and presence of wings in males. While the genital morphology is very similar in most aspects, males of Phantasca have the stigmae of abdominal tergum VIII very close to the anterior margin (somewhat displaced towards the posterior in the mentioned species of Clonistria ), the poculum averaging smaller, and tergum and sternum VIII partly to almost fully fused. Differences between the females are as yet difficult to define, since only the female of one of the Jamaican species of Clonistria is known.

Remarks

There has been uncertainty about the systematic position of Phantasca Redtenbacher, 1906 , mainly because the genus was precedingly only known from the males. Redtenbacher (1906: 111) originally established Phantasca for three small and very slender, winged species described by Westwood (1859), namely Phasma phantasma ( Westwood, 1859) , Ph. puppeius ( Westwood, 1859) and Ph. valgius ( Westwood, 1859) , and placed the genus in his areolate tribe Phasmini. Günther (1940: 500) recognized that none of these species exhibits an area apicalis and suggested a close relationship to Libethra Stål, 1875 and the strigiventris species-group of that genus in particular (see Günther 1932: 258; Conle, Hennemann & Gutiérrez 2011: 205). Zompro (2001: 220) placed Phantasca in his “ Clonistria -group” of the subfamily Diapheromerinae : Diapheromerini and stated the genus to “show similarity” to Clonistria Stål, 1875 (type species: Clonistria bartholomaea Stål, 1875 ) and Libethroidea Hebard, 1919 (type species: Libethroidea inusitata Hebard, 1919 ) in being slender and lacking conspicous metamorphosis of the body. While this assumption is fairly meaningless, the generic diagnosis of Phantasca presented by Zompro (2001: 223) was only based on the males and is inaccurate in some aspects. The mentioned characters “Metathorax half as long as metathorax [should be: mesothorax] and 3 times as long as median segment” and “[abdominal segment] II less than two times as long as median segment” are not true, since the median segment is several times longer than the metanotum.

Günther (1940: 498) described Pterolibethra (type species: Pterolibethra heteronemia Günther, 1940 ) for the two newly described species P. heteronemia and P. poeciloptera and stated that it was closely related to Libethra Stål, 1875 , but in the appendix of the same publication ( Günther 1940: 500) he synonymised Pterolibethra , with Phantasca . This synonymy was revised by Zompro (2001: 225), who re-establised Pterolibethra as a valid genus on the basis that the genitalia of Phantasca resembled those of Clonistria and those of Pterolibethra were similar to those of Libethra . However, the “similarities” postulated were not defined in any more detail by Zompro and examination of all concerned species does in fact not show any differences in the genital morphology that would distinguish Pterolibethra from Phantasca . Hence, the synonymy established by Günther (1940: 500) is correct and Pterolibethra is consequently re-synonymised, with Phantasca herein (syn. nov.). Zompro (2001: 226) furthermore stated that Günther was in error about the length of the median segment of Pterolibethra heteronemia and that it was obvious that the median segment measured only two-thirds of the metanotum. In fact, however, the median segment of the concerned species is several times longer than the metanotum, these two segments showing a similar length relationship as in all other species of Phantasca .

The true systematic position and relationships of Phantasca are still not fully clarified, but the conspicuous genital morphology of the males suggests close relationships to sections of the South American Libethra Stål, 1875 (the strigiventris species group in particular), certain species of the exceptional Caribbean Clonistria Stål, 1875 from the Greater Antilles as well as some species of as yet unknown generic position that are distributed throughout southern Brazil and Paraguay. Furthermore, the often partly to almost fully fused abdominal tergum und sternum VIII, increasingly approaching and sometimes partly ventrally fused lateral margins of tergum IX, as well as the small poculum in males of Phantasca indicate a relationship to Caribbiopheromera Zompro, 2001 (type species: Caribbiopheromera jamaicana Zompro, 2001 ), which does obviously not belong in a close relationship to the “ Diapheromera group” of Diapheromerinae : Diapheromerini where it was originally placed by Zompro ( Bradler 2009: 102). In addition to the genital morphology of males, a relationship between Phantasca and the aforementioned genera is also supported by the morphology of the genitalia of females and egg morphology. However, any broader discussion on the placement and relationships of Phantasca appears premature at this point and apart from a better knowledge of the as yet generically unassigned but possibly closely related species that occur throughout southern Brazil and Paraguay (see above) warrant a comprehensive phylogenetic study that incorporates all of the mentioned genera and support by molecular analyses. These are the subject of forthcoming studies conducted by the authors and will hopefully provide clarification of the true systematic position of Phantasca .

Examination of the genital morphology of the male (the only sex known) of Pterolibethra laeta Conle, Hennemann & Gutiérrez, 2011 from Colombia has shown it to be misplaced. Although the poculum is comparatively small, the short abdominal tergum VIII, which is strictly separated from sternum VIII, the large vomer and broad, dorsoventrally flattened and hook-like cerci place this species in the genus Jeremiodes Hennemann & Conle, 2007 , hence now Jeremiodes laetus (comb. nov.).
