The Orthoptera (Ensifera) from the Santana formation (Early Cretaceous, Northeast Brazil): A statistical and paleoecological approach, with description of new taxa Martins-Neto, Rafael Gioia Tassi, Lara Vaz Zootaxa 2009 2080 21 37 Martins-Neto Martins-Neto [151,517,1033,1059] Insecta Cooloolidae Cearagrylloides Animalia Orthoptera 6 27 Arthropoda genus   Etymology.A quite  Cearagryllus.    Typespecies.  Cearagryllus perforatorius Martins-Neto, 1991, designated here. Diagnosis(female). Robust cearagryllids with relatively small head. forewing length equal to the body length; ovipositor long and setiform, longer than the forewing/body length.   Discussion.The Araripe female cearagryllines, although reasonably similar to the male ones, cannot be confidently placed in any of the genera  Cearagryllus,  Notocearagryllus, Allocearagryllusor  Cryptocearagryllus. The generic separation is necessary, although artificial, to prevent mistakes of interpretation. The new genus is useful for paleoecological purposes, as discussed below.
