Holotype male, Brazil: Santa Catarina, Águas Mornas (‘Theresopolis’) (NHM, examined).</p><p>Amended diagnosis: Angara albofasciata can be distinguished from species of Angara of Clade A by the aforementioned characters; from species of Clade B it can be distinguished readily by the combination of: head larger than pronotum; anterior and posterior margins of pronotum elevated giving and saddle-like aspect; tegmina shorter than pronotum; larger tibial spines; and styliform processes of male subgenital plate much wider than large. From its closest species, Angara nigromarginata, it can be distinguished by the shorter tegmina, yellowish and thinner cerci, tibial spines shorter and fewer black spots on body.</p><p>Complementary description: Holotype male (Fig. 2): Overall aspect (Figs 2A, 13A, B): small-sized katydids, tibiae with several conspicuous spines.

Henke’ ‘MFM095 ’.</p><p>Remarks: The holotype was examined directly by the first author during his stay at NHM in 2022. It is in relatively good condition, except for missing fore- and hindlegs and having broken antennae, but damaged when compared with the illustration in the original description, shown with all legs and antennae (Brunner von Wattenwyl 1891: fig. 1, p. 197). The type locality of Angara albofasciata, indicated as ‘Theresopolis’ in the original description, is considered by the Orthoptera Species File as Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro State, in southeastern Brazil. However, we had access to two correspondences by H. Fruhstorfer, the collector of the type material, to C. Brunner von Wattenwyl (1887 and 1888), in which he clearly states ‘Theresopolis’ to be a village in Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil. This locality now corresponds to the municipality of Águas Mornas, located about 27°45′S, 48°57′W.</p><p>Angara brauni (Fianco, Engelking &amp; Faria, 2020) comb. nov.

One day, an unknown chief arrived in the tribe. Upon seeing the sadness and suffering of both, he handed them a leaf, from which a tea was made that restored strength for the migration. In gratitude for his help to her father, Yari was transformed into Caá-Yari, the protective goddess of ‘Erva Mate’. The specific epithet honours Caá-Yari, and this curious legend is from the native people of the region.

Furthermore, these authors observed several key morphological differences between the specimens from Argentina and Uruguay and the holotype from Santa Catarina, particularly in the shape of the male tegmina and terminalia. The holotype of Angara dohrni features trapezoidal wings extending beyond half of the first abdominal tergite, in addition to thin cerci, nearly straight with a curved apex, longer than subgenital plate. In contrast, the specimens from Argentina and Uruguay have rounded tegmina shorter than half of the first abdominal tergite, and thicker and uniformly curved cerci, shorter than the subgenital plate.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C7622A20DD2AFFDE14E8492EDED4F91F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Angara taroba, sister to the remaining taxa of the Clade A,is restricted to the Inland Atlantic Forest of western Paraná State in Brazil and Misiones in Argentina (Fig. 11B). Angara caayari occurs in northeastern and southeastern Rio Grande do Sul and in northwestern and western Santa Catarina, in addition to northwestern and western regions of these states and northeastern Argentina, also within the Misiones province (Fig. 11C). The species pair formed by Angara rubra and Angara xukrixi have allopatric distribution, as far as we know; Angara rubra is recorded in northeastern and northwestern Rio Grande do Sul and the northeastern region of Argentina, also within the Misiones province, specifically in northern Misiones (Fig. 11D), whereas Angara xukrixi is recorded in western and central Paraná and the northeasternmost part of Argentina, north of the Misiones province (Fig. 11G).</p><p>In contrast, the species of Clade B are distributed primarily in the Coastal Atlantic Forest, as shown in Figure 12A. Angara albofasciata can be found in the Coastal Atlantic Forest of Santa Catarina, Paraná, and São Paulo, with a distribution nearly identical to Angara nigrocercata (Fig. 12B). Angara brauni is a restricted to the Coastal Atlantic Forest, representing the species with the northernmost distribution within Angara, occurring in eastern central São Paulo State, specifically in the municipality of Bertioga, and in eastern Paraná (Fig. 12C). Angara superba is another species restricted to the Coastal Atlantic Forest, found in eastern Paraná and Santa Catarina (Fig. 12G). The closest relative to Angara superba, Angara nunoi, has a known distribution only in Paraná, in the oriental-centre and southeastern regions (Fig. 12F). Angara flavolineata is recorded in eastern, east-central, and northwestern Rio Grande do Sul and the coastal region of Argentina in Misiones Province (Fig. 12E). Angara dohrni, in turn, exhibits the broadest distribution, ranging from eastern Santa Catarina to the coastal region of Argentina in Misiones, and also occurring in eastern Rio Grande do Sul (Fig. 12D); as discussed above, the records for this species in Argentina and Uruguay are considered here as representing a distinct taxon.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C7622A20DD32FFC114EF4D6ED8C1F8E9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
