Mol, Abbas, Şirin, Deniz, Taylan, Mehmet Sait & Sevgili, Hasan, 2023, A review of the Anatolian Gomphocerus Thunberg, 1815 (Orthoptera: Acrididae Gomphocerinae) via morphological and bioacoustics characters: data suggesting a new species, a new subgenus and three new statuses, Zootaxa 5353 (5), pp. 401-429 : 420-421

Subgenus: Bolivarianus Mol subgen. n

The subgenus Bolivarianus Mol , subgen.n. differs from nominate subgenus with the following characters; The tegmina does not reach the tip of the abdomen in both sexes, the alae is almost half the length of the tegmina, there is no apical narrowing in the male tegmina, the precostal field and the medial field in the male surpass the middle of the tegmina, especially the tegmina tip in the female is narrowed, the Cubital-1 and Cubital-2 veins are elongated separately from each other, the Cubital-1 and Cubital-2 fields are distinct and the stigma is absent in the tegmina.

Etymology: The new subgenus named after I. Bolivar for first Gomphocerus specimens records in Anatolia.

The subgenus taxonomy is suggested as follows:

Subgenus: Bolivarianus Mol , subgen. n.

Gomphocerus (Bolivarianus) hemipterus Karabağ, 1953 stat. n.

Gomphocerus (Bolivarianus) acutus Karabağ, 1957 stat. n.
