Muhammad, Amira Aqilah, Tan, Ming Kai, Abdullah, Nurul Ashikin, Azirun, Mohammad Sofian, Bhaskar, Dhaneesh & Skejo, Josip, 2018, An annotated catalogue of the pygmy grasshoppers of the tribe Scelimenini Bolívar, 1887 (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) with two new Scelimena species from the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, Zootaxa 4485 (1), pp. 1-70 : 40

Paramphibotettix sanguinolentus ( Bolívar, 1887)

Scelimena sanguinolenta: Bolívar 1887 , Hancock 1907a, 1907b, Kirby 1910, París 1994.

Paramphibotettix sanguinolentus: Günther 1938a , Blackith 1992, París 1994.

Type material examined. 1♀ SYNTYPE Java Brunner (with Bolivar's label Scelymena sanguinolenta Krauss ) ( MNCN) , 1♀ SYNTYPE Java Fhs. ( NHRS) . The photo of the syntype is available online in OSF. Specimens from Wien were not examined.

Type locality: Java (without specified locality).

Notes. This is the type species of the genus. Diagnostic characters of the species are presented in the tabular key. The species is somewhat similar to P. lieftincki by the strong second frontolateral projection, and strong and long ventrolateral spine. It is characteristic in presence of elevated frontomedial projection, which is lacking in P. lieftincki . The species is very similar in some characters (low position of the frontal costa bifrcation, lateral ocelli, low pronotal projections on the discus) to members of the genus Scelimena and detailed revision in the future should resolve if Paramphibotettix with its type species is really a separate genus. The main difference from Scelimena species is elevated frontomedial projection.
