Nocaracris niethammeri

Ünal, Mustafa, 2016, Pamphagidae (Orthoptera: Acridoidea) from the Palaearctic Region: taxonomy, classification, keys to genera and a review of the tribe Nocarodeini I. Bolívar, Zootaxa 4206 (1), pp. 1-223 : 182

P. niethammeri sp. group

Remarks. The shape of hind femur with strongly widened basal half and with a weak preapical notch distinguishes this species group from all known Nocaracris Uvarov. A similar hind femur with weak preapical notch is also seen in some species of Nocarodes Fischer von Waldheim. Because of this structure of hind femur Ramme (1951: 297) described N. niethammeri in the genus Nocarodes , but this similarity is superficial and the characters given in the generic key of Nocarodeini above (item 8) and the shape of phallus easily allow to distinguish it from Nocarodes .
