Sectio Nocarodes: Bolívar 1916: 22 View in CoL . Type genus: Nocarodes Fischer von Waldheim, 1846 View in CoL . Sulcatini Harz, 1975: 75 View in CoL , an unavailable name.
Nocarodesinae Zhang, Yin & Yin, 2003: Zhang, Yin & Yin, 2003: 218, 220. Nocarodeini Bolívar 1916 View in CoL : Storozhenko & Paik 2011: 29.
Remarks. This tribe was given as a group of genera, Sectio Nocarodes , for the first time ( I. Bolívar 1916: 22) for Nocarodes F.W., Paranocarodes I. Bolívar , Eunothrotes Adelung , Ocneridia I. Bolívar and Ariasa I. Bolívar (syn. of Ocneridia ). Uvarov (1943: 21) united the two groups of I. Bolívar “ Pamphagi ” and “ Nocarodes ” under the tribe Pamphagini . Bey-Bienko & Mistshenko (1951: 289) listed the Eurasian members of this group in the tribe Pamphagini . Shumakov (1963: 44) and Hodjat (2012: 266) at tribe level, Weidner (1969: 156), Demirsoy (1973: 406), Willemse (1984: 100), Mirzayans (1998: 14) and Willemse & Willemse (2008: 12, 41) at subfamily level followed Uvarov (1943) and Bey-Bienko & Mistshenko (1951). Harz (1975: 75) proposed the tribe Sulcatini for most of this group of genera, as well as for some genera of the present Pamphagini . The family group names must be based on a genus name ( ICZN, Article 13.2), therefore Sulcatini ( Harz 1975) is an unavailable name. Ünal (1997: 19) considered Sulcatini as a synonym of Pamphaginae for the first time, later Storozhenko & Paik (2011: 29) synonymized it again with the tribe Nocarodeini of Pamphaginae . Zhang, Yin & Yin (2003: 218, 220) proposed the new subfamily “ Nocarodesinae ”, but Storozhenko & Paik (2011: 29) synonymized it with the existing tribe Nocarodeini I. Bolívar. In accordance with Storozhenko & Paik (2011) the tribe Nocarodeini I. Bolívar is admitted here with the exception of the genera and subgenera Tropidauchen , Saxetania , Mistshenkoella and Cryptonothrotes that are treated within the tribe Tropidauchenini (see the Remarks section of the tribe Tropidauchenini above).
Main characters of this tribe, the absence of Krauss’ organ, the pronotum not intersected by the typical transverse sulcus, the absence of wings, the presence of distict spinules or denticles along the inner ventral margin of hind femur ( Figs. 266, 267 View FIGURES 259 – 281 ), the reduced posterior lobes of zygoma and arch of zygoma, the absence of tumida of cingulum and the dorsal valves of cingulum ( Figs. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 5 a, b) are recently derived characters. Therefore it is one of the youngest tribes in Pamphagidae .
Twelve genera are included in the tribe. Interestingly 7 genera are represented only by a single or 2 species, Eunothrotes (1), Pseudonothrotes (1), Iranacris (1), Araxiana (1), Ebnerodes (1), Neoparanothrotes (2), Turkanocaracris (2), all of which (except Ebnerodes ) are found in a relatively restricted area, along the eastern border of Turkey and the neighbouring regions of N.W. Iran, S. Georgia, W. Armenia and Nakhichevan ( Figs. 841–848 View FIGURE 841 View FIGURE 842 View FIGURE 843 View FIGURE 844 View FIGURE 845 View FIGURE 846 View FIGURE 847 View FIGURE 848 ). Besides, the genera Bufonocarodes with all species, Nocarodes , Nocaracris and Paranothrotes are also represented by many species in this area. It is clear that the evolution centre of the tribe is this area. Only 2 genera are out of this region, Paranocarodes found in western Turkey, S.E. Bulgaria and E. Greece and Ebnerodes found in S. Turkey ( Figs. 840–841 View FIGURE 840 View FIGURE 841 ).
The tribe may be divided into 2 groups of genera based on the presence of tympanum, but two genera, Nocaracris and Paranocarodes have high number of species, possess species both with tympanum and without tympanum ( Figs. 34 4–353 View FIGURES 32 – 43 View FIGURES 1 – 5 View FIGURES 6 – 16 View FIGURES 17 – 31 View FIGURES 44 – 54 View FIGURES 55 – 68 View FIGURES 69 – 82 View FIGURES 83 – 92 View FIGURES 93 – 105 View FIGURES 106 – 128 View FIGURES 129 – 146 View FIGURES 147 – 155 View FIGURES 156 – 167 View FIGURES 168 – 183 View FIGURES 184 – 204 View FIGURES 205 – 220 View FIGURES 221 – 236 View FIGURES 237 – 258 View FIGURES 259 – 281 View FIGURES 282 – 295 View FIGURES 296 – 311 View FIGURES 312 – 329 View FIGURES 330 – 343 View FIGURES 344 – 374 ). Therefore this division would not have taxonomic value for these two genera. The species of Nocaracris with tympanum and the species of Paranocarodes without tympanum cannot be taxonomic units because of the other characters including the male phallic complex undoubtedly suggest their congeneric state with the other species of Nocaracris and Paranocarodes .
This tribe is easily recognizable as a monophyletic group by the unique phallic complex ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 5 ) and other morphological characters given above and in the key.
