Genus MATUANUS Gorochov

Matuanus Gorochov, 1986: 705 .

Type species: Matuanus priapus (Saussure, 1878) .

REMARKS. — The definition of Matuanus has been reviewed in previous papers (Otte et al. 1987; Desutter-Grandcolas 1997b; Gorochov 2003). Here we describe four new species and add information on male FW venation and female genitalia for 6 of the 8 existing species.

INCLUDED SPECIES. — M. azurensis n. sp.; M. bicolor n. sp.; M. bruneonervus n. sp.; M. caledonicus (Saussure, 1878) ; M. elegans Otte, 1987 ; M. flavomaculatus Gorochov, 1986 ; M. mirabilis Desutter-Grandcolas, 1997 ; M. neoplumus Otte, 1987 ; M. priapus (Saussure, 1878) ; M. rectinervus n. sp.; M. rufidulus (Saussure, 1878) ; M. rufomaculatus Gorochov, 2003 .

As mentioned by Gorochov (2003), three species were erroneously included in this genus by Otte (1994): Munda basimaculata Chopard, 1951 , M. punctata Chopard, 1951 , and Adenopterus saussurei (Chopard, 1915) . These errors have been reported in the online data base Orthoptera Species File Online 2 ( Eades et al. 2008), and need be corrected. In the same way, all species from the genus Munda Stål, 1877 have been duplicated into the genus Matuanus .
