Mesapyllum Piza, 1971 syn. nov. of Hyperphrona Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878

This genus, created for a male specimen from northeastern Peru (Río Amazonas, Iquitos), is compared to Coelophyllum (now synonym of Itarissa ). Within the genus group Phyllopterae it fits much better in Hyperphrona , and is without much doubt identical with H. punctulata , described from the upper Amazon. It has longer tegmina and hind femora than the male syntype of that species, but venation and stridulatory area of the tegmina, shape of pronotum, and particularly the cerci coincide very well. The female syntype of H. punctulata shows the same darkened clypeus as Piza’s specimen. On the latter’s tegmina is visible a line of faint orangish spots above the radial vein, apparently the eponymous “ serie punctorum ferrugineorum ” of Brunner von Wattenwyl’s species.
