Paraeumigus rungsi ( Massa, 2013 ) Chobanov & Massa, 2022

Chobanov, Dragan & Massa, Bruno, 2022, On some Moroccan Pamphagidae, with the description of a new species of Euryparyphes (Orthoptera: Caelifera), Zootaxa 5104 (3), pp. 409-425 : 416

Paraeumigus rungsi ( Massa, 2013) , comb. n. ( Figs. 4B, C )

Type locality: Morocco, Col du Zad .

Material examined. Col du Zad N of Midelt , 33.03526°N, 5.07203°W (2200 m), 31.V.2013 (2♂♂, 1♀) .

Remarks. Genitalia of this species show a muticous posterior area between the pseudolophi and the hind margin of the epiphallus, and the aedeagus has two widened apical tips, both characters that allow to separate Paraeumigus from Euryparyphes ( La Greca 1993) . Thus, this species, presently known only from the type locality, must be transferred from the genus Euryparyphes to Paraeumigus . Paraeumigus rungsi Chopard, 1949 , already exists but it has been synonymized with Paracinipe mauritanica ; see Descamps (1970). On the basis of the art. 59.2 of the ICZN the name Paraeumigus rungsi ( Massa 2013) may be retained.

Measurements (in mm). ♂: body length (from the fastigium to the apex of hind femora): 24.2, 25.0; length of pronotum: 6.4, 6.8; height of pronotum: 5.0; length of hind femora: 10.2, 11.1; height of hind femora: 4.0. ♀: body length: 29.0; length of pronotum: 8.7; height of pronotum: 6.4; length of hind femora: 12.2; height of hind femora: 4.6.
