Abstract: Two new genera of pygmy grasshoppers belonging to the subfamily Batrachideinae
(Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) are described from Central America, each including a
single new flight- less species. Naskreckiana kosemeni Kasalo, Buzzetti &
Skejo gen. & sp. nov. is described from Costa Rica, Procellator kai Kasalo,
Skejo & Cambra gen. & sp. nov. is described from Panama. Facts
suggesting that †Eotetrix Gorochov, 2012, stat. restit., is not a synonym of
Tettigidea Scudder, 1862 are discussed. The dichotomous key to Batrachideini by
Silva et al. (2021) is updated with the inclusion of these two new genera.
Currently, the tribe Batrachideini includes 14 extant genera and 61 extant
species. Se describen dos géneros nuevos de saltamontes pigmeos (Orthoptera:
Tetrigidae: Batrachideini: Batrachideinae) de América Central. Cada género
nuevo contiene una especie nueva sin alas. Naskreckiana kosemeni Kasalo,
Buzzetti & Skejo gen. & sp. nov. es descrito de Costa Rica, mientras que
Procellator kai Kasalo, Skejo & Cambra gen. & sp. nov. es descrita de
Panamá. Discutimos y sugerimos que †Eotetrix Gorochov, 2012, stat. restit.,
no es un sinónimo de Tettigidea Scudder, 1862. Una clave dicotómica para la
identificación de géneros de Batrachideini por Silva et al. (2021) es
actualizada con la inclusión de dos géneros nuevos. En la actualidad, la tribu
Batrachideini incluye 14 géneros y 61 especies no extintas.
