Studies on Neotropical Phasmatodea X: Redescriptions of Aplopocranidium Zompro, 2004 and JeremiaRedtenbacher, 1908, with a Survey of the Tribe Cladomorphini Brunner v. Wattenwyl, 1893 and Keys to the Genera (Insecta: Phasmatodea: “Anareolatae”: Cladomorphinae)

A taxonomic survey of the anareolate neotropical tribe Cladomorphini Brunner v. Wattenwyl, 1893 (subfamily Cladomorphinae) is provided, along with a redescription and keys to the seven genera now contained. Two genera previously only known from the females, are redescribed and revised at the species level. The monotypical Aplopocranidium Zompro, 2004 (Type-species: Bacteria waehneriGünther, 1940) was misplaced in Cranidiini Günther, 1953 and is here transferred to the tribe Cladomorphini Brunner v. Wattenwyl, 1893. It is closely related to JeremiaRedtenbacher, 1908 and JeremiodesHennemann & Conle, 2007, but differs from both by the prominent spines of the thorax. The previously unknown male is described and illustrated for the first time and a new extended generic description provided. The genus JeremiaRedtenbacher, 1908 (Type-species: Jeremia grossedentataRedtenbacher, 1908) is redescribed and a key provided to distinguish the two species contained (J. grossedentataRedtenbacher, 1908 and J. gymnotaGünther, 1930). The previously unknown male and eggs are described and illustrated for the first time. Jeremia is closely related to Jeremiodes and Aplopocranidium, but differs by the distinct ventral teeth of the middle and hind legs.
