Type data. ♂ holotype, 1 ♂ paratype (SMF RII 13948/299), from PERU, Cajamarca, Cueva de San Andrés, 30 km NE Cutervo.
Remarks. The allocation of this species to Platymessa is not supported by any combination of meaningful characters. On the other hand, we might tentatively transfer it to Chusgonobius based on (1) dorsal scutum narrow gamma-shaped; (2) shape of equuleus with long slender body forming a triangle, well-developed arms and feet and horns short, very close to each other; (3) femur IV of male moderately elongate, substraight, only bent on distal fourth and (4) a comb of five spines closely placed in a prolateral apical row of femur IV.

description: Platymessa Mello-Leitão, 1941
Platymessa Mello-Leitão, 1941: 167; Roewer 1963: 52; Kury 2003: 81 (type species Platymessa H-inscripta Mello-Leitão, 1941, by original designation).
Platimessa [incorrect original spelling]: Mello-Leitão 1941: 167.
Brachylibitia Mello-Leitão, 1941: 166; Kury 2003: 38 [junior subjective synonym of Cynorta C.L. Koch, 1839 by Goodnight & Goodnight (1953: 38); synonymy disclaimed by Kury (2003: 38); type species: Brachylibitia ectroxantha Mello-Leitão, 1941; by original designation]. SYN. NOV.
Etymology. Brachylibitia: from Greek βραχύς (short) + pre-existing generic name Libitia. Gender feminine. Platymessa: from Greek πλατύ- (flattened) + pre-existing generic name Messa. Gender feminine.
Diagnosis. Outline of the dorsal scutum beta-shaped in males and almost alpha-shaped in females (Figs 1, 7); coda longer in females (Fig. 9); scutal area V with two small paramedian granules; yellowish white color markings of scutum as a ladder mask (a pair of divergent bars connected by parallel thinner blots over scutal grooves) over dark brown background, thinner blots sometimes dissociated. Dorso-apical apophysis of coxa IV as a blunt spine (Figs 1, 7). Chelicerae monomorphic, weak, with marginal rows of acuminate tubercles of varied size on posterior border. Groin warts present, larger in female. Legs short and strong, femur III and IV slightly arched and with five longitudinal rows of small tubercles; basitarsomeres of leg I of male thicker than distitarsomeres but not swollen; cheliceral sockets shallow with well-marked lateral triangular projections.
Taxonomic background of Brachylibitia and Platymessa. Mello-Leitão (1941) described the genera Brachylibitia and Platymessa with three species from Colombia: B. ectroxantha, P. h-inscriptum and P. nigrolimbata. These new genera were based on the armature of the scutal areas and the count of tarsomeres of the leg I (see Discussion section). Roewer (1963) described a third species of Platymessa, P. transversalis from Peru also based only on those features.
Included species. Platymessa ectroxantha (Mello-Leitão, 1941) comb. nov., species inquirenda and Platymessa h-inscriptum Mello-Leitão, 1941 (type species).

Brachylibitia ectroxantha Mello-Leitão, 1941: 166, fig. 1; Kury 2003: 38. Cynorta ectroxantha: Goodnight & Goodnight 1953: 38.
Type data. Type (s) (whereabouts unknown, probably once in MNRJ, now lost), COLOMBIA, Boyacá, La Uvita (6°17’N; 72°30’W).
Etymology. From Greek ἐκτρανόω (signify clearly) + ξανΘός (yellow).
Remarks. The type material of this species is lost. Mello-Leitão’s original description is enough to recognize this as a Platymessa as defined here and a different species from P. h-inscriptum, although a search for topotypes is needed to allow the assessment of many characters. Therefore, the comparative diagnosis as given here is severely limited to what can be squeezed from the original description.
Diagnosis. Scutal area I unarmed, area V with two acuminate tubercles. Ladder-blot with rungs only, no rails. Tarsus III heptamerous. Length of legs ca. 9/15/11 / 15 mm.

First flagellomere dark brown. Frontoorbital plate dark brown. Row of katepisternal setae brownish. Fore tibia brown. Fore tarsus white with brownish pubescence ventrally at base of tarsomere one. Hind femur mostly dark brown, white on basal fifth and with a small angled preapical white ring. Tergites dark brown. Oviscape dark brown.
Head: First flagellomere covered by pale microsetulae. Frontal vitta with a darkened spot anterior to ocellar plate. Frontal vitta flat, not swollen anterior to ocellar plate. Epicephala converging, not immediately merging posterior to ocellar plate (Fig. 43). Epicephalon somewhat swollen above frontal vitta level.
Thorax: Mesonotum with lines of thin brownish microsetulae. Anterior half of postpronotal lobe bare. Femur covered with sparse black microsetulae. Mid and hind tibia almost cylindrical, sulcus on outer face weak. Cervical sclerite brown and with a rounded swelling. Cell r 4+5 open at the tip of the wing.

Material examined. 9 JJ 8 ♀♀ 1 L(instar 3), GABON: Ipassa Res., 19.ix.2006, beating vegetation, Guilbert lgt. (MNHN); 2 JJ 3 ♀♀, Makoku, xi.-xii.1973, Balachowsky-Meunier lgt. (MNHN).
Comments. This species is very similar to A. laminatus (Horváth, 1911). There are no clear habitus differences between both species, possibly except body size and differences in the shape of the paranota. According to HORVÁTH (1911), A. mayri is smaller and the paranota are a little shorter. In addition, both species are distributed in the same area. Further studies are needed to clarify the systematics of the genus Ammianus Distant, 1903.
Ammianus mayri is known from Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Benin, Guinea, and Uganda (DRAKE & RUHOFF 1965, GÖLLNER- SCHEIDING 2003). It was already collected in Gabon in Mont de Cristal near Komo and in the Mondah forest near Libreville but never formally mentioned from the country. These are the first records from the Ipassa Reserve and Makoku.

Diagnosis. Distoleon is readily separated from the other genera of Nemoleontini by the presence of only one presectoral crossvein in hind wing, with forks of CuA divergent and CuP+1A not parallel to the anterior but to the posterior branch of CuA only and that even for a short distance in forewing. The femoral sensory hair is longer than the femur, and the tibial spurs that are always curved and longer than first two tarsal segments taken together (Stange 2004; Kaur et al. 2019).

Discussion. When examining the Homogryllacris specimens collected from Yunnan, we discovered four specimens sampled from Jinping, Yunnan are very similar to Homogryllacris yunnana Shi, Guo & Bian, 2012 with regard to the posterior processes on male tenth abdominal tergite, but they differ from the latter in the following: posterior processes of male tenth abdominal tergite distinctly shorter, basal halves cylindrical, apical halves compressed, sickle-shaped, not decussate, apical areas slightly incurved, tips subacute. Furthermore, DNA sequencing was implemented in two of these four specimens sampled from Jinping, Yunnan and two specimens of Homogryllacris yunnana Shi, Guo & Bian, 2012 sampled from Meizihu, Pu’er, Yunnan based on COI gene, respectively, the genetic distance between them is about 4.1%, which is far below the minimum value of interspecific genetic distances (The interspecific genetic distances range are 6.59–19.49% in the genus according to our analysis). As a consequence, with the consideration of morphological and molecular evidence, we regard these four specimens sampled from Jinping, Yunnan as a geographical population of Homogryllacris yunnana Shi, Guo & Bian, 2012 and the morphological difference mentioned above belongs to intraspecific variation.

Holotype: male; type locality: Gulinqing, Maguan, Yunnan.
Material examined. 2♂ 5♀, Yaoshan, Hekou, Yunnan, 11 September, 2020, coll. Qidi Zhu; 1♂ 1♀, Yaoshan, Hekou, Yunnan, 25 August, 2022, coll. Qi Guo and Hao Xu; 2♂ 1♀, Gulinqing, Maguan, Yunnan, 4 August, 2021, coll. Qi Guo and Yanhao Duan.
Distribution. China (Yunnan).
Discussion. This species was originally described by Liu et al. (2021) based on a male specimen (holotype: male, type locality: Gulinqing, Maguan, Yunnan) and two female specimens from the type locality. We examined specimens of the species from the type locality and one female was identified as this species based on the shape of seventh abdominal sternite and subgenital plate, but two male specimens are more similar to Homogryllacris brevispina Shi, Guo & Bian, 2012 with respect to male abdominal apex and differ from original description of Homogryllacris platycis Liu & Bian, 2021 in the following: posterior processes on tenth abdominal tergite obviously longer, moderately incurved on the whole apart from basal areas, apical areas decussate and pointing outwards. Furthermore, according to results of molecular species delimitation in most species of Homogryllacris based on COI gene (unpublished), samples from Gulinqing, Maguan, Yunnan and Yaoshan, Hekou, Yunnan were assigned into a single molecular operational taxonomic unit (MOTU) in all five approaches. As a consequence, morphological difference of posterior processes on male tenth abdominal tergite is regarded as intraspecific variation.
