Title: Subfamilial placement of the tribe Finotiini and of the genus Ocneridia (Orthoptera: Pamphagidae)
Abstract: The genus Finotia was established by Bonnet in 1884 and included in the subfamily Pamphaginae; later, in 1916 Bolívar described the tribe Finotiini to include the genus and differentiate it from the other of the subfamily Pamphaginae, tribe Pamphagini. Differently from previous authors, who agreed with this placement, the present authors examined the phallic complex of Finotia maxima Jannone, 1938, finding out that it has the typical characters present in the subfamily Thrinchinae; thus they move the tribe Finotiini from the subfamily Pamphaginae to that of Thrinchinae. In addition, the genus Ocneridia Bolívar, 1912, differently from other genera within the tribe Pamphagini, lacks of the Krauss' plate; coherently with the tribe placements within the subfamily Pamphaginae, the present authors establish the new tribe Ocneridiini to include the genus Ocneridia.
