ABSTRACT

The new genus Bostriana n. gen. is described exclusively for the Bolivian species B. boliviana (Piza, 1939) n. comb., which previously was of uncertain generic affiliation and provisionally attributed to Dyme Stål, 1875. The new monotypical genus belongs to a subgroup of New World Phasmatodea currently referred to as Diapheromerinae: Diapheromerini and now a member of a clade termed Occidophasmata. Possible relationships within Diapheromerinae and the supposed taxonomic position are discussed. The type-species, B. boliviana (Piza, 1939), that has previously only been known from the female, is re-described and illustrated. As the holotype is not traced a neotype is designated. The male and egg are described for the first time. The species appears to be geographically restricted to the Provinces of Sara and Andrés Ibáñez in the Departemento Santa Cruz, Eastern Central Bolivia. Brief information on breeding B. boliviana in captivity in Europe is provided.

摘要

新属Bostriana n。将军 专门针对玻利维亚物种B. boliviana (Piza, 1939) n。comb.，之前属属不确定，暂时归因于Dyme Stål，1875 年。这个新的单型属属于新世界 Phasmatodea 的一个亚群，目前称为 Diapheromerinae：Diapheromerin，现在是称为 Occidophasmata 的进化枝的成员。讨论了 Diaphemerinae 内的可能关系和假定的分类位置。模式种，B. boliviana(Piza, 1939)，以前只知道女性，现在被重新描述和说明。由于未追踪正型，因此指定了新型。第一次描述雄性和卵。该物种似乎在地理上仅限于玻利维亚中东部 Departemento Santa Cruz 的萨拉省和安德烈斯伊瓦涅斯省。提供了关于在欧洲圈养B. boliviana的简要信息。
