Abstract
Dentoluzara spatulatus n. gen. et n. sp., from the middle lands of the Colombian Andes, is described. This new phalangopsid cricket is distinguished by its asymmetrical mandibles with a basal prolongation in the left one, which is why it is recorded as the first Tusked Cricket. This rare morphological structure has only been observed in some species of anostostomatids and a couple of genera of tettigoniids, but never in crickets. Furthermore, D. spatulatus n. gen. et n. sp., has the ps. p2, from the male genitalia, spatula-shaped, deriving its specific epithet from there. Finally, the new genus peculiar mandibular morphology and the subfamily Luzarinaes taxonomy are commented and discussed.
Dentoluzara spatulatus n. gen. et n. sp.这种新的长尾蟋蟀的特征是其下颚不对称，左侧下颚基部延长，因此被记录为第一种獠牙蟋蟀。这种罕见的形态结构只在一些无尾类物种和几属tettigoniids中观察到过，但从未在蟋蟀中观察到过。此外，D. spatulatus n. gen. et n. sp.最后，对新属奇特的下颌形态和卢氏蟋亚科的分类进行了评论和讨论。
期刊介绍：
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
