etymology · Plazi

Etymology . E. zambesiana n. sp. is named after the river Zambesi , where the specimens were collected. Affinities . E. zambesiana n. sp. is similar to E. montana Ragge, 1980 (Chyulu Hills, Kenya ), which has a different male subgenital plate (compare Figs 9e and 9g ), a little different stridulatory file (ca. 125 teeth), and a smaller size (body length of male 26.0 mm, length of hind femur 14.9, length of tegmina 18.7; Ragge 1980 ). It is also related to E. monticola Ragge, 1980 , characterized by redbrown spots on much of the body and a black mark on the stridulatory area; cerci are less incurved and the subgenital plate is shorter than in E. zambesiana n. sp. (compare Figs 9e and 9f ), while the stridulatory file consists of 130-155 teeth ( Ragge 1980 ).
