TABLE 5 in Three new grasshopper species in the Florida Melanoplus Puer group (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Melanoplinae)

TABLE 5. Average comparisons of the key components of male internal genitalia of two species that strongly resemble each other at first glance, but have so far not been collected in geographic proximity to each other (Fig. 1B): Melanoplus ferrarius sp. nov. and M. kissimmee Otte, 2012 (“2011”) (Table 1 and see Fig. 17 for visual comparisons). Component(s)M. ferrarius sp. novM. kissimmee Otte, 2012 (“2011”)lobes of sheath of aedeagus size and shapelarger, apices more bulboussmaller, apices less bulbouslobes of sheath of aedeagus length (lateral view)longer, extend beyond dorsum of ventral valves of aedeagusshorter, do not extend beyond dorsum of ventral valves of aedeagusventral valves of aedeagus bow out (dorsal view)more narrowly (usually)more broadly (usually)ventral valves of aedeagus (lateral view)curve downwards about 45°extend straight out (more or less)ventral valves of aedeagus corkscrewmore obviousless obviousventral valves of aedeagus apicesoften crossing or about to, resembling pair of garden shearsnot crossing, but occasionally starting to slightly overlap表5 两种乍看形态极为相似，但迄今尚未在地理分布上彼此毗邻采集到的物种的雄性内生殖器关键结构平均对比（图1B）：费拉里氏黑蝗新种（Melanoplus ferrarius sp. nov.）与基西米黑蝗（Melanoplus kissimmee Otte, 2012("2011")）（详见表1及图17的形态对比）。 结构项目 费拉里氏黑蝗新种（Melanoplus ferrarius sp. nov.） 基西米黑蝗（Melanoplus kissimmee Otte, 2012("2011")） 阳茎鞘叶（lobes of sheath of aedeagus）大小与形态 个体更大，顶端更呈球状膨大 个体更小，顶端球状膨大程度更低 阳茎鞘叶（lobes of sheath of aedeagus）长度（侧面观） 更长，延伸超出阳茎腹瓣（ventral valves of aedeagus）的背面 更短，未延伸超出阳茎腹瓣（ventral valves of aedeagus）的背面 阳茎腹瓣（ventral valves of aedeagus）外凸程度（背面观） 通常更为狭窄 通常更为宽阔 阳茎腹瓣（ventral valves of aedeagus）（侧面观） 向下弯曲约45° 大致平直伸出 阳茎腹瓣（ventral valves of aedeagus）螺旋状特征 更为明显 相对不明显 阳茎腹瓣（ventral valves of aedeagus）顶端 常相互交叉或即将交叉，形似一对园艺剪刀 不交叉，仅偶尔略微重叠
