Habitat (Fig. 17). The municipality of Guadalcazar is located north of the State of San Luis Potosí, in northeastern Mexico, it is part of the Mexican highlands “ Altipano ”. Guadalcazar, its main town, is set at an elevation of 1,640 m. Although “ plateau ” or altiplano might indicate that this region is flat, it is far from it. High mountains, canyons and valleys are found throughout the Altiplano. This municipality is characterized by two main mountain ranges occurring southearnly: Álvarez and Guadalcazar mountains. The climate in the area is semi-warm towards the northwestern and eastern portions, while the southwestern is semi-dry. The average annual temperature is 18.1 ° C, with a maximum of 27 and a minimum of 7 ° C. The average annual rainfall is 355 mm. A variety of vegetation types make up the landscape, such as desert scrub, prickly, microphyllous shrubland, nopalera, Izotal and grassland. P. monternach n. sp., inhabits on secondary vegetation and grassland at the footh hills of the Alvarez Mountain.	en	Rocha-Sánchez, Aurora Yazmín, Barrientos-Lozano, Ludivina, Zaldívar-Riverón, Alejandro (2015): Additional new species of the genus Pterodichopetala (Phaneropteridae: Phaneropterinae) from Northeastern Mexico.

P. tuliensis n. sp., inhabits the tropical forest near the town of Tula, in southwest, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Tula’s municipality is set at the highlands of the Eastern Sierra Madre (ESM), and represents a transition zone between the desert and the forest. Climate in the central and eastern portion is semi-warm, steppe in the western and dry steppe in the south portion. Maximum temperature ranges 42 – 43 ºC and minimum between 0 – 4 ° C. Rainfall is the main factor that determines changes in climate, minimum rainfall occurs in the central portion with an average of 400 mm annually; it rises in the west, north and east averaging 500 – 700 mm; the maximum precipitation occurs in the East where the ESM is located, averaging 700 to 1,000 mm per year. Average annual temperature is 20.1 ° C, while the mean annual precipitation is estimated in 424 mm. Xeric or scrub rosette vegetation are predominant (Rzedowski 1978, González-Medrano, 2003). Most common species are Larrea tridentata (D. C) Coville (Zygophyllaceae), Yucca filifera Chabud 1876 (Asparagaceae), Prosopis laevigata (W. & B., ex Will M. C. Jonhst.) (Fabaceae), Acacia farnesiana (L.) Willd. (Leguminosae), Agave lechuguilla Torr., A. striata Zucc., A. montana Villarreal (Agavaceae). Towards the eastern portion, xeric and scrub rosette vegetation disappear to give rise to the Oak forest (Quercus spp.). P. tuliensis n. sp., lives on secondary vegetation in the oak forest, mains host plants are Lantana hirta Graham (Verbenaceae) and Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth ex Walp. (Fabaceae). It has been collected on the slopes of the mountain, at 1400 – 1500. Similar to congeneric species P. tuliensis n. sp., is camouflaged with its host plants (Fig. 32).	en	Rocha-Sánchez, Aurora Yazmín, Barrientos-Lozano, Ludivina, Zaldívar-Riverón, Alejandro (2015): Additional new species of the genus Pterodichopetala (Phaneropteridae: Phaneropterinae) from Northeastern Mexico.

B62A992AFFAE187A71CD3DA05548F985.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. P. robertoi n. sp., resembles P. pityophila Cohn et al. 2015., it may be distinguished easily from the latter species by the following characters: in males the pronotum (in dorsal view) is more constricted about mid portion and larger than in P. pityophila (mid length average 2.4 vs. 2.0 mm, respectively) (Figs. 81, 83 vs. 98, 99). Tegmina (Figs. 81, 82, 84 vs. 98, 100) are broader and more elongated surpassing slightly the anterior margin of the fifth abdominal tergite, not so in P. pityophila. The stridulatory file (Fig. 85) of different shape with ca 78 teeth, 7.3 mm in length and 11.0 teeth / mm (9 – 12) vs. P. pityophila stridulatory file (Fig. 101) with ca 69 teeth, 7.4 mm in length and 9.0 teeth / mm (8 – 10); Cerci distinctive (Figs. 86 a, 87, 88 vs. 102 a, 103, 104), more stylized than in P. pityophila., the main axis exhibits an overall elbowed shape (dorsal view), the basal portion is slightly broader, it tapers gently and curves abruptly inwards before mid-length, then gradually broadens and tapers again towards the rounded apex; about 1 / 4 from the proximal extreme (ventral view) the main axis gives rise to an slender and elongated arm, this is directed inwards and almost straight, except for the distal portion that bends inwards bluntly towards the spiky apex, this arm is proximally stout and tapers gradually towards the apex; in ventral view, the outer edge of the main axis becomes thickened beyond mid-length and about the proximal portion of the distal fourth splits and gives rise to two processes, each of these is convex (spoon-like-shape) and more produced than in P. pityophila, this additional ventral process is shorter than the sister dorsal process and because of the convex shape of both the ventral one seems contained within the distal spoon-like-shape apex of the dorsal process (Fig. 88); different epiproct, as shown in Figs. 85 b vs. 102 b. Subgenital plate deep u excised (Fig. 88) with prominent acute angles vs. deep v-excised in P. pityophila (Fig. 104) with broad angles; internal genitalia as shown in Figs. 89, 90 vs. 105, 106). Females may be separated by the more constricted and elongated pronotum (mid length average 2.6 vs. 2.2 mm, respectively) (Figs. 93 vs. 108), different tegmina (Figs. 91, 92 vs. 107), ovipositor’s lobe and basal sclerites (Figs. 94, 95 vs. 109, 110) and subgenital plate (Figs. 96 vs. 111).	en	Rocha-Sánchez, Aurora Yazmín, Barrientos-Lozano, Ludivina, Zaldívar-Riverón, Alejandro (2015): Additional new species of the genus Pterodichopetala (Phaneropteridae: Phaneropterinae) from Northeastern Mexico.

B62A992AFFAE187A71CD3DA05548F985.taxon	distribution	Distribution (Fig. 112). P. robertoi n. sp., has been collected only at type locality. Habitat (Fig. 97). P. robertoi n. sp., inhabits the Natural Protected Area (NPA) Cerro Potosí, at the Municipality of Galeana Nuevo Léon, Mexico. This NPA (989.38 ha) has been extensively studied because of its unique flora and fauna distributed along an altitudinal gradient that ranges from 2,000 – 3,700 m. It is a unique temperate forest biome located in the southern part of the State of Nuevo León in the western ridge of the ESM, between the Gulf Coastal Plain and the Mexican High Plateau. Cerro Potosí represents the highest peak in Northern Mexico. Due to its geographical isolation and peculiar geological strata, it has many rare, endemic and endangered species. Vegetation types are alpine and subalpine prairie, Pinus culminicola (Pinaceae), matorral (shrubland), mixed forest of Pinus culminicola – P. hartwegii (Pinaceae), mixed forest of Pinus hartwegii – P. culminicola, mixed forest of Abies vejari (Pinaceae) – Pseudotsuga menziesii (Pinaceae) – Pinus hartwegii – P. ayacahuite (Pinaceae), forest of Pinus hartwegii and oak forest (Quercus intrinacata, Q. greggii, Q. emoryi). Climate is temperate, semidry, average annual temperatura ranges from 12 – 18 ° C, and mean annual rainfall between 400 – 600 mm. P. robertoi n. sp., lives preferentially on Malosma laurina (Nutt.) (Anacardiaceae) and dwarf oak (Quercus greggii) (D. C) Trel. (Fagaceae). M. laurina is a large evergreen shrub or small tree growing 3 to 5 meters tall. Leaves and stems are fragrant and give chaparral its characteristic scent; leaves appear moist and supple all year long (García et. al., 1999, Rodríguez-Rivera and Romero-Rangel 2007, Rodríguez Luna et. al. 2013).
