03C887D1D63CFFEDFF78FA4E58C4FEB6.taxon	description	Measurements. Female (bd: 40 mm, pr: 9 mm, t: 27 mm, hf: 15 mm, ht: 16 mm) and male (bd: 22 mm, pr: 6 mm, t: 16 mm, hf: 12 mm, ht: 14 mm). Identification. Head, pronotum, and other parts of body are dark and marked with black, pale olive-yellow, and red; the red and black pattern of hind wings closely resembles red-winged species of Chromacris, however the head and thorax are much more robust; tegmina can be shorter, as long as or longer than the hind femur; hind tibiae are usually red (Roberts and Carbonell 1982); abdomen has red punctuations on the dorsal, lateral, and ventral regions, hind femora and tibiae possess no bands (Fig. 1 – 2). Phallic structures are similar to those in Chromacris but differing by the aedeagal valves being strongly sclerotized and larger; rami of cingulum narrow and epiphallus with ancorae well developed (Roberts and Carbonell 1982).	en	Silva, Daniela Santos Martins, Pereira, Marcelo Ribeiro, Lima, Raysa Martins (2021): How to distinguish the Xestotrachelus Bruner, 1913 (Orthoptera: Romaleidae: Romaleini) from other Romaleini in South America, with a report of the first record in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

03C887D1D63CFFEDFF78FA4E58C4FEB6.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The tribe Romaleini is characterized by grasshoppers marked by large size and color polymorphism. There are some details about Xestotrachelus that allow their distinction from the other Romaleini grasshoppers found in South America:	en	Silva, Daniela Santos Martins, Pereira, Marcelo Ribeiro, Lima, Raysa Martins (2021): How to distinguish the Xestotrachelus Bruner, 1913 (Orthoptera: Romaleidae: Romaleini) from other Romaleini in South America, with a report of the first record in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
