Key to Albascopia View in CoL species

1. General body coloration light-brown or ochre ( Fig. 6A View FIGURE 6 ). Conspicuous eyes occupy one-third of the head capsule. Subgenital plate moderately projected posteriorly ( Figs. 6E, 6F View FIGURE 6 ). Male phallus: anterior supplementary plate (ASP) conspicuous, covering a large portion of the distal sac (DS) and completely covering the proximal sac (PS) ( Fig. 7C View FIGURE 7 ); the sclerotized membrane (SM) is subtriangular, with a moderate membranous space surrounding the phallotreme ( Fig. 7B View FIGURE 7 ). Only the male phallus of A. caldensis is known..................................................................................... 2

– General body coloration black ( Fig. 9A View FIGURE 9 ). Medium-sized eyes, occupying less than a third of the head capsule. Subgenital plate is not projected ( Figs. 9E, 9F View FIGURE 9 , 14E, 14F View FIGURE 14 ). Male phallus: anterior supplementary plate (ASP) medium-sized, not covering the distal sac (DS) or the proximal sac (PS) ( Figs. 10C View FIGURE 10 , 15C View FIGURE 15 ); the sclerotized membrane (SM) is collar-shaped, noticeably tapering posteriorly, resulting in a wide membranous space near the phalloterme ( Figs. 10B View FIGURE 10 , 15B View FIGURE 15 )............................. 3

2. Fastigium, in lateral view, is as high as the width of its base; gena has two transverse light brown bands; antennal segments are reddish brown ( Fig. 4D View FIGURE 4 ). Subgenital plate not markedly projecting between the angle of the subgenital plate and the frontal plate of the terminalia ( Fig. 4G View FIGURE 4 )................................................................. A. columbica View in CoL

– Fastigium, in lateral view, is higher than the width of its base; gena without bands; antennal segments are ochre, except for the scape and pedicel ( Fig. 6C View FIGURE 6 ). Subgenital plate projecting between the angle of the subgenital plate and the frontal plate of the terminalia ( Fig. 6F View FIGURE 6 ).................................................................. A. caldensis comb. nov.

3. Male: Hind legs green; apex of the cerci rounded and unmodified ( Fig. 9F View FIGURE 9 ). SLS of the phallus entirely covered by the epiphallic and ectophallic membranes ( Fig. 10B View FIGURE 10 ). Base of the EjDS moderately narrowed and not sinuous ( Fig. 10C View FIGURE 10 ). Female: Dorsal surface of the pronotum without stripes and of uniform coloration with the rest of the pronotum. Posterior margin of the subgenital plate nearly straight, with a moderately sized median projection ( Fig. 11F View FIGURE 11 ). Apical diverticulum of the spermatheca globose and boot-shaped ( Figs. 12A, 12B View FIGURE 12 )................................................ A. afroensis comb. nov.

– Male: Hind legs black, matching the rest of the body; apex of the cercus modified and curved upward ( Figs. 14F, 14G View FIGURE 14 ). SLS of the phallus protruding from the epiphallic membrane, spatulate in shape, and divergently oriented ( Fig. 15B View FIGURE 15 ). Base of the EjDS narrowed and sinuous ( Fig. 15C View FIGURE 15 ). Female: Dorsal surface of the pronotum with a light gray stripe ( Fig. 16A View FIGURE 16 ). Posterior margin of the subgenital plate rounded and moderately projected, with a smaller and less pronounced median projection compared to the previous species ( Fig. 16F View FIGURE 16 ). Apical diverticulum narrow, rectangular, and nearly symmetrical ( Figs. 17A, 17B View FIGURE 17 )............................................................................................. A. baudoensis n. sp
