      <p>The subfamily <tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="subfamily">Lophotettiginae</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name> Hancock, 1909, is endemic to the Neotropical region and includes some of the rarest and most poorly known members of <tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="family">Tetrigidae</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">Kasalo et al. 2022</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">Itrac-Bruneau and Doucet 2023</xref>). It comprises only two genera, <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Phelene">Phelene</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic> Bolívar, 1906, and <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Lophotettix">Lophotettix</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic> Hancock, 1909, the latter being known from extremely few specimens (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">Itrac-Bruneau and Doucet 2023</xref>). Since the review of the genus <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Lophotettix">Lophotettix</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">Silva et al. 2019a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">Kasalo et al. 2022</xref>), a sixth species was added to the genus based on a couple of specimens from Costa Rica (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">Kasalo et al. 2025</xref>). Here, we describe yet another new species belonging to <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Lophotettix">Lophotettix</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic>, <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Lophotettix">Lophotettix</tp:taxon-name-part> <tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="species" reg="verhaaghi">verhaaghi</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic> sp. nov., from Peru.</p>
      <p>In a previous paper, we described <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Phelene">Phelene</tp:taxon-name-part> <tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="species" reg="reinschmidti">reinschmidti</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic> from Ecuador, and in that paper, we also provided a 3D model of its holotype to increase the availability of key taxonomic data (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">Kasalo et al. 2024</xref>). Currently, basic photographs of insect-type specimens—some of which were described centuries ago (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">Mertens et al. 2017</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">Ströbel et al. 2018</xref>)—are often still lacking, which drastically reduces the ability of taxonomists to revise taxa. These limitations are even more prevalent in the case of rarely observed and collected species, such as those belonging to the genus <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Lophotettix">Lophotettix</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic>. Consequently, in this paper we provide a 3D model of the holotype of <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Lophotettix">L.</tp:taxon-name-part> <tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="species" reg="verhaaghi">verhaaghi</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic> sp. nov. based on synchrotron X-ray microtomography, making it the second tetrigid species for which such data are available.</p>

        <p>The holotype of the new species was loaned from the Zoologische Staatssammlung München (<abbrev content-type="institution" xlink:title="Zoologische Staatssammlung München" id="ABBRID0EHEAC">ZSM</abbrev>) and will be deposited at the Museo de Historia Natural (<abbrev content-type="institution" xlink:title="Museo de Historia Natural, Lima" id="ABBRID0EMEAC">UNMSM</abbrev>) in Lima, Peru. The transfer of type material to <abbrev content-type="institution" xlink:title="Museo de Historia Natural, Lima" id="ABBRID0EREAC">UNMSM</abbrev> is in accordance with the terms defined in the collection permit used to obtain the material (see Acknowledgments).</p>
        <p>The taxonomy follows Cigliano et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">2025</xref>). Morphological terminology follows <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">Tumbrinck (2014)</xref>.

Nomenclature is in accordance with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">ICZN 1999</xref>). Photographs of the type specimen were taken by one of the co-authors (MV) at SMNK using a Canon EOS R5 with either a Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8L MACRO IS USM for the dorsal, ventral, and lateral images or a Laowa 25 mm f/2.8 Ultra Macro 2.5–5X for images of smaller details. Stacked imaging was performed using a WeMacro rail. Images were then stacked using Helicon Focus.</p>

The measurements were performed at a magnetic field of the wiggler of 2.7 T, resulting in a flux density at 16 keV with an energy bandwidth of 2%. To reduce the heat load on the DMM, the beam was prefiltered with 3 mm of pyrolytic graphite. We employed an air-bearing rotary stage (RT150S, LAB Motion Systems) for sample rotation and a fast indirect detector system consisting of a 200 µm LuAG scintillator, a double-objective white-beam microscope (Optique Peter; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">Douissard et al. 2012</xref>), and a 12-bit pco.dimax high-speed camera (Excelitas PCO GmbH) with 2016 × 2016 pixels and a physical size of 11 µm. A magnification of 2× resulted in an effective pixel size of 6.11 µm. For each scan, we acquired 200 dark-field images, 100 flat-field images, and 3,000 equiangularly spaced radiographic projections in a range of 180° at 150 frames per second. The control system Concert (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">Vogelgesang et al. 2016</xref>) was used for automated data acquisition and online reconstruction of the tomographic slices for data quality assurance. The 3D tomographic reconstruction was performed with Tofu (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">Faragó et al. 2022</xref>) and included ring removal and 8-bit conversion.</p>

        <title>Post-processing of tomographic data</title>
        <p>The individual tomographic volumes were registered and merged in Amira 2022.2, which was also used for presegmentation. The presegmented labels served as input for semi-automatic segmentation with Biomedisa (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">Lösel et al. 2020</xref>). The Biomedisa result was imported back into Amira. Minor errors and artifacts caused by the strong X-ray absorption of the pin were corrected manually. The pin itself was digitally removed, and the holes were filled. The final label field was converted into a polygon mesh and exported as an OBJ file. CINEMA 4D R20 was employed for smoothing of the surface and for polygon reduction. The polygon-reduced model was then imported into Deep Exploration, converted into the U3D format, and integrated into a 3D PDF document.</p>

      <p>Specimens of the genus <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Lophotettix">Lophotettix</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic> are recorded extremely rarely and are uncommon even in museum collections (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">Itrac-Bruneau and Doucet 2023</xref>), which makes them difficult to study. A good example is <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Lophotettix">L.</tp:taxon-name-part> <tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="species" reg="alticristatus">alticristatus</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic>, which was described from Brazil without a specified type locality (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">Hancock 1909</xref>). Much later, a few specimens were found in Ecuador and identified as <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Lophotettix">L.</tp:taxon-name-part> <tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="species" reg="alticristatus">alticristatus</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic> in the literature (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">Kasalo et al. 2022</xref>) and on <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">iNaturalist (2025)</xref> (observations 65896183 and 111218133).</p>
      <p>Following the discovery of the <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Lophotettix">L.</tp:taxon-name-part> <tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="species" reg="verhaaghi">verhaaghi</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic> sp. nov. holotype in Peru, we found that specimens from the western parts of the Amazonian region (Fig. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1A</xref>: blue dots) are morphologically distinct from the holotype of <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Lophotettix">L.</tp:taxon-name-part> <tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="species" reg="alticristatus">alticristatus</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic> described from Brazil. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">Itrac-Bruneau and Doucet (2023)</xref> reported a specimen from French Guiana that is highly similar to the holotype of <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Lophotettix">L.</tp:taxon-name-part> <tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="species" reg="alticristatus">alticristatus</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic>, suggesting that this species could be distributed in the northeastern parts of the Amazonian region. The Amazonian region includes several distinct areas of endemism (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">Silva et al. 2019b</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">Henriques et al. 2024</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">Penhacek et al. 2024</xref>). In most <tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="subfamily">Lophotettiginae</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name> species, as currently understood, the few known localities are scattered across multiple areas of endemism (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">Silva et al. 2019a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">Kasalo et al. 2022</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">2024</xref>). This distribution across relatively isolated regions, coupled with the fact that some populations exhibit apparent morphological differences (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">Kasalo et al. 2022</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">2024</xref>), suggests the possibility that even more distinct species of <tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="subfamily">Lophotettiginae</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name> may be recognized in the future.</p>
      <p>We described the new species based on the shape of the lateral lobes of the pronotum and the anterior margin of the crest, both of which have previously been noted as useful diagnostic characters. A recent DNA barcoding study on Neotropical <tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="family">Tetrigidae</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name> found the shape of the lateral lobes of the pronotum to be species-specific, allowing for the separation of highly similar species based on the dentation of the apical part of the lateral lobes (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">Kasalo et al. 2025</xref>). Besides the lateral lobes of the pronotum, the anterior margin of the crest is considered diagnostically important for <italic><tp:taxon-name><tp:taxon-name-part taxon-name-part-type="genus" reg="Lophotettix">Lophotettix</tp:taxon-name-part></tp:taxon-name></italic> because it appears highly invariable among specimens of the same species (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">Silva et al. 2019a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">Kasalo et al. 2022</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">Itrac-Bruneau and Doucet 2023</xref>). Unfortunately, an extensive molecular study of this genus may still be far off due to the low availability of specimens.</p>
