Although male crickets provide more informative characters for the delimitation of species and genera, many taxonomic descriptions are based only on females. This is the case for Argizala Walker, 1869 and its two valid species, A. brasiliensis Walker, 1869 and A. hebardi Rehn, 1915. We provide herein a redescription of A. brasiliensis based on a male collected in the Pampa Biome, Capão do Leão municipality, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. We present photographs of epitype and male genitalia, and discuss the diagnostic features of the genus and its morphological proximity to other Pteronemobiini Nearctic genera.
尽管雄性蟋蟀为物种和属的划分提供了更多信息丰富的特征，但许多分类学描述仅基于雌性。1869年的阿吉扎拉属（Argizala Walker）及其两个有效物种，即1869年的巴西阿吉扎拉（A. brasiliensis Walker）和1915年的赫巴迪阿吉扎拉（A. hebardi Rehn）就是这种情况。在此，我们基于在巴西南里奥格兰德州卡庞杜莱昂市潘帕生物群落采集的一只雄性蟋蟀，对巴西阿吉扎拉进行了重新描述。我们展示了后选模式标本和雄性生殖器的照片，并讨论了该属的诊断特征及其与其他新北区蕨螽亚科属的形态学亲缘关系。
