A new genus and a new species of Neotropical cricket is described: Pepoapua cariacica n. gen., n. sp., occurring in four Atlantic Forest remnants in the states of Bahia and Espírito Santo, Brazil. This new genus is morphologically similar in external characteristics, both male and female genitalia, with two other Neotropical genera of Nemobiinae: Amanayara and Kevanemobius. The combination of the external morphological characteristics, along with male genitalia, characterize a new genus through combination of the following characters: (i) males and females with morphologically similar tegmina; (ii) tegmina reduced, not reaching half of the second abdominal segment; (iii) dorsal field of the tegmina with parallel veins, without stridulatory vein or any specialized area for sound production; (iv) tibia of the first pair of legs without tympanum; (v) tibia of the third pair of legs with seven dorsal spurs, four inner and three outer, the proximo-dorsal inner spur reduced in size and the disto-dorsal inner spur without glandular aspect; (vi) ovipositor with distal portion of the dorsal and ventral valves serrated; (vii) male genitalia without evident bristles or sensillas; (viii) pseudepiphallic median lobe presenting apical and ventral projections.
卡里亚西卡佩波阿普阿属（Pepoapua cariacica），新属，新种，分布于巴西巴伊亚州和圣埃斯皮里图州的四个大西洋森林遗迹中。这个新属在外部特征、雄性和雌性生殖器方面与新热带区的另外两个裸蟋亚科属：阿玛纳亚拉属（Amanayara）和凯瓦内莫比乌斯属（Kevanemobius）形态相似。外部形态特征与雄性生殖器的组合，通过以下特征的组合来表征一个新属：（i）雄性和雌性的翅形态相似；（ii）翅退化，未达到第二腹节的一半；（iii）翅的背区有平行脉，无摩擦脉或任何专门的发声区域；（iv）第一对腿的胫节无鼓膜；（v）第三对腿的胫节有七个背刺，四个内侧和三个外侧，近背内侧刺尺寸减小，远背内侧刺无腺体外观；（vi）产卵器的背瓣和腹瓣远端部分有锯齿；（vii）雄性生殖器无明显刚毛或感觉器；（viii）假阳茎中叶有顶端和腹侧突起。
