The New World Jerusalem crickets currently consist of 4 genera: Stenopelmatus Burmeister, 1838, with 33 named entities; Ammopelmatus Tinkham, 1965, with 2 described species; Viscainopelmatus Tinkham, 1970, with 1 described species, and Stenopelmatopterus Gorochov, 1988, with 3 described species. We redefine the generic boundaries of these 4 genera, synonymize Stenopelmatopterus under Stenopelmatus, and synonymize Viscainopelmatus under Ammopelmatus. We then discuss, and illustrate, all the types of the species of Stenopelmatus, all of which only occur south of the United States' border. We recognize as valid the following 5 described Mexican and Central American species: S. ater, S. piceiventris, S. sartorianus, S. talpa, and S. typhlops. We declare the following 13 described Mexican and Central American Stenopelmatus taxa as nomen dubium: S. calcaratus, S. erythromelus, S. guatemalae, S. histrio, S. lessonae, S. lycosoides, S. mexicanus, S. minor, S. nieti, S. sallei, S. sumichrasti, S. toltecus, and S. vicinus. We designate a neotype for S. talpa and lectotypes for S. ater, S. guatemalae, S. histrio, S. lessonae, S. mexicanus, S. minor, S. nieti, S. sallei, S. sumichrasti, and S. toltecus. We assign a type locality for S. piceiventris. We concur with the previous synonymy of S. politus under S. sartorianus. We describe 14 new species of Stenopelmatus from Mexico, Honduras and Ecuador, based on a combination of adult morphology, DNA, calling song drumming pattern, distribution, and karyotype: S. chiapas sp. nov., S. cusuco sp. nov., S. diezmilpies sp. nov., S. durango sp. nov., S. ecuadorensis sp. nov., S. faulkneri sp. nov., S. honduras sp. nov., S. hondurasito sp. nov., S. mineraldelmonte sp. nov., S. nuevoleon sp. nov., S. perote sp. nov., S. saltillo sp. nov., S. sanfelipe sp. nov., and S. zimapan sp. nov. We transfer the following 16 described United States taxa, plus S. cephalotes from the "west coast of North America", from Stenopelmatus to Ammopelmatus: A. cahuilaensis, A. californicus, A. cephalotes, A. fasciatus, A. fuscus, A. hydrocephalus, A. intermedius, A. irregularis, A. longispinus, A. mescaleroensis, A. monahansensis, A. navajo, A. nigrocapitatus, A. oculatus, A. pictus, and A. terrenus, along with the Mexican taxon A. comanchus: these species will be discussed in a subsequent paper (Weissman et al. in prep). We believe that all new Jerusalem cricket species descriptions should include, at a minimum, calling drum (most important) and DNA information.
新世界耶路撒冷蟋蟀目前包括 4 个属：1838 年由布尔梅斯特（Burmeister）命名的 Stenopelmatus，有 33 个命名实体；1965 年由廷克汉姆（Tinkham）命名的 Ammopelmatus，有 2 个描述种；1970 年由廷克汉姆（Tinkham）命名的 Viscainopelmatus，有 1 个描述种；以及 1988 年由戈罗霍夫（Gorochov）命名的 Stenopelmatopterus，有 3 个描述种。我们重新定义了这 4 个属的界限，将 Stenopelmatopterus 归入 stenopelmatus，并将 Viscainopelmatus 归入 Ammopelmatus。然后，我们讨论并说明了所有 stenopelmatus 物种的模式标本，这些物种都仅出现在美国南部边境以南。
我们承认以下 5 个在墨西哥和中美洲有描述的种是有效的：S. ater、S. piceiventris、S. sartorianus、S. talpa 和 S. typhlops。我们宣布以下 13 个在墨西哥和中美洲有描述的 stenopelmatus 种是名称可疑的：S. calcaratus、S. erythromelus、S. guatemalae、S. histrio、S. lessonae、S. lycosoides、S. mexicanus、S. minor、S. nieti、S. sallei、S. sumichrasti、S. toltecus 和 S. vicinus。我们为 S. talpa 指定了一个模式标本，为 S. ater、S. guatemalae、S. histrio、S. lessonae、S. mexicanus、S. minor、S. nieti、S. sallei、S. sumichrasti 和 S. toltecus 指定了模式标本。我们为 S. piceiventris 指定了一个模式产地。我们同意以前将 S. politus 归入 S. sartorianus。我们描述了来自墨西哥、洪都拉斯和厄瓜多尔的 14 个新的 stenopelmatus 物种，这是基于成体形态、DNA、鸣叫声鼓点模式、分布和染色体组型的综合结果：S. chiapas sp. nov.、S. cusuco sp. nov.、S. diezmilpies sp. nov.、S. durango sp. nov.、S. ecuadorensis sp. nov.、S. faulkneri sp. nov.、S. honduras sp. nov.、S. hondurasito sp. nov.、S. mineraldelmonte sp. nov.、S. nuevoleon sp. nov.、S. perote sp. nov.、S. saltillo sp. nov.、S. sanfelipe sp. nov. 和 S. zimapan sp. nov.。
我们将以下 16 个在美国有描述的种，以及来自“北美洲西海岸”的 S. cephalotes，从 stenopelmatus 归入 Ammopelmatus：A. cahuilaensis、A. californicus、A. cephalotes、A. fasciatus、A. fuscus、A. hydrocephalus、A. intermedius、A. irregularis、A. longispinus、A. mescaleroensis、A. monahansensis、A. navajo、A. nigrocapitatus、A. oculatus、A. pictus 和 A. terrenus，以及墨西哥的种 A. comanchus：这些物种将在后续的论文中讨论（Weissman 等人，正在准备中）。
我们认为，所有新的耶路撒冷蟋蟀物种描述都应至少包括鸣叫声（最重要的）和 DNA 信息。
