Dentoluzara spatulatus n. gen. et n. sp., from the middle lands of the Colombian Andes, is described. This new phalangopsid cricket is distinguished by its asymmetrical mandibles with a basal prolongation in the left one, which is why it is recorded as the first Tusked Cricket. This rare morphological structure has only been observed in some species of anostostomatids and a couple of genera of tettigoniids, but never in crickets. Furthermore, D. spatulatus n. gen. et n. sp., has the ps. p2, from the male genitalia, spatula-shaped, deriving its specific epithet from there. Finally, the new genus peculiar mandibular morphology and the subfamily Luzarinaes taxonomy are commented and discussed.
多齿狼牙棒蟋属新种，来自哥伦比亚安第斯山脉中部，被描述。这种新的蟋蟀具有不对称的下颚，其中左边有一个基部延长，这就是为什么它被记录为第一个獠牙蟋蟀。这种罕见的形态结构仅在一些无翅目和一些短角蝉科的属中观察到过，但从未在蟋蟀中观察到过。此外，D. spatulatus n. gen. et n. sp.，雄性生殖器上的 ps. p2 呈匙形，从那里衍生出其种名。最后，对新属的特殊下颚形态和 Luzarinaes 亚科的分类学进行了评论和讨论。
