Abstract
Hydrolutos breweri, a new species of Lutosini (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae) from Cueva Charles Brewer (Churí-tepui, Guyana Highlands, Venezuela) is described and figured. Inhabiting aquatic environment it represents an unusual orthopteran with sternal and pleural area covered by fine microtrichia forming a plastron.References
