چکیده
A previously unknown radiation among flightless spring katydids (Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae: Brinckiella) in Western and Northern Cape provinces of South Africa is described. Seven species are described as new (B. aptera n. sp., B. arboricola n. sp., B. elegans n. sp., B. karooensis n. sp., B. mauerbergerorum n. sp., B. serricauda n. sp., and B. wilsoni n. sp.) and one species (B. viridis Chopard) is redescribed.

Taxonomic notes on two species of bush katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae) from Bukit Fraser, Malay Peninsula.
Material based on a taxonomic collection in Bukit Fraser, Pahang of Malay Peninsula enables the review of two genera of bush katydid (Phaneropterinae). The female of Elimaea (Rhaebelimaea) pseudochloris Ingrisch, 1998 is described and recorded for the first time outside its type locality, Thailand. One new species of Pseudopsyra from Bukit Fraser is described: Pseudopsyra bispina sp. n.

متن کاملAn annotated checklist of the bush katydids (Orthoptera: Phaneropteridae: Phaneropterinae) from Singapore, including an illustrated key to species.
The Phaneropterinae, or commonly known as the bush katydids, are among the most speciose katydids in the world. The bush katydids have interesting life histories but little is known about species from Southeast Asia. The source of problem may lie in the lack of sampling and revised taxonomic knowledge. The paper reports a species checklist of Phaneropterinae from Singapore. In total, 30 species...
متن کاملA century of paraphyly: a molecular phylogeny of katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) supports multiple origins of leaf-like wings.
The phylogenetic relationships of Tettigoniidae (katydids and bush-crickets) were inferred using molecular sequence data. Six genes (18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, Cytochrome Oxidase II, Histone 3, Tubulin Alpha I, and Wingless) were sequenced for 135 ingroup taxa representing 16 of the 19 extant katydid subfamilies. Five subfamilies (Tettigoniinae, Pseudophyllinae, Mecopodinae, Meconematinae, and Listros...
