چکیده
The Australian members of the simoderine katydids are reviewed. The tribe is known from nine genera, five of which occur only in Madagascar, the others are Australian: Chloracantha Hebard (C. lampra, C. angularis sp. nov., C. garradunga sp. nov., C. hilleri sp. nov.), Tallebudgeroptera gen. nov. (T. spininota sp. nov.), Mastigaphoides Weidner (M. haffneri, M. tuberculatus sp. nov., M. vaginalis sp. nov., M. lewisensis sp. nov.), Narea Walker (N. compacta, N. elongata, N. kungaree sp. nov.). Mastighapha Karsch is synonymised with Narea. Descriptions, illustrations, sound recording information and distribution maps are presented for all species.

A range extension for an Australian katydid, Zaprochilus australis (Tettigoniidae; Zaprochilinae).
The Pollen and Nectar-feeding katydids (Zaprochilinae) are an entire subfamily comprising four genera with species wholly confined to Australia. All are flimsy, soft-bodied and rather clumsy katydids. They are prognathous (Fig. 1A) and have the mouthparts adapted for their unusual habits of feeding on pollen and nectar. All fully winged species in Zaprochilus have peculiarly "rolled" wings (Fig...
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...
متن کاملReverse stridulatory wing motion produces highly resonant calls in a neotropical katydid (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Pseudophyllinae).
This paper describes the biomechanics of an unusual form of wing stridulation in katydids, termed here 'reverse stridulation'. Male crickets and katydids produced sound to attract females by rubbing their forewings together. One of the wings bears a vein ventrally modified with teeth (a file), while the other harbours a scraper on its anal edge. The wings open and close in rhythmic cycles, but ...
متن کاملOn the family-group ranks of katydids (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae).
The purpose of this note is to propose minor modifications to recent changes in the classification of katydids, to preserve the stability of the family Tettigoniidae as including all katydids. This concept has been used in the majority of references since it was established long ago (Krauss 1902), with comparatively few exceptions, where all katydid subfamilies were treated as families in super...
متن کاملVersatile Aggressive Mimicry of Cicadas by an Australian Predatory Katydid
BACKGROUND In aggressive mimicry, a predator or parasite imitates a signal of another species in order to exploit the recipient of the signal. Some of the most remarkable examples of aggressive mimicry involve exploitation of a complex signal-response system by an unrelated predator species. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We have found that predatory Chlorobalius leucoviridis katydids (Orthop...
