Descriptions of a new species of Tettigoniinae; Psorodonotus suphani sp. n. from Turkey were given. The relationships between the new species and closest taxa (morphologically and geographically) were evaluated by using morphological characters. Ultimately, some remarkable points of the distribution pattern of the species were presented.

In this paper two new species of Leptophyes from southern Italy are described, L. calabra n. sp. and L. sicula n. sp.. Both species are similar to the common L. punctatissima and the recently described L. lisae from Greece, but can be identified by a combination of morphological and biacoustical characters. Descriptions of both species are provided and an illustrated key to the European species...

Representatives of the Orthopteran suborder Ensifera (crickets, katydids, and related insects) are well known for acoustic signals produced in the contexts of courtship and mate recognition. We present a phylogenetic estimate of Ensifera for a sample of 51 taxonomically diverse exemplars, using sequences from 18S, 28S, and 16S rRNA. The results support a monophyletic Ensifera, monophyly of most...

The auditory sensory system of the taxon Hetrodinae has not been studied previously. Males of the African armoured ground cricket, Acanthoplus longipes (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Hetrodinae) produce a calling song that lasts for minutes and consists of verses with two pulses. About three impulses are in the first pulse and about five impulses are in the second pulse. In contrast, the disturban...

Atlanticus Scudder illustrates a disjunctive distribution comprising 1 subgenus and 10 valid species from eastern North America and 2 subgenera and 14 valid species from eastern Asia. Several authors also predicted that it would appear that China was rich in new species of the genus Atlanticus. Based on investigation of male stridulatory apparatus, as well as previously used characters, includi...

Two new Cocconitini Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1895 species belonging to Nesonotus Beier, 1960 are described from the Lesser Antilles: Nesonotus caeruloglobus Hugel, n. sp. from Dominica, and Nesonotus vulneratus Hugel, n. sp. from Martinique. The songs of both species are described and elements of biology are given. The taxonomic status of species close to Nesonotus tricornis (Thunberg, 1815) is d...

The paper describes one new species of the genus Alloteratura Hebard, 1922 from Yunnan, China, i.e. Alloteratura quaternispina, sp. nov. 

In this paper two new species of the genus Xizicus from Xizang, China are described, Xizicus (Axizicus) spinocercus Jiao & Shi sp. nov. and Xizicus (Axizicus) xizangensis Jiao & Shi sp. nov. The type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Hebei University.

Objective: The literature has many studies in the world about morphology and histology of insect tissues, especially structures related to reproductive systems. However, there are no biology Poecilimon ataturki Ünal, 1999 (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae). For this reason, we aimed that structure testes accessory glands P. revealed. Materials Methods: In present study, organs system male ataturki, an...

Two new species of the genus Pseudokuzicus are described: Pseudokuzicus (Pseudokuzicus) trianglus sp. nov. and Pseudokuzicus (Pseudokuzicus) platynus sp. nov. from China. In addition, morphological structures, a distribution map for known species distributed in China and a key to the species are provided. All specimens are deposited in the Museum of Hebei University, Baoding, P. R. China.
