039CF14DFFB7FFF2FF30CFD2BC88F868.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The genus Dithela is characterized by small dorsolateral tubercle on each side of the pronotum, fore coxae without spine, fore femora armed, fore and mid tibiae without dorsal spurs, radial area with series of callosities on principal cross-veins, hind margin of male left tegmen markedly excavate just beyond stridulatory region, subgenital plate without styli. The species below described, Dithela longicaudata n. sp., does not show the callosities on the tegmina, has 1 spur on dorsal fore tibiae, 2 spurs on dorsal mid tibiae, and has tegmina clearly shorter than hind wings, different from the two known species of the genus, D. rectiloba Karsch, 1890 and D. acuticercus Sjöstedt, 1912. However, it is tentatively ascribed to the genus Dithela, based on the other characters.	en	Massa, Bruno (2017): New genera, species and records of Afrotropical Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) preserved at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Bruxelles.

039CF14DFFB7FFF2FF30CD55BD14F9F3.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The description of this species was based on 2 males (Massa 2015); the series listed above contains also one female, other than 5 males. M. claudiae is characterized by narrower tegmina than congeneric species (see Massa 2015 and measurements). The stridulatory area is presented in Fig. 1 A, the stridulatory file (previously undescribed) consists of 18 teeth, of which 5 proximal larger and 13 distal smaller (Fig. 1 B). Characters of the female. Similar as male. Colour. Yellow-green. The ovipositor is gently up-curved and has two lateral bulges at its base, the subgenital plate is short and pointed (Fig. 1 C).	en	Massa, Bruno (2017): New genera, species and records of Afrotropical Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) preserved at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Bruxelles.

039CF14DFFB7FFF2FF30CBF2BB97FC6A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Stål (1876) described the genus Melidia, highlighting the following main differences with Phaneroptera Serville, 1831: fastigium of vertex more concave, wings longer and wider, apex of radial area of tegmina larger, humeral sinus less deep, sub-rectangular, lower and posterior margins of pronotum lobes rounded. Ragge (1980) also highlighted some differences with Phaneroptera, as the more robust body, the relatively broader fore wings (less than 5 times longer that their maximum width) and in the males the stridulatory area of the left tegmen brown or conspicuously marked with brown, thus contrasting with the general green colouring. Concerning the ratio length / width of tegmina, Melidia claudiae has tegmina more than 5 times longer than their maximum length, but other characters lie within the genus Melidia.	en	Massa, Bruno (2017): New genera, species and records of Afrotropical Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) preserved at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Bruxelles.

039CF14DFFB4FFF7FF30CF08BD2EFC74.taxon	description	Description of the male (Fig. 2 A). Colour. Green with yellowish-green legs, antennae brown, stridulatory area of the left tegmen a little darkened. Head. Fastigium of vertex very narrow, sulcate above, separated from the fastigium of frons, which is tuberculated. Eyes rounded, well projecting, 2 times as smaller than subocular groove. Pronotum. Lobes very low and humeral sinus barely marked, anterior margin of pronotum straight, posterior rounded. Legs. Fore coxae unarmed. Fore tibiae furrowed superiorly, distinctly widening above tympanum. Tympanum open on inner and outer sides. Fore femora armed with 4 – 7 spines on ventral inner and 3 – 6 on ventral outer margins, fore tibiae with 6 spines + 1 spur on ventral inner and outer margins, and 2 spines + 1 spur on dorsal outer margin. Mid femora with 6 – 9 spines on ventral outer margin, mid tibiae with 8 spines + 1 spur on ventral inner and outer margins and 5 – 6 spines + 1 spur on dorsal inner and outer margins. Hind femora unarmed, hind tibiae with 5 – 6 spines on ventral inner margin and ca. 40 spines on dorsal inner and outer margins + 3 spurs on each side. Wings. Tegmina narrow. Stridulatory area of the left tegmen stout and long, mirror of the right tegmen wide. Stridulatory file short, ca. 1.2 mm long, consisting of less than 40 unevenly distributed teeth (Fig. 2 B). Abdomen. 10 th tergite unmodified, with a straight hind margin. Cerci long, pointed and up-curved (Fig. 2 D), shorter than the subgenital plate.

039CF14DFFB2FFF7FF30CF5DBB9BF84A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The last tergite of this taxon is similar to the specimen described by Giglio-Tos (1907) as the male of E. aequatorialis Krauss, 1890. Concerning the latter and the difficulty in the genus Eurycorypha to match male and female of the same species, it seems inappropriate that the male of E. aequatoralis was described from Madimba (Democratic Republic of Congo), while the female holotype came from Rolas Is. (Sao Tomé, Equatorial Guinea). Thus, it is yet uncertain that the male described by Giglio-Tos (1907) does actually belong to E. aequatorialis or to as yet undescribed species.	en	Massa, Bruno (2017): New genera, species and records of Afrotropical Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) preserved at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Bruxelles.

039CF14DFFB3FFF6FF30CDCFB814F84B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Only the female of this species was known (Stål 1874), characterized by the pronotum with rough punctuation. Karsch (1889) reported it from some continental African countries; however, it is supposed to be an endemic taxon from Madagascar and the description of the male has to be carried out from Madagascar material. The specimens above listed (both males and females) have rough punctuation on the pronotum and small black dots scattered on the tegmina and may be considered to belong to the same species, E. prasinata. It is possible to exclude E. brevipennis Karsch, 1889 from Madagascar, that also has a wrinkled pronotum with definite margins, but its tegmina are rather short and very oval, with the hind wings no longer than fore wings. Characters of male. Anterior margin of pronotum concave, posterior margin rounded. 5 spines on inner margin of fore femora, 5 spines on inner ventral margin of fore tibiae, mid femora unarmed, mid tibiae with 7 spines on inner and outer ventral margins, hind femora with 8 spines on outer and 3 on inner ventral margins, hind tibia with 3 apical spurs on each side. Last tergite not modified, cerci incurved, stout with a black tip.

Griffini (1908) reported the males of two unidentified species of Eurycorypha, whose characteristics did not match those of known species; however, he remarked that the description of many species of Eurycorypha was from the female sex, and consequently the above listed males could belong to species known only from females and consequently the above listed males could belong to species described only from the female sex. The opportunity to study the specimens listed by Griffini (1908) allowed to take some photographs of their characters, here presented in Figs 5 and 6. This will consent in the future to ascertain if they belong to undescribed species or to species already described from the female sex. Recently the male of Eurycorypha flavescens (Walker, 1869) and Eurycorypha klaptoczi Karny, 1917 (both known only from the female sex) were described by Massa (2017 b), who obtained a series of males and females collected together. Characters of the species cited by Griffini (1908) are the following. Species 1. The stridulatory file is sinuous and consist of ca. 80 evenly spaced teeth. The anal segment has an horizontal compressed process, narrowed on the centre and well enlarged at the apex, where it is obliquely cut; it is vertically furrowed and divided into two short dorsal and two ventral tips. Cerci are broad, stout, up-bent after the centre as an elbow, well compressed and curved, apically obtuse. The subgenital plate is short, apically concave without styli (Figs 5 A, 5 B, 5 C, 5 D, 5 E).	en	Massa, Bruno (2017): New genera, species and records of Afrotropical Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) preserved at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Bruxelles.

039CF14DFFA6FFE2FF30C9B0B9D9F9EF.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Five species are known in the genus Morgenia Karsch, 1890, namely: M. hamuligera Karsch, 1890, M. melica Karsch, 1893, M. modulata Karsch, 1896, M. rubricornis Sjöstedt, 1913 and M. spathulifera Griffini, 1908. Cerci of the latter species (Fig. 11 A) are quite similar to those of M. rubricornis (Fig. 11 B) and M. hamuligera (Fig. 11 C), but M. spathulifera may be easily separated from the other two species by the ratio length / width of tegmina (6.6 – 6.7 in M. spathulifera, 5.5 – 5.6 in M. hamuligera and M. rubricornis). Cerci of M. melica and M. modulata are very similar between them (those of M. modulata are more slender apically than those of M. melica), but they clearly differ from those of the previous three species (compare Figs 10 D with 10 A, 10 B, 10 C). In addition, the shape of the male subgenital plate (Figs 12 A – 12 D) and of the stridulatory file (Figs 13 A – 13 D) allow to tell apart them. M. spathulifera is also characterized by the presence of small grey dots on tegmina.	en	Massa, Bruno (2017): New genera, species and records of Afrotropical Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) preserved at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Bruxelles.

039CF14DFFA4FFE1FF30C9F6B9D0FC4B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. P. shoutedeni was described from only one female. According to Griffini (1908) it differs from P. adeps Karsch, 1896 by the number of veinlets branching off from the radial vein of tegmina (Figs 14 A, 14 B). They are three, all placed after the centre of tegmina; however, in P. adeps this character is variable, generally there are three, but some specimens may have two or four. The fastigium of vertex of P. shoutedeni is ca. two times as large as the first antennal segment (Fig. 14 C), while in most P. adeps it is three times as large as the first antennal segment (Fig. 14 D); however, this character may be also variable and some specimens of P. adeps may present a fastigium less large. Also the ovipositor of the two species resulted very similar (Figs 14 E, 14 F). For these reasons it is here that a new synonymy is proposed: Plangiopsis shoutedeni Griffini, 1908 = Plangiopsis adeps Karsch, 1896.	en	Massa, Bruno (2017): New genera, species and records of Afrotropical Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) preserved at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Bruxelles.

039CF14DFFA5FFE0FF30C846B8E6F9CC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. According to Carl (1914, translated from Latin), who described the female of M. modesta, it differs from M. picta by its smaller size (body length: 16.0; length of tegmina: 39.0; width of tegmina: 7.5; length of fore femora: 8.0; length of hind femora: 26.0 mm), colour slightly variegated, pronotum lobes higher than long, and ovipositor less up-curved. Concerning the colour of M. modesta, the pronotum is ochreous, with one-colored metazona, posterior margin of pronotum blackish, posterior margin of tegmina brown, absence of black rings on legs and upper fore tibiae darkish. The male above listed of M. paulyi n. sp. is of a larger size than the male of M. picta (see above measurements of this species) and the female of M. modesta, has much longer and wider tegmina than the male and the female of M. picta and the female of M. modesta, has the anterior margin of tegmina black, tegmina yellow with brown wide spots. Thus, differences may allow to exclude the possibility that it might be the male of M. modesta. Differences from the other known species M. modesta Carl, 1914, M. picta Carl, 1914 and M. spinicercata Massa, 2017 are based on the colour and shape of tegmina, but mostly (at least for M. picta and M. spinicercata, of which males are known) by the shape of last tergite and cerci.	en	Massa, Bruno (2017): New genera, species and records of Afrotropical Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) preserved at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Bruxelles.

039CF14DFFA5FFE5FF30CFC5B9D0F9FC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species is only known from the holotype, a male collected at Lubumbashi (Democratic Republic of Congo), and currently is the sole representative of the genus (Massa 2015). The two specimens listed above concur well with the description of this peculiar taxon, including its very narrow anterior part of the pronotum (see measurements), after which the Latin name of the genus. Concerning the position of cerci, in the holotype are reported below the subgenital plate, but supposedly artificial in the mounted specimen. Actually the insect holds the cerci otherwise, above the subgenital plate. Cerci are very distinctive: their tip is black and chitinous, with the shape of a small spoon (Figs 16 A, 16 B). The stridulatory file, still not described, is 1.6 mm long, nearly straight, and consists of ca. 45 evenly spaced teeth (Fig. 16 C).	en	Massa, Bruno (2017): New genera, species and records of Afrotropical Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) preserved at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Bruxelles.

039CF14DFFA0FFEBFF30CFD5BA92FE13.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This genus is vaguely similar to Goetia Karsch, 1891; differences are mainly on the shape of the fastigium of vertex, pronotum, and the open inner tympanum on fore tibiae. It is not easy to place Pseudogoetia into a tribe. In Table 1 there are listed the main characters of 5 genera, including this one. It should very probably belong to Phaneropterini, but one character (upper margin of fore tibia not furrowed) is not shared with other genera of this tribe, while it is found in the newly described Madagascar genus Madagascarantia (Massa 2017 a). It is interesting to highlight that this is a rare character, found mainly in the Madagascar genera.	en	Massa, Bruno (2017): New genera, species and records of Afrotropical Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) preserved at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Bruxelles.
