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.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039CF14DFFB7FFF2FF30CFD2BC88F868	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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 .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039CF14DFFB7FFF2FF30CBF2BB97FC6A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is an atypical Dithela, characterized by the presence of 1 spur on the dorsal fore tibiae, 2 spurs on dorsal mid tibiae, tegmina clearly shorter than hind wings, cerci pointed and up-curved, subgenital plate long, narrow with two parallel lobes, apically divergent.</p><p>Description of the male (Fig. 2A). 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. 2B).

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.</p><p>Characters of male.

Democratic Republic of Congo, Kinchassa (2♂ of different species) (RBINS).</p><p>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 (2017b), who obtained a series of males and females collected together.</p><p>Characters of the species cited by Griffini (1908) are the following.</p><p>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 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5E).</p><p>Species 2. The stridulatory file is curved and consists of ca. 90 evenly spaced teeth. The anal segment is attenuated from the base to the apex and ends with two parallel, rather broad, short and down-curved apices. Cerci are long and fine, incurved and pointed.

Cerci of the latter species (Fig. 11A) are quite similar to those of M. rubricornis (Fig. 11B) and M. hamuligera (Fig. 11C), 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 10D with 10A, 10B, 10C). In addition, the shape of the male subgenital plate (Figs 12A–12D) and of the stridulatory file (Figs 13A–13D) allow to tell apart them. M. spathulifera is also characterized by the presence of small grey dots on tegmina.</p><p>Distribution.

Rohde (♀ holotype) (RBINS) .</p><p>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 14A, 14B). 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. 14C), while in most P. adeps it is three times as large as the first antennal segment (Fig. 14D); 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 14E, 14F). For these reasons it is here that a new synonymy is proposed: Plangiopsis shoutedeni Griffini, 1908 = Plangiopsis adeps Karsch, 1896 .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039CF14DFFA4FFE1FF30C9F6B9D0FC4B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Madagascar, Manakambahiny, A. Pauly (♂ holotype) (RBINS).</p><p>Measurements. Male. Body length: 25.0; length of pronotum: 4.7; height of pronotum 4.0; length of tegmina: 45.6; width of tegmina: 12.1; length of fore femora: 7.7; length of hind femora: 24.1; length of hind tibiae: 28.0.</p><p>Diagnosis. Mimoscudderia paulyi n. sp. is characterized by larger size and wider tegmina than congeneric species; additionally it has a modified 10th tergite and a long and up-curved subgenital plate.</p><p>Description of the male (Figs 15B, 15E, 15F, 15H). Species of large size. Colour. Anterior margin of tegmina black, tegmina yellow with brown wide spots. Fastigium of vertex narrow, furrowed above, clearly separated by fastigium of frons. Eyes just semi-spherical, well projecting, without fronto-genal carinae below them. Legs comparatively long. Fore coxae armed with a small spine. Fore tibiae furrowed superiorly, distinctly widening above tympanum, which is open on both sides. Fore femora armed with 8 inner ventral spines, mid tibiae with 9 spines on outer ventral margin and unarmed inner ventral margin, hind femora armed ventrally with 7 spines on inner and 9 on outer margins, hind tibiae with many spines on ventral and dorsal margins + 3 spurs on each side. All femora with armed genicular lobes. Pronotum narrowing anteriorly, flat above, anterior margin straight, posterior margin just rounded, humeral sinus evident, lobes of pronotum rounded and short. Tegmina widened with rounded apices. Wings just as long as tegmina. Stridulatory area of left tegmen short, stridulatory file curved and consisting of ca. 80 teeth, proximal higher and distal smaller (Fig. 15H). 10th tergite modified, consisting of a double bulge with a wide concavity, where the subgenital plate is inserted. Cerci stout, straight, with a small inner apical spine. Subgenital plate very long, narrow and up-curved to the concavity of the 10th tergite, styli absent (Figs 15B, 15E, 15F).</p><p>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.</p><p>Etymology. This species is named after Alain Pauly (Directorate Taxonomy and Phylogeny, Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Bruxelles), who collected many interesting Orthoptera in Gabon and Madagascar, now preserved at the RBINS.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039CF14DFFA5FFE0FF30C846B8E6F9CC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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.</p><p>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 16A, 16B). The stridulatory file, still not described, is 1.6 mm long, nearly straight, and consists of ca. 45 evenly spaced teeth (Fig. 16C).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039CF14DFFA5FFE5FF30CFC5B9D0F9FC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Large size, short head, wide round eyes, fastigium verticis short, of the same size of the scapus of antennae, prozona hardly narrower than metazona of pronotum; anterior margin of pronotum slightly rounded, posterior margin rounded, with evident lateral excisions. Tegmina wider than pronotum length, with the apical margins obliquely cut; hind wings longer than tegmina. Fore coxae armed. Dorsal margin of fore tibiae round (not furrowed). Tympanum of fore tibiae open on inner and on outer side. Fore femora with spines on ventral margins, ventral margins of hind femora armed. Hind tibiae furrowed, longer than the femora.

Subgenital plate of the male narrow, three-keeled, with the posterior margin concave and with styli.</p><p>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 2017a) . It is interesting to highlight that this is a rare character, found mainly in the Madagascar genera.</p><p>Etymology.
