However, several authors preferred to maintain  Roeseliana as subgenus of the genus  Metrioptera Wesmael, 1838 . More recently, Massa &amp; Fontana (2011) carried out a revision of  Platycleidini and raised again  Roeseliana to generic level. According to previous authors (Zeuner 1941; Massa &amp; Fontana 2011), these are the characters of the genus: head slightly broader than long, ratio maximum width/length of head (from vertex to clipeus): 1.2–1.3. Brachypterous, rarely holopterous, pronotum flat, just depressed, margins rounded, humeral excision just evident, keel present in the metazona; ♀ subgenital plate large, bilobate, at the sides not touching the ovipositor; ovipositor short and clearly curved, somewhat angular at 1/3 from the base; ♀ VIIth sternite modified or not; hind femora/pronotum length ♁: 2.7–3.5, ♀: 2.7–3.6; ♁ Xth tergite with very broad processes separated by an incision, long cylindrical cerci, with a pre-apical inner spine. Colour of lateral lobes of the pronotum greyish bordered with a whitish stripe.</p><p>Diagnosis. Tenth tergite of male with very broad anal segment, rounded cerci and short ovipositor are useful characters to separate  Roeseliana from  Metrioptera and Bicolorana Zeuner, 1941; with the latter  Roeseliana shares the female subgenital plate not touching the ovipositor.</p><p>Ovipositor— Figs. 1–2, Table 2</p><p>The shape of the ovipositor is fairly variable, but we could find taxa/populations with fine ovipositor ( R. pylnovi,  R. roeselii,  R. azami minor from Lombardy, Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna,  R. ambitiosa), and those with deeper ovipositor ( R. azami,  R. azami minor from Tuscany and Marche,  R. brunneri and  R. bispina). However, the ovipositor angle resulted also variable in the different taxa/populations, smaller in  R. pylnovi,  R. oporina,  R. azami,  R. azami minor from Lombardy, Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany,  R. brunneri and  R. bispina, bigger in others, namely  R. roeselii,  R. azami minor from Marche and  R. ambitiosa .</p><p>Stridulatory file— Fig. 3, Table 2</p><p>We describe preliminary the stridulatory file of different taxa/populations, that are very similar in their structure (Fig. 3). The length is ca. 1.2 mm, while the depth may range from 0.20 to 0.35 mm. Stridulatory file is a little arched, the total number of teeth ranges between 40 and 80 ( R. brunneri: ca. 70–80 with 15 central larger;  R. azami minor from Tuscany: ca. 50 with 15 central larger;  R. azami minor from Piedmont: ca. 40, with 15 central larger;  R. azami: ca. 45, more or less of the same size;  R. roeselii: ca. 50, with 12–13 central larger teeth;  R. ambitiosa: ca. 50 with at least 40 teeth of more or less the same size and a few very small teeth in the proximal part;  R. bispina: ca. 60, more or less of the same size;  R. pylnovi: ca. 50, with 12–13 central larger). Generally, the stridulatory file in its proximal part bears very small teeth (about 15–20), dense, decreasing in size and evenly spaced, the central part is composed of ca. 12–15 widely spaced larger teeth (with some exceptions, like in  R. azami,  R. bispina and  R. ambitiosa), the distal part is composed of about 8–10 very small teeth. The differences are noted in Table 2.</p><p>Female subgenital plate— Figs. 8, 9, Table 2</p><p>The ratio length to width of the female subgenital plate resulted to be maximum in  R. pylnovi (2.8), followed by that of  R. roeselii (2.0–2.1),  R. azami minor from Marche (2.1–2.2),  R. oporina (1.8),  R. azami minor from Lombardy, Piedmont and Emilia–Romagna (1.8–2.2),  R. brunneri (1.7–1.9),  R. azami (1.7),  R. azami minor from Tuscany (1.7),  R. bispina (1.7) and  R. ambitiosa (1.5). However, other differences in the shape of the apical tips of the subgenital plate are evident.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03802C42FF8AFD3DFF33F3AD99ABF84E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However,  R. roeselii occurs with holopterous males and females with a variable frequency, mainly in the north of its distribution; e.g., Szanyi et al. (2014) found a high frequency (≤ 53%) of holopterous individuals of  R. roeselii in some meadows surrounded by forests of Hungary.</p><p>R. roeselii is the most easily diagnosable species from a morphological point of view. It is the only species with titillators without arched tips with small apical spines and a narrow male supragenital plate (Figs. 5i–5j, 6b); in addition, the female subgenital plate is very deeply incised with two sharp apices (Fig. 8b; see also Ĝtz 1969). Male cerci and female subgenital plate are more similar to those of  R. pylnovi than to those of south European taxa. In particular the shape of cerci shows a long apically pointed part and an inner backwards and pointed spine (Fig. 6b). The south European taxa of  Roeseliana differ clearly from  R. roeselii . According to Heller (1988),  R. fedtschenkoi is synonymous with  R. roeselii . See also  R. fedtschenkoi . However, according to Heller et al. (1998) while the South European forms formerly included in  Metrioptera fedtschenkoi belong to  R. roeselii, this may be not true for all of the South East European and especially the Caucasian and central Asian forms. However, most authors agree with the validity of the two taxa  R. fedtschenkoi and  R. roeselii and consider both polytypic species. We were able to examine only the photos of the syntype of  R. fedtschenkoi, and we found that the latter is different from  R. roeselii . However, authors who have cited  R. fedtschenkoi really examined specimens collected in countries different from the typical area of the species (Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan) and this may be the reason of some misinterpretation. For characters of  R. roeselii see also Tables 2 and 3.</p><p>Distribution. Wide areas of the Palaearctic region (Galvagni 2001); it has been introduced in Canada, Montreal and Ville St. Laurent in 1950; since then its range has increased in Ontario and Quebec, and into the United States as far as Illinois (Vickery et al. 1975, Capinera et al. 2004), where now it is rather frequent. It also has spread in North Europe; according to Kaňuch et al. (2013), due to the limited ability of  R. roeselii to cross geographical barriers through active dispersal, it is very much probable that transport of eggs potentially occurred with agricultural products, and consequently at least some of the isolated populations originated from human-mediated introductions rather than natural dispersal. It is present from lowland to high elevations.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03802C42FF88FD32FF33F79C9B84F832	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Mém. Soc. Sci. nat. Antrop. Ethnogr. Univ. Moscou, 11: 45 ( Decticus (Platycleis) fedtschenkoi); type locality and depository: Uzbekistan,  Maracanclam et prope Bairakum ad flumen Jaxartem (Samarkand, Syr Daria) (syntypus, ZMUM)  .</p><p>Found near Samarkand on June 8, 1869 (larva) and May 17, 1871 in Bayrakum.</p><p>Brown-green or yellowish-green color. The head is wide, smooth; the top of vertex is broad and blunt, on its sides above the eyes there is a horizontal brown stripe, separated or bordered by a yellowish line, extending from the eyes; vertex is decorated with three pale longitudinal lines, from which the lateral lines follow the edges of the brown stripes. The antennae are dark, green at the base. Mesothorax width the same as its length; the upper surface of mesothorax is wide, flat, slightly convex at the front end, slightly concave in the middle; the middle lobe is very weakly expressed, the lateral lobes are blunt; the rear edge is cut off, slightly turned upwards; the folded edge comes onto the lateral lobes of pronotum; the latter is bordered by a whitish stripe and decorated with irregular brown spots (or the area along the lobes and along the edges of the lobes is brown); rear part of side lobes of pronotum is blunt cut.</p><p>The colour is green-brown or yellow-green. The head is broad and smooth; the apex of the head is broad and obtuse; on the sides, above the eyes, there is a horizontal brown stripe which divides a yellowish stripe or surrounds it, there are three pale lines running along the brown stripe, of these, the lateral ones reach the ends of the brown stripe. Width of the front part of the thorax equal to the length; the upper surface is broad and flat, slightly convex in the fore margin and slightly concave in the middle; the lobe of the middle is not very pronounced, the lateral lobes are a little obtuse, the hind edge is truncated, slightly raised; this raised edge joins with the lateral keels; in the anterior part of the pronotum there is a pale line with irregular brown flecks; the posterior edge of the lateral keels is cut obtusely at the point where they go towards the posterior side of the anterior part of the pronotum.</p><p>Tegmina red-yellow, rounded at the apex, cover the entire abdomen except its three posterior segments; the veins of the elytra are brown, with the exception of a green “shoulder” vein, which is arcuately curved and gives five brown branches near its middle. The tympanum is poorly developed, the stridulatory file is poorly developed and is covered in the anterior part by the pronotum; the mirror is not closed, it has only the outer vein. The wings are rudimentary.</p><p>The legs and body are concolourous. The hind femora are adorned with a longitudinal brown stripe. The ventral side of abdomen is pale. The supra-anal plate is incised with an oblong impression in the form of A on its surface; this depression is narrow, rounded-blunt at the apex, surrounded by hairs, has prominent sharp edges; the supra-anal plate is deeply incised at the apex. This notch has almost the same shape as the depression on the surface of the plate; the corners of the edges of the notch continue into triangular tongue-like spines. The cerci are long, somewhat protruding from the stylet-like processes of the subgenital plate; on their apical third, they are each armed with one sausage-like process, which apex is black. The subgenital plate is large, with an impression at its base, equipped with three strongly developed ribs, rounded at the free edge and incised in the form of V. The cerci are long, a little protruding from the plate cavity, in the distal third there is a black spine.</p><p>Remarks. Saussure (1874) wrote that tegmina cover the entire abdomen, excluding three posterior segments, tegmina of the syntypes cover only one third of abdomen (Fig. 10). In addition, Saussure (1874) compared the species with  Platycleis brevipennis (Charpentier, 1825) (currently synonym of  R. roeselii), pointing out that  R. fedtschenkoi is larger, has shorter tegmina, supra-anal plate of different shape and less developed tympanum. Later, Stshelkanovtzev (1907) recorded another male from Sossyur (Turkmenistan) and described the female from Lake Balkhash (Turkmenistan), pointing out that it was similar to  R. roeselii, with tegmina apex less obtuse, shorter ovipositor, bigger size, but the subgenital plate very similar to that of  R. roeselii .</p><p>Thanks to the kindness of A. Gorochov, O. Korsunovskaya, V. Savitsky, and A. Ozerov we were able to examine the photo of the supra-anal plate of the syntype (Figs. 6e, 10), finding that it is very similar to that of  R. pylnovi, including the male titillators, apically hooked, but different from  R. roeselii, whose titillators are differently shaped.</p><p>All authors agree with the validity of this taxon, with the exception of Heller (1988), who has considered it synonymous with  R. roeselii (see above,  R. roeselii). Tarbinsky (1932) considered  R. pylnovi synonym of  R. fedtschenkoi; indeed, in many museums there are specimens from Caucasian area identified as  R. fedtschenkoi . According to Ĝtz (1969),  R. fedtschenkoi ( vasilii included),  R. pylnovi,  R. ambitiosa,  R. azami, and  R. minor constitute a ‘Rassenkreis’, a ring of neighbouring populations that exhibit a pattern of geographical replacement of one type by another. However, he treated  vasilii,  pylnovi,  ambitiosa,  minor and  azami as subspecies of  fedtschenkoi, without having studied specimens of true  R. fedtschenkoi . Stolyarov (2005) followed the same arrangement. More recently, Chobanov &amp; Mihajlova (2010) and Iorgu et al. (2013) treated  R. fedtschenkoi as a subspecies of  R. roeselii . See  R. roeselii, Tables 2 and 4. The song of  R. fedtschenkoi is presently unknown.</p><p>Distribution. This species has been described from Uzbekistan, later it was collected in Turkmenistan, and probably it is restricted to the East Asia, while in West Asia and North Europe it is replaced by  R. pylnovi and  R. roeselii . According to Stolyarov (2005) it should be present also in Azerbaijan, Dashkesan, but specimens from this country could eventually belong to  R. pylnovi .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03802C42FF84FD37FF33F1EC9ACDFE33	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Described in the genus  Metrioptera by Uvarov (1924), it was transferred to the genus  Roeseliana by Zeuner (1941). Following Tarbinsky (1932) it is synonymous with  R. fedtschenkoi, but Zeuner (1941) listed it as valid species. Ramme (1951) considered  R. pylnovi and  R. fedtschenkoi different taxa, with different shape of wings. Ĝtz (1969) pointed out that the subgenital plate of female is more incised than that of  R. fedtschenkoi, but he did not list specimens of the latter species.</p><p>It seems that  R. pylnovi is much related to  R. fedtschenkoi and  R. roeselii . However, titillators are different from those of  R. roeselii (Fig. 6). Instead, the supra-anal plate and cerci of the male are a slightly similar to those of  R. roeselii (Fig. 6d), however, differences may be detected with the female subgenital plate, which in  R. roeselii is laterally more rounded (Figs. 8a and 8b).

R. azami is characterized by the incision of the female subgenital plate. Nadig (1961), Harz (1969) and Massa et al. (2012) considered  R. azami the nominate subspecies with  minor as other subspecies, while Ĝtz (1969) moved it to subspecies of  R. fedtschenkoi, Defaut (1999, 2001) followed Ĝtz’s opinion, Puissant &amp; Voisin (1999), Voisin (2003) and Massa &amp; Fontana (2011) considered it as a valid species.</p><p>Male titillators have only few large spines in their half apical apex and their tip is less curved and stouter than that of  R. azami minor and  R. brunneri (Figs. 5e, 5f), the supragenital plate and the cerci of the male and the subgenital plate of the female are reported in Figs. 7e and 8c. The 10 th tergite of the male has a very long, broad and triangular processes (in  R. brunneri processes are very large and separated by a wide incision), tooth of cerci short, rounded and placed in the last fourth (as in  R. brunneri; in  R. roeselii they are longer, placed in the last third and are more pointed); titillators of  R. azami are similar to those of  R. brunneri (folded as a hook), while those of  R. roeselii show a very different shape (straight with apical spines) (cf. Fig. 5); in addition, the female subgenital plate of  R. azami is as large as long, incised for half the length and its lobes are rounded (similarly to that of  R. brunneri), while that of  R. roeselii is laterally enlarged and its lobes are pointed (cf. also Massa &amp; Fontana 2011).

R. azami minor and  R. azami are characterized by cut female subgenital plate. Nadig (1961) described it as subspecies of  R. azami, followed by Harz (1969), Fontana et al. (2002), Coray (2004) and Massa et al. (2012). Others (Ĝtz 1969, Canestrelli 1981, Nadig 1987, Coray &amp; Thorens 2001, Roesti &amp; Keist 2009) have considered it a subspecies of  R. fedtschenkoi, while differences are evident in the comparative descriptions of both taxa. More recently, Iorio et al. (2019) listed it as a valid species.</p><p>This taxon is brachypterous, but some rare fully-winged males and females may be found (Table 2). Male titillators are similar to those of  R. azami, but they appear slender and more curved; the female subgenital plate differs very little from that of  R. azami . In addition, biometrical differences allow to separate it from  R. azami (see paragraph on biometrics).</p><p>Distribution. Domenichini (1955) recorded ‘  Metrioptera azami ’ (certainly referring to  R. azami minor) in aquatic meadows between Sesia and Oglio rivers (Lombardy, Italy) and considered it widespread in Lombardy and Piedmont. In addition, he wrote that the specimens of  M. roeselii quoted by Griffini (1893) from Paludi di Stura, Avigliana, Boves and Torino had also to be referred to ‘  Metrioptera azami ’ (see also Galvagni 2001); records of  Platycleis roeselii by Bezzi (1891) from Pavia certainly have to be referred to  R. azami minor . Ĝtz (1969) pointed out that this taxon lives in valleys with rivers. Nadig (1961, 1987, 1991) recorded it from Piedmont and Lombardy (Italy). Some Piedmont and Lombardy localities are reported by Fontana et al. (2002). Bardiani &amp; Buzzetti (2010) recorded  R. azami from Liguria, but likely it belongs to  R. azami minor; indeed, some findings from Liguria, Piedmont and Aosta Valley are reported by Sindaco et al. (2012). Its habitats are humid zones as well uncultivated meadows. See also Tables 2 and 4.</p><p>Remarks on Italian populations from Northern Italy, Marche and Tuscany. These populations show some morphological and biometrical differences from each other, but very probably other populations live in intermediate regions.</p><p>Northern Italy population (Lombardy, Piedmont and Emilia Romagna). Males of this population have only small spines at the apex of titillators and the female subgenital plate is similar to that of  R. brunneri . The locality where this population was found lies ca. 100 kms far from the nearest site of  R. brunneri, 214 from that of  Roeseliana of Tuscany, 242 from that of  Roeseliana of Marche, and ca. 50 from Lombardy known sites of  R. azami minor .</p><p>Marche population. Like the case of the population of Tuscany, that of Marche has male titillators similar to those of  R. brunneri (but with more numerous spines), while the female subgenital plate is very similar to that of  R. azami minor . Only one fully-winged female has been found to the present. Also, biometrics show differences of this population from the above cited taxa. Localities where this taxon was found are ca. 230 kms far from the nearest site of  R. brunneri, 160 from that of  Roeseliana of Tuscany, and ca. 290 from sites of  R. azami minor of Lombardy.</p><p>Tuscany population. Male titillators have spines from their base to the apex, similarly to  R. brunneri, but the female subgenital plate is similar to that of  R. azami minor . Biometrics show some differences from other populations, very probably depending on their isolation. Actually, the Tuscany population is known only from Lake Accesa, ca. 160 kms from the site of  Roeseliana in Marche region, and ca. 230 kms from the nearest site of  R. azami minor of Lombardy.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03802C42FF82FD35FF33F265992AF88F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Fontana).</p><p>Remarks. According to Ramme (1951)  R. ambitiosa and  R. pylnovi are very similar, but they differ in the size, male cerci shape and female subgenital plate. Nadig (1961) considered that  R. ambitiosa and  R. pylnovi show a high variability in the years, probably depending on humidity and temperature. Ĝtz (1969) highlighted that the width of the eye in this species is greater than in the other  Roeseliana (♁: 4.4–5.2 vs 3.6–4.2; ♀: 5.0–5.8 vs 4.0–5.1). He also found some variability in Bulgaria; in the eastern part of this country he found a remarkable expansion of this species. Heller (1988) considered  R. ambitiosa synonymous with  R. roeselii . Willemse &amp; Willemse (2008) and Chobanov &amp; Mihajlova (2010) listed it as  R. roeselii ambitiosa, while Massa &amp; Fontana (2011) and Willemse et al. (2018) recorded it as a valid species. However, on the base of morphological and biometrical characters the latter taxa resulted to be well separated.  R. ambitiosa has slender male titillators with variable presence of small spines at their apex, absent in some specimens (Fig. 5m); further, the male cerci are similar to those of  R. azami (Fig. 6a), and the female subgenital plate resulted to be different from that of  R. roeselii, with a shorter central concavity with lateral apices more squared (Figs. 8b, 8e).

Male. Body length: 19.5; pronotum: 6.5; tegmina: 9.5; hind femur: 17.5. Female. Body length: 24.5; pronotum: 6.5; tegmina: 7.5; hind femur: 21; ovipositor: 8.5.</p><p>Male differs from  Roeseliana oporina by the shape of cerci and of titillators, from  R. bispina by the width of the base of the apical tooth of the cerci, from  R. ambitiosa and  R. azami by the shape of titillators and the arrangement of their spines, from  R. brunneri by the shape of the last tergite. By their last tergite largely indented with narrow and pointed lobes at their extremity, they are however close to  R. azami, to  R. oporina and to  R. ambitiosa . The internal tooth of the male cerci is short and placed at ¾ of the cerci, it is barely wider at its base than at the apex as  R. ambitiosa,  R. brunneri,  R. oporina and  R. azami . The shape of titillators is similar to that  R. bispina, but with a different number and arrangement of spines. The shape of the female subgenital plate is intermediate between that of  R. oporina and  R. azami but with a much shallower incision and a less pronounced central keel (Lemonnier-Darcemont &amp; Darcemont in press).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03802C42FF80FD34FF33F5939A72F85A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

R. brunneri was described by Ramme (1951) based on a single holotype female, collected by Brunner von Wattenwyl and mentioned in his Prodomus. Nadig (1961) supposed that it could be a long-winged female of  R. azami . Ĝtz (1969) considered  R. brunneri much related to  R. azami, but hypothesized also that it could be synonym of  R. ambitiosa or an endemic Italian species. Nevertheless, he considered it a subspecies of  R. fedtschenkoi . Based on comparative, partly morphometric research, also Canestrelli (1981) was not able to find taxonomic characters to separate  R. azami from  R. brunneri . Nadig (1987), after additional comparison did not hesitate to synonymize  R. brunneri with  R. azami, highlighting that the range separation of the populations in southern France and Venice could not be a reason to treat them as separate species. Later Fontana (2001) and Fontana &amp; Kleukers (2002) reinstated it as a valid species, followed by Fontana et al. (2002), Massa &amp; Fontana (2011) and Massa et al. (2012).</p><p>Massa &amp; Fontana (2011) invoked some reasons for which  R. brunneri must be considered as a valid species, not related to  R. fedtschenkoi, but eventually to ‘ azami-minor group’; now we reiterate this opinion, adding new morphological and biometrical characters (Tables 2 and 3, Figs. 7a, 9a, 9b).  R. brunneri has male titillators with spines from the base to apex (Figs. 5a, 5b) and the female subgenital plate is laterally more rounded than that of related taxa,  R. azami and  R. azami minor (Figs. 9a, 9b). However, the proposed synonymy with  R. fedtschenkoi, whose description has been unknown to most authors, is inexplicable.</p><p>The female holotype of  R. brunneri is fully-winged, but it remained the sole fully-winged specimen till now collected. See also Tables 2 and 4.</p><p>Distribution.  R. brunneri occurs only in humid zones of Venice and Chioggia lagoons (Italy, Veneto and Friuli) and Po Valley (Emilia-Romagna) (Canestrelli 1981, Fontana 2001, Buzzetti et al. 2011, Tami 2007, Tami et al. 2011, Tami &amp; Fontana 2018).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03802C42FF9FFD2BFF33F26F99CEF812	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Spain,  Uclés (lectotypus ♁) (MNCN)  .</p><p>Remarks.  R. oporina was described in  Platycleis, but Zeuner (1941) moved it to  Roeseliana; Harz (1969) listed it in  Metrioptera, subgenus  Roeseliana, Massa &amp; Fontana (2011) in  Metrioptera . Only recently  R. oporina was rediscovered and described again by Gutiérrez-Rodríguez &amp; García-París (2016), who established definitively that it is belongs to  Roeseliana . Morphological characters suggest that it is related to  R. azami, but not to  R. roeselii .  R. oporina has male titillators not much apically hooked, with only small apical spines, the female subgenital plate is similar to that of  R. azami, but male cerci are a little similar to those of  R. roeselii . The lectotype has tegmina covering the abdomen, while specimens depicted by Gutiérrez-Rodríguez &amp; García-París (2016) are more brachypterous. See also Tables 2 and 4.</p><p>Distribution.

Zeuner (1941) raised the taxon to species level within  Roeseliana . This was followed by Harz (1969) and Massa &amp; Fontana (2011). Heller (1988) considered it as synonymous with  R. roeselii and Ünal (1999, 2006, 2018) listed it as  Metrioptera (Roeseliana) bispina, recording some new localities from north Turkey.</p><p>Morphological characters (see also Table 2 and 4) allow to separate it from other eastern (like  R. fedtshenkoi,  R. pylnovi) and western taxa (like  R. brunneri,  R. azami minor and  R. azami).
