Diversity of leaf katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae) of Dzanga-Ndoki National Park, Central African Republic, with selected records from other African countries.
Forty-four species of Phaneropterinae are recorded from Dzanga-Ndoki
National Park in the Central African Republic. Eight species collected within
the park are described as new to science: Phlaurocentrum morettoi n. sp., P.
paratuberosum n. sp., P. elegans n. sp., Myllocentrum raggei n. sp., Poreuomena
sanghensis n. sp., Cestromoecha longicerca n. sp., C. magnicerca n. sp., and
Goetia purpurea n. sp. An additional new species from Guinea is described
from specimens preserved in the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales of
Madrid, Poreuomena huxleyi n. sp. Eurycorypha stylata St\ue5l, 1873 is recorded for
the first time from Burkina Faso and Brycoptera lobata Ragge, 1981 from Ivory
Coast. The following synonyms are established: Enochletica affinis Bol\uedvar,
1906 is synonymized with Enochletica ostentatrix Karsch, 1896, Poreuomena
gladiator Bol\uedvar, 1906 is synonymized with Poreuomena forcipata Sj\uf6stedt,
1902, and Azamia doriae (Griffini, 1906) is synonymized with Azamia biplagiata
Bol\uedvar, 1906. In addition, morphological characters of previously unknown
females of Phaneroptera maculosa Ragge, 1956 and Eurycorypha canaliculata
Karsch, 1890, and males of Myllocentrum stigmosum (Karsch, 1896) and
Cestromoecha crassipes (Karsch, 1890) are described. The presence of titillators
in four African genera (Gelotopoia, Brycoptera, Phlaurocentrum and Azamia)
is recorded for the first time. In the genus Zeuneria, a sub-equally bilobed,
dorsally curved, dorso-lateral abdominal appendage is described for the
first time. This new structure apparently delimits an abdominal gland of
unknown function on the second tergite
