New and little known taxa of the genus Calopsyra Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1891 (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae) from Indo-Malayan Region

A new material on the Indo-Malayan genus Сalopsyra Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1891 from the tribe Holochlorini is reviewed. This genus is divided into three subgenera: Calopsyra s. str., Parapsyra Carl, 1914, stat. n. (previously considered as a distinct genus) and Rhodopsyra subgen. n. Eight new combinations are proposed: C. (P.) notabilis (Carl, 1914), comb. n., C. (P.) nigrovittata (Xia et Liu, 1992), comb. n., C. (P.) midcarina (Liu et Kang, 2006), comb. n., C. (P.) nigrocornis (Liu et Kang, 2006), comb. n., C. (P.) fuscomarginalis (Liu et Kang, 2006), comb. n., C. (P.) brevicauda (Liu, 2011), comb. n., С. (Rh.) muricetincta (Karny, 1926), comb. n., C. (Rh.) laticauda (Karny, 1926), comb. n. Two new species from Borneo and Sumatra are described: C. (C.) sexmaculata sp. n. and C. (Rh.) roseoalata sp. n. The neotype for C. (C.) octomaculata (Westwood, 1848) is designated, and this species is redescribed in accordance with new data

New taxa of the subfamily Phaneropterinae (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) from Africa: the tribes Otiaphysini and Preussiini

Te new material on the following African genera of the subfamily Phaneropterinae is considered: Drepanophyllum Karsch, 1890 and Tetraconcha Karsch, 1890 belonging to the tribe Otiaphysini; Enochletica Karsch, 1896 and Weissenbornia Karsch, 1888 belonging to the tribe Preussiini. Four new species and two new subspecies are described: Drepanophyllum irisovi sp. n. (Cameroon), Drepanophyllum corrosifolium ugandense subsp. n. (Uganda), Tetraconcha bicolor sp. n. (Uganda), Tetraconcha unicolor sp. n. (Uganda), Enochletica simulata sp. n. (Uganda), and Weissenbornia praestantissima aurea subsp. n. (Uganda). All these species and subspecies are distinguished from each other and from all other representatives of the genera studied by the structure and colouration of their tegmina, as well as by some features of the stridulatory vein teeth, the shape of the male cerci and/or the structure of the male genital plate

The first record of the invasive cricket species Velarifictorus micado (Saussure, 1877) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Gryllinae) for Transcaucasia (Georgia)

A few crickets specimens collected in Georgia turned out to belong to the genus Velarifictorus Randell, 1964 and to the species micado, which is widely distributed in East Asia. The species is common in urban surroundings in Japan, China and Korean Peninsula, known in the South of Russian Far East and in some countries of South-East Asia. Velarifictorus micado is known for its expansion potential; it has invaded a large part of the United States of America after introduction in 1959. The species has not been observed in Europe so far, but now it is recorded for the first time in Georgia. Invasion of adherent Turkish and Russian lowland territory is to be expected. Consequences of the introduction are debated
