Pterolepis (bush Cricket)
''Pterolepis'' is a genus of Tettigoniidae, bush crickets in the subfamily Tettigoniinae and Tribe (biology), tribe Platycleidini erected by Jules Pierre Rambur in 1838.Rambur JP (1838) ''Faune entomologique de l'Andalousie'' 2: 59. The known distribution is from North Africa and the Iberian peninsula. Species The ''Orthoptera Species File'' lists the following accepted species: # ''Pterolepis adolphorum'' (Galvagni, 1988) # ''Pterolepis algerica'' (Uvarov, 1935) # ''Pterolepis augustini'' (Galvagni, 2001) # ''Pterolepis berberica'' (Galvagni, 1989) # ''Pterolepis bidens'' (Uvarov, 1924) # ''Pterolepis claudiae'' (Galvagni, 1988) # ''Pterolepis cordubensis'' Bolívar, 1900 # ''Pterolepis elymica'' Galvagni & Massa, 1980 # ''Pterolepis galitana'' (Uvarov, 1942) # ''Pterolepis gessardi'' Bonnet, 1886 # ''Pterolepis grallata'' (Pantel, 1886) # ''Pterolepis kabylica'' (Galvagni & Fontana, 2000) # ''Pterolepis korsakovi'' (Uvarov, 1942) # ''Pterolepis lagrecai'' (Fontana & Ma ...

Tettigoniidae
Insects in the family Tettigoniidae are commonly called katydids (especially in North America), or bush crickets. They have previously been known as "long-horned grasshoppers". More than 8,000 species are known. Part of the suborder Ensifera, the Tettigoniidae are the only extant (living) family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea. They are primarily nocturnal in habit with strident mating calls. Many species exhibit mimicry and camouflage, commonly with shapes and colors similar to leaves. Etymology The family name Tettigoniidae is derived from the genus ''Tettigonia'', first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. In Latin ''tettigonia'' means a kind of small cicada, leafhopper; it is from the Greek τεττιγόνιον ''tettigonion'', the diminutive of the imitative ( onomatopoeic) τέττιξ, ''tettix'', cicada. All of these names such as ''tettix'' with repeated sounds are onomatopoeic, imitating the stridulation of these insects. The common name ''katydid'' is also onomat ...

Platycleidini
The Tettigoniinae are a subfamily of bush crickets or katydids, which contains hundreds of species in about twelve tribes. Distribution The greatest diversity is in the Palaearctic region and many of the familiar European species of bush crickets (''e.g.'' in the genera ''Metrioptera, Pholidoptera, Platycleis'' and the type genus ''Tettigonia'') are in this subfamily. They are attributed to an ancient Gondwana fauna, which is reflected in the known distribution of the southern African genera, which are in turn related to Australian and North American genera in the tribe Nedubini (''e.g. Neduba'' and '' Aglaothorax''). Extant genera are native to: the Americas (where they may be called shield-backed katydids), Australia, southern Africa, Europe (especially Mediterranean), and the Near East. The faunas of the Neotropics and Australia are more closely related to one other than to those of southern Africa and Madagascar (in tribe Arytropteridini), although the three faunas are rela ...
