Phaneropteridae
The Phaneropterinae, the sickle-bearing bush crickets or leaf katydids, are a subfamily of insects within the family Tettigoniidae. Nearly 2,060 species in 85 genera throughout the world are known. They are also known as false katydids or round-headed katydids. The name Phaneropterinae is based upon the Old World genus ''Phaneroptera'' (type species ''Phaneroptera falcata, P. falcata''), meaning "visible wing"; this refers to the exposed tips of the inner wings seen in many species, although some genera, notably in the tribes Barbitistini and Odonturini have become brachypterous. Description The legs of individuals in this subfamily vary from genus to genus, but, as in nearly all Orthoptera, the posterior (rear) legs are adapted to leaping, and as such are always much longer than other legs. The Phaneropterinae are largely arboreal in habitat. The vast majority of species live in shrubs and trees, feeding on leaves and twigs. Some species might potentially cause significant dam ...

Phaneroptera Nana
''Phaneroptera nana'', common name southern sickle bush-cricket, is a species in the family Tettigoniidae and subfamily Phaneropterinae.Eades D.C., Otte D., Naskrecki P.Orthoptera Species File Online/ref> It has become an invasive species in California where it may be called the Mediterranean katydid. Distribution and habitat This bush cricket is native to mainland Europe, the Near East and North Africa. The Indo-Malayan species ''Phaneropera subcarinata'', classified by BolĂ­var, is morphologically similar to ''P. nana,'' and was classified under the ''P. nana'' name by Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl. As an invasive species, it has spread to the San Francisco Bay Area and may be widespread in the Los Angeles Basin, with records of its presence in California dating from at least 1952. In addition, it has been recorded in South America and hypothesized in the Annals of Carnegie Museum ''Annals of Carnegie Museum'' is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Carnegie Museum ...

In Afrikaans they are generally known as ''krompokkels'', roughly meaning "little fat hunchbacks"; this name refers to their arched dorsal profile. The genus is indigenous to Sub-Saharan Africa. It includes the following species: * '' Plangia albolineata'' * '' Plangia deminuta'' * '' Plangia compressa'' * '' Plangia graminea'' * '' Plangia guttatipennis'' * '' Plangia karschi'' * '' Plangia laminifera'' * '' Plangia nebulosa'' * '' Plangia ovalifolia'' * '' Plangia segonoides'' * '' Plangia unimaculata'' * '' Plangia venata'' * '' Plangia villiersi'' Description Typical ''Plangia'' species are moderate-sized katydids, fairly effective green leaf mimics, that lay their fairly large, flattened oval eggs under bark, or in individual incisions in the edges of leaves of their food plants. They make the incisions into the leaf parenchyma, between, and parallel to, the dorsal a ...
