The subfamily Pseudophyllinae contains numerous species in the family Tettigoniidae, the katydids or bush crickets. Sometimes called "true katydids",[ citation needed] together with the crickets of suborder Ensifera, they form part of the insect order Orthoptera which also contains grasshoppers.
Members of the group are noted for their remarkable camouflage. Many species closely resemble fresh or dried leaves, including veins, various blotches and even bite marks. [1]
The Pseudophyllinae may be subdivided into the following tribes (the first 17 of which are sometimes grouped into the super-tribes: Pleminiiti and Pseudophylliti) and genera. [2] Some notable species are also listed here:
Auth.: (Brunner von Wattenwyl 1895) - Chile
Auth.: (Brunner von Wattenwyl 1895) - Madagascar
Auth.: (Gorochov 1990) - Asia: including India, Indo-China and the Philippines
Auth.: (Brunner von Wattenwyl 1895) - Central and southern America
Auth.: (Brunner von Wattenwyl 1895) - Central Africa and Asia: including India, Indo-China, Malesia and the Philippines
Auth.: Beier 1960 - Central and South America
Auth.: (Otte, D. 1997) - Southern America
Auth.: (Beier 1960) - Southern America
Auth.: (Beier 1960) - Southern America
Auth.: (Brunner von Wattenwyl 1895) - Central Africa
Auth.: Bolívar, 1903 - sometimes placed in the Mecopodinae (Eastern Australia)
Auth.: (Brunner von Wattenwyl 1895) - West and central Africa; Australasia: India through to Pacific islands
Auth.: (Brunner von Wattenwyl 1895) - Southern America
Auth.: (Brunner von Wattenwyl 1895) - Central and southern America, West and central Africa
Auth.: (Brunner von Wattenwyl 1895) - Mexico, Caribbean, Southern America
Auth.: (Burmeister 1838) - West and central Africa; Asia: India, Indo-China through to Papua New Guinea
Auth.: (Karny, 1925) – Americas
Auth.: (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1895) - Madagascar, Australia
Auth.: (Beier, 1960) - Panama to Southern America
Due to the great diversity of this subfamily, it is not unequivocally delimited yet.
