REVIEW OF AUSTRALIAN COPIPHORINI (ORTHOPTERA, TETTIGONIIDAE, CONOCEPHALINAE)

The Australian members of the tribe Copiphorini (Tettigoniidae) are reviewed and their relationship to the Indo-Pacific species clarified. The principal character used is the stridulatory file of the male. This permits clear distinction of species within the four genera Pseudorhynchus, Euconocephalus, Ruspolia and Mygalopsis. Seven new species are named: P. raggei, P. selonis, E. broughtoni, R. marshallae, M. sandowi, M. marki and M. thielei. All genera are keyed, all species described and synonyms given. Distribution patterns are noted but not discussed in any detail. © 1979, CSIRO. All rights reserved.
