Studies in Australian Tettigoniidae: New short-winged Agraeciini from Australia (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae; Conocephalinae; Agraeciini).

Descriptions of seven new, short-winged Australian Agraeciine genera are presented with details of distribution, calling songs and karyotypes of several species. Photographs of the habitats of most species are included. A key to the known brachypterous and micropterous Australia agraeciines is presented. A new subtribe Australiagraeciina Rentz, Su, Ueshima is described to include species with small size of adults, macropterous males, apterous females and males with the stridulatory file positioned on a raised swelling. Included in the new subtribe are the following: Australiagraecia Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov. with the species A. spina Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov. (type species); A. minuta Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov.; A. helleri Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov.; A. torndirrupa Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov.; A. tagera Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov.; A. gladiator Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov.; A. curvata Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov. Ganiagraecia Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. nov.; G. karwinia Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov. (type species). Gwynnagraecia Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. nov.; G. viridis Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov. (type species).; G. perplexa Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov.; G. marandoo Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov. Latitatagraecia Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. nov.; L. kalamaya Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov. (type species); L. vulgivaga Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov. The following are placed in the subtribe Agraeciina Redtenbacher 1891: Cooloolagraecia Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. nov.; C. wallum Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov. (type species); C. gubbi Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov. Kokominiagraecia Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. nov.; K. dicra Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov. (type species). Timbarragraecia Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. nov.; T. samneilli Rentz, Su and Ueshima Gen. et sp. nov. (type species). A key to the Australiagraecia species is included.

Studies in Australian Tettigoniidae: New Fully-winged Agraeciini From North-eastern Australia (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae; Conocephalinae; Agraeciini).

Four new genera including five new species are described. All are from north-eastern Queensland. Barbaragraecia comprises two new species. B. unicorn Rentz Su, gen. et sp. nov. (the type species) and B. richardsoni Rentz Su, sp. nov. Geoffagraecia is known from a single species, G. gwinganna Rentz Su, sp. nov. the type species. Greenagraecia Rentz Su, gen. et sp. nov. is known from two species, G. attenuata Rentz Su, gen. et sp. nov., the type species and G. cooloola Rentz Su, gen. et sp. nov.. The unrelated genus Nicsara Walker 1869 is discussed and species with falcate ovipositors are removed and placed in a new genus, Larifugagraecia Rentz Su gen. nov., with Nicsara spuria Redtenbacher 1891 designated as the type species. Two species are removed from Nicsara and placed in Larifugagraecia. These are N. cornuta (Redtenbacher 1891) and N. spuria. Other species remain in Nicsara until they can be further assessed. Biological and ecological notes accompany detailed descriptions of the new species along with many morphological illustrations. Illustrations also are provided for L. spuria gen. nov. A key to the described fully-winged Australian agraeciine genera is provided at the end of the paper.

Studies in Australian Tettigoniidae: Three New Species of Agraeciini From North-eastern Australia Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae; Conocephalinae; Agraeciini.

Three agraeciine species are described from the north-eastern tropics of coastal Queensland. Two species of Austrosalomona are described. A. destructor sp. nov. is common from the Daintree region to Cairns where it has been seen to destroy orchids and other garden flowers. A. poecila has been found on coastal islands as well as at a few localities on the mainland north of Cairns. It has not been implicated in any destructive activities. Salomona nori sp. nov. is known from Kutini-Payamu (Iron Range) where it has been found living in tree holes. It is a large and formidable species that attracts the attention of tourists. Karyotypes and acoustic information are presented for all three species.

A new Raspy Cricket from the northern Australian Rainforests (Orthoptera: Gryllacrididae).

An Australian Raspy Cricket, Chauliogryllacris acaropenates Rentz, Su, Béthoux, sp. nov. is described. This cricket was found to harbor a number of mite species of interest to acarologists and the name was needed for them to proceed with their studies. A key to the males of the described species of Chauliogryllacris is provided along with numerous illustrations of the described cricket. Observations and comments on its biology, behavior and ecology are presented.

Studies in Australian Tettigoniidae: A review of the Australian katydids of the genus Goodangarkia (Tettigoniidae: Conocephalinae; Agraeciini; Liarina).

Six species in Goodangarkia are described. Information on the distribution. ecology and cytology of species is presented. An unusual characteristic of cranial stridulation of one species is noted. Cytological evidence suggests the chromosome complement of species are more basal than those from Africa for example.

Studies in Australian Katydids: A Review of the Australian Snub-nosed Sylvan katydids (Tettigoniidae; Pseudophyllinae; Simoderini).

The Australian members of the simoderine katydids are reviewed. The tribe is known from nine genera, five of which occur only in Madagascar, the others are Australian: Chloracantha Hebard (C. lampra, C. angularis sp. nov., C. garradunga sp. nov., C. hilleri sp. nov.), Tallebudgeroptera gen. nov. (T. spininota sp. nov.), Mastigaphoides Weidner (M. haffneri, M. tuberculatus sp. nov., M. vaginalis sp. nov., M. lewisensis sp. nov.), Narea Walker (N. compacta, N. elongata, N. kungaree sp. nov.). Mastighapha Karsch is synonymised with Narea. Descriptions, illustrations, sound recording information and distribution maps are presented for all species.
