Only two male specimens are known, but one of them comes from Cameroon (Saussure 1899; John Hollier, pers. comm.) and thus very likely belongs to A. orthocnemis . It is characterized by narrow and translucent tegmina with a black spot at their base. Further characters are a rounded margin of the pronotal lobes. The male cerci are rather stout and have an inner spine, as A. orthocnemis (compare Figs 76 and 77).</p><p>Remarks. A. dentata is morphologically very similar to A. orthocnemis . However, the localities of both taxa ( A. dentata known from Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, A. orthocnemis occurring in Central and West Africa) are far apart geographically and therefore we decided not to synonymize these two species.</p><p>Distribution.

A. orthocnemis is a species of medium size (body length ♂ 31 mm, ♀ 34 mm) (Fig. 8). Karsch (1890) described both sexes from Barombi Station (Cameroon). Sjöstedt (1902) recorded it from Itoki (Cameroon), Bolívar (1906) from Fernando Póo (Equatorial Guinea), Griffini (1908) from Mukonje Farm (Cameroon) and Bruner (1920) from Lolodorf (Cameroon). It has narrow tegmina with reddish or ivory to white coloured spots, and with basal black markings. Tarsi in most specimens are black. Fore femora with 5–8 inner ventral spines (1 specimen from Mundame has 5 spines on the left femur, while the right is unarmed), mid femora are unarmed, hind femora with 6 outer and 8 inner ventral spines. Male specimens are easily distinguished from other Arantia species comparing the male cerci. The bases are swollen and a sclerotized ridge stretches from the base to the apex at the inner side. Basally at the inner side of the cerci a process is present, armed with an almost circular sclerotized ridge (Fig. 77). Styli well developed. The ovipositor has two lateral protuberances. The subgenital plate of the female is short and slightly pointed.</p><p>Affinities. Karsch (1889) and Griffini (1908) pointed out its affinity with A. hydatinoptera . A. orthocnemis has morphologically completely different male cerci while in A. hydatinoptera the male cerci are apically compressed and the tips incurved and a basal process is lacking as well as the inner sclerotized ridge. A. hydatinoptera is probably more closely related to A. leptocnemis . A. orthocnemis has almost identical male cerci as A. dentata (see above).</p><p>Distribution.

A. simplicinervis is a medium-sized species (body length ♂ 28–31 mm, ♀ 36–39 mm). Karsch (1889) described both sexes from Chinchoxo and Kuako (Kimpoko, Cameroon). Later, Griffini (1906) recorded it from Fernando Póo (Equatorial Guinea). It is characterized by whitish-yellowish paranota and more or less rectangular tegmina with thick veinlets (Fig. 14). The metanotum is slightly dark and also the tympana of fore tibiae may be dark. The types and other specimens have two dark spots on the lateral sides of the pronotum. A small black spot is present on the base of the tegmina, more or less hidden by the pronotum. Some specimens have an additional second small black spot in that area. Fore femora are armed with 3–7 spines, mid femora have 4–7 outer spines, hind femora 4–7 inner and 0–7 outer ventral small black-tipped spines [according to Karsch (1889) outer ventral margin of hind femora is unarmed, but in some specimens spines are present]. The stridulatory file is short and consists of 48–50 teeth (Fig. 53). Male cerci are long, comparatively slender, in-curved at their tips and slightly flattened, apically with or without a black swelling and with 2 black small dents (Fig. 82) (Karsch 1889; Brunner von Wattenwyl 1891). Styli are absent. The ovipositor is shorter than the pronotum.</p><p>Remarks. Arantia simplicinervis curvata was described as a variety of A. simplicinervis by Griffini (1908) on one female from Mukonje Farm (Cameroon). According to Griffini (1908) dimensions of this taxon lie within those of A. simplicinervis (Tegmina width: 10.0; width tegmina/length pronotum: 1.5), with the exception of the larger size (39 mm), more curved apical hind tibiae, spines of hind femora green with dark apex (present also in A. simplicinervis), the metazona of the pronotum being brown, with a concavity at the posterior margin, and a very short ovipositor (3.7 mm). Sjöstedt (1912) reported it as variety of A. simplicinervis from Buea (Cameroon). Because of the absence of true differences, A. simplicinervis curvata has to be considered a synonym of A. simplicinervis .</p><p>Distribution. Widely distributed in West, Central and south-west Africa (records from Guinea, Togo, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Angola).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C9352751FF9CFF83FF4AFB7AFD0FFB82	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

A medium sized species characterized by at least 5 dull brown markings in at least 3 hexagons on the yellow-green tegmina.</p><p>Description. Male. General habitus and colour pattern. Medium-sized with a characteristic colour pattern of 5–7 spots on the tegmina. First two antennal segments are yellow with a black spot, the remaining antennomeres are yellow. Head and legs are yellow with blackish areas (fore femora, tympana of fore tibiae, second half of mid and hind femora). Face yellow. Pronotum green, lateral lobes with a whitish area, metazona darker than prozona. Tegmina slightly oval, yellow-green with black markings at the very base, and 5–7 brown dull markings distributed along its length (Fig. 15). Head and antennae. Eyes oval, fastigium of vertex sulcate. Thorax and legs. Tympana of fore tibiae open on outer, closed on inner side. Prozona of pronotum clearly narrower than metazona. Anterior margin of pronotum slightly concave, posterior margin rounded. Lower margin of pronotal lobes without the concavity present in other species of the genus. A small black spot is present on the base of the tegmina, more or less hidden by the pronotum. Tegmina are 4.0–4.4 times longer than wide. The stridulatory area of the left tegmen is short. The stridulatory file consists of 28–30 teeth, the inner 4 more spaced than the outer ones (Fig. 54). Fore coxae unarmed. Fore femora with 5 inner ventral spines, fore tibiae with 6 inner and outer ventral spines, and 3 dorsally. Mid femora with 6–7 outer ventral spines, mid tibiae with 9–10 outer and inner ventral spines, 2–3 spines on outer and inner dorsal margins. Hind femora with 5 inner ventral black spines and 0–1 on outer ventral margin. Hind tibiae little curved, with 17–18 spines on outer and 10–11 on inner ventral margin. Abdomen. Cerci are long and in-curved, with an apical hairy sclerotized black tip, ending with two small dents (Fig. 83a). The subgenital plate is triangular, long and narrow, the apex is concave and styli are absent (Fig. 83b).</p><p>Female. Similar to male. Ovipositor is short and gently up-curved with small teeth only at the lower apical valve. The subgenital plate is triangular with a straight apex. Cerci are in- and up-curved.</p><p>Etymology. This species is characterized by at least five (from Latin: quinque) brown markings (in latin: macula) on the tegmina; quinquemaculata is a feminine adjective.</p><p>Affinities. A. quinquemaculata is related to A. hydatinoptera and A. simplicinervis, morphologically very similar to A. simplicinervis . Characterized by its brown markings on tegmina and the stridulatory file. In addition, its hind femora are comparatively shorter than those of A. simplicinervis .</p><p>Distribution. Central African Republic, Ivory Coast, Gabon and Togo, probably also occurring in suitable habitats between these localities.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C9352751FF9EFF9CFF4AFBADFDFCFBA7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

A. fasciata is a species of large size (Figs 16–18). Only the female is described at present. It is characterized by closed tympana on both sides of the fore tibiae. Part of the face is white, often lateral brownreddish stripes are present. Very characteristic is a broad fascia transverse on the metazona of the pronotum being dark anteriorly and white posteriorly. The tegmina are wide with clear impressed dots in the costal area. The anterior margin of the pronotum is nearly straight, the posterior margin broadly rounded. The female ovipositor has numerous small tubercles especially on the posterior end of the valves and is covered densely with short hairs. Kirby (1906) synonymized A. atrolineata with A. fasciata and Hemp (2013a) synonymized A. spinulosa with A. fasciata .</p><p>Description of the male (based on East African specimens). General habitus and colour pattern. Large species with broad wings, predominantly green with a white and dark stripe on the posterior part of the pronotum. Head and antennae. Eyes oval, striped. Antennae long and thin, about 6–7 cm long. Fastigium of vertex forming a ridge with shallow sulcus above with rounded margin between antennae. Fastigium of frons conical; both fastigia separated by deep gap. Thorax and legs. Anterior margin of pronotum almost straight. Disc of pronotum almost plane with shallowly impressed sulcus on metazona. Posterior margin of pronotum slightly down-curved, broadly rounded. Broad based, short, blunt knob (reduced spine?) on fore coxa. Tympana of fore tibiae on both sides closed or closed on outer side and on inner side triangular shaped or longish oval. Fore femur unarmed or with few tiny, sometimes black tipped spines. Mid femora unarmed. Hind femora with two rows of small evenly spaced spines, black tipped with broad base. Distally 1–2 spines can be larger to very large in some specimens with flange-like bases. All femora with two pairs of spurs at apex. Fore and mid tibiae with two ventral rows of few small spines, a pair of spurs at the apex. Hind tibiae with four rows of spines, dorsal rows of spines very dense, especially distally; three spurs at each side at apex. The stridulatory file is curved and consists of ca. 100 evenly spaced teeth (Figs 55– 56). Abdomen. Cerci slightly curved, decussate, long with a stouter base and more slender anterior part, tips clubshaped with a serrated sclerotized ridge (Figs 85a, 85b). Subgenital plate longer than wide, with median ridge and tiny styli.</p><p>Diagnosis. General habitus and colour pattern as in female A. fasciata, but with a smaller body size. Specimens collected in East Africa and seen in various collections differ considerably in body size. Most specimens have dark green tegmina without any pattern. However, in savanna habitats on the southern slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro few specimens were collected with a large body size and with a vivid pattern of brown patches and fasciae on the tegmina which looked very different from the other uniformly coloured specimens. Comparing the genitalia and the stridulatory files showed that also these specimens belonged to A. fasciata . A similar situation seems to be the case in A. regina (see below) where specimens also vary considerably in body size.</p><p>Distribution. Widespread in Africa, from Somalia to South Africa and Gambia further west.</p><p>Notes on habitat and ecology. Information on habitat and ecology are available only for East African populations (see Hemp 2005; 2013a, b). A. fasciata is a night-active canopy dweller. Its song of a few loud syllables can be heard from the canopy of trees during evening hours. In East Africa it is found in savanna habitats but is also common in submontane elevations on mountains. It also occurs in anthropogenic-influenced habitats such as banana-coffee plantations and here inhabits single high trees. Nymphs are often found on broad-leaved bushes and trees of medium height. A. fasciata is fully alate often covering great distances when disturbed. However, the species seems to rely greatly on its camouflage only moving when being shaken directly from the branches.</p><p>Remarks. A. fasciata is distributed over a large area of Africa south of the Sahara. Specimens studied from West, East and South Africa show a certain degree of morphological variation suggesting that at least different populations are present. Thus there are differences in the shape of the fastigium verticis, the shape of the tympana on the fore legs (West African species with completely closed tympana on both sides while in specimens from East Africa the inner side is more open, being tri-angular shaped and more open on the posterior side). Also the shape of the subgenital plate varies slightly. Further in West African species the face is smoother with parallel furrows below the eyes running to the labrum, while in East African specimens the facial area below the eyes is strongly wrinkled. However, the morphological variation is so gradual that no clear differences can be put down to define species. Unfortunately no male specimens from West Africa are stored in any museum we have visited and since females are generally morphologically very similar in Arantia ssp. it cannot be excluded that West and Central African populations differ from East and South African populations on species level. More collecting hopefully will eventually clarify the status of the Arantia fasciata species-complex and molecular analyses and studies on song should be undertaken to illuminate speciation patterns.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C9352751FF81FF9FFF4AFB36FCC3FE3E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Rehn (1914) described only the female from Uganda.</p><p>Characters. According to Rehn (1914) it is related to A. spinulosa, lacking one of the outer spines ventrally on the hind femora. It is clearly smaller in size, the margin of the tegmina lacks any concavity, lateral lobes of pronotum are a bit concave, lower margin sinuous.</p><p>Remarks. As mentioned in the introduction, the status of A. ugandana is unclear since the holotype is missing. Specimens identified as A. ugandana in the Natural History Museum, London, belong to the A. fasciata complex. Therefore we here synonymize A. ugandana with A. fasciata .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C9352751FF82FF9FFF4AFE04FCBCFBC3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body length: 24 mm; pronotum length: 7 mm; tegmina: 53 mm; tegmina width: 12.8; hind femur length: 28 mm; ovipositor: 5 mm (Karsch 1889).</p><p>Characters. A. rectifolia is a species of medium size [body length ♂ 26–30 mm; ♀ 27–32 mm; the size of the ♀ (47 mm) reported by Griffini (1908) is uncertain, because doubtfully identified]. Brunner von Wattenwyl (1878) described the male and considered it similar to A. fatidica . Later, both sexes were recorded by Karsch (1889), Brunner von Wattenwyl (1891) and Bruner (1920) from Lolodorf (Cameroon) and the Democratic Republic Congo. Ragge &amp; Roy (1965) reported the species from Senegal, Ragge (1968b) from the Ivory Coast, and doubtfully Griffini (1908) from Mukonje Farm (Cameroon). Ebner (1943) recorded it again from Fernando Póo (Equatorial Guinea). The width of tegmina of the holotype is 12.8 mm, intermediate between Arantia and Euarantia, in other specimens examined it ranged between 12.0 to 13.8 mm. Hind tibiae are not as curved as it was given by Heller et al. (2014) for Euarantia .</p><p>Typical is an ivory-coloured coating mixed with some dark traces on the fore tibiae in the area of the tympana. The dorsal sides of the tympana are conchate while the ventral sides are oval and open. The tegmina are not very broad, with sometimes only faintly visible 4–5 ivory (in living specimens) or more tawny to orange spots (in preserved specimens, see Figs 19, 21, 22). The stridulatory file is short, curved and consists of 80–85 teeth (Fig. 57). The fore femora are unarmed or armed with 1–2 small spines ventrally. The hind femora are armed with 3–5 inner and 4–7 outer ventral black-tipped or black small spines. Male cerci are long and slightly sinuous and have a black, chitinous and rounded apex (Figs 88a, 88b). Subgenital plate with tiny styli, in many specimens absent.</p><p>Only the female of A. accrana was described by Karsch (1889) although 2 males are also present in the Berlin collection which Karsch himself identified as belonging to A. accrana in 1894 (examined; see Fig. 22). The comparison of material of the male holotype of A. rectifolia with the male identified by Karsch as A. accrana showed no differences between the two taxa. Also the female holotype of A. accrana was compared with females caught together with male A. rectifolia . No differences in size and shape of the ovipositor and subgenital plate could be detected. Brunner von Wattenwyl (1891) separated the taxa on base of the ventral spination of the fore femora (absent in accrana, present in rectifolia) and the presence of ivory spots on the anterior margin of the tegmina. The ivory spots are expressed mostly in males and also the spination varies between specimens checked from being tiny to absent. At that time only the female of A. accrana was described and stored in Berlin and the key of Brunner of Wattenwyl was based on Karsch´s description. For these reasons here A. accrana is considered synonymous with A. rectifolia .</p><p>Remarks. A. rectifolia shows some variation in the morphology of the stridulatory area. Probably A. rectifolia is a complex of closely related species. Only studies on songs and molecular analysis will help to clarify the status of this taxon.</p><p>Distribution. Probably widely distributed throughout West and Central Africa (records from Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic Congo, Senegal, Togo, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C9352751FF82FF99FF4AFB5EFF13FAA2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

A. tanzanica n. sp. is larger than A. rectifolia, has broader wings, and a different stridulatory area on the left tegmen (compare Figs 19 and 20). The stridulatory file is much longer in A. tanzanica n. sp. consisting of 90–110 teeth, being large in the middle and more widely spaced and smaller and more densely set at both sides while A. rectifolia has a comparatively short stridulatory file with more regular densely set 80 –85 small teeth (compare Figs 57 and 58). The fastigium verticis also differs between both species: A. rectifolia has a fastigium that is narrow triangular with a deep sulcus while in A. tanzanica n. sp. the fastigium verticis has posteriorly a broad base then narrowing suddenly midway and is more shallowly sulcate. Also the spination of the legs is different between both species. Otherwise both species are morphologically very similar.</p><p>Description. Male. General habitus and colour pattern. Large to medium sized species with broad wings, predominantly green with pair of dark patches lateral on posterior part of pronotum. Head and antennae. Eyes oval-roundish, dark.

Disc of pronotum slightly depressed on posterior part. Posterior margin of pronotum slightly incurved. Tegmina broad with evenly rounded posterior margin. At costal area pattern of ivorycoloured net of veins on dark ground. Stridulatory file on underside of left tegmen long, sinuous (Fig. 58); teeth in the middle larger and more widely spaced than at both ends. Abdomen. Cerci long and slender with club, sinuous at apical part and decussate. Club hairy with inner part black. Subgenital plate longer than wide and tiny dot-like styli.</p><p>Female. Similar to male but a bit larger. Only obtained specimen could not be preserved.</p><p>Etymology. After the country of Tanzania.</p><p>Habitat and song.

This specimen has two labels, in one is written “Gaboun” (= Gabon), in the other “Liberia, ex Mus. Lubeck”; and because it agrees perfectly with the description of Brunner von Wattenwyl (1891) we consider the locality as Gabon.</p><p>Characters. A. regina (♀ 39 mm) (Fig. 23) was described on the female only (Karsch 1889). Giglio Tos (1907) recorded another female of this species from Boko (Democratic Republic Congo). It was described as having broad tegmina with a conspicuous blackish area at the anterior margin of the costal area of the tegmina. In addition the tegmina have 5 small yellowish spots near the base. The veinlets of the tegmina form a clear network of brown veins on green ground. Fore femora have 4 inner ventral spines, mid femora 0–1 outer ventral spine and hind femora 9 outer and 8 inner ventral spines. Male cerci are sinuous and end with an apical sclerotized bulge. Styli are absent. Brunner von Wattenwyl (1891) stated that A. regina agrees fully in habitus and dimensions with A. gabunensis but the latter differs from A. regina in having spines on the fore femora and lacking ivory spots at the anterior margin of the tegmina (however, the holotype has ivory spots on tegmina!). One male, identified as A. regina by Karsch (MfN) lies well within the variability of A. gabunensis, where styli are very small and sometimes invisible. Even though more material should be examined, A. gabunensis is here considered synonymous with A. regina .</p><p>Remarks. Brunner von Wattenwyl (1891) described only the female of A. gabunensis (Fig. 24). It is also a species of medium-large size [body length ♀ 34 mm; one ♀ of 44 mm, doubtfully identified, has been cited by Karsch (1891) from Barombi Station, Cameroon]. The anterior margin of the pronotum is straight and two dark spots are present on the lateral keels of the pronotum; a black spot may be present at the base of the tegmina, and some yellow spots are present on anterior margin of the tegmina basally. Radius veinlets are straight. The stridulatory file is short and straight and consists of ca. 40 teeth (Fig. 59). Fore femora are armed with 2 small spines, mid femora unarmed, hind femora have 5 inner black spines ventrally (cf. also Brunner von Wattenwyl 1878). Cerci are sinuous and apically enlarged (Figs 86, 87). Styli are absent.</p><p>This taxon is by far one of the most widespread Arantia species in central-western Africa and shows a high variability of characters (in size, spination of legs, etc).</p><p>Distribution. Probably widely distributed throughout West and Central Africa (records from Gabon, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic Congo, Togo, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C9352751FF86FF94FF4AFC0CFF13FBEE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Species of medium size (body length ♂ 33 mm) (Fig. 25). Easily distinguished from other Euarantia species by a large inner spine on the male cerci. A. incerata was erronously recorded by Karsch (1889) from Sierra Leone and Cameroon as A. fatidica because of the similarity of the male cerci. However, the male cerci of A. fatidica have a much smaller inner spine and the whole habitus is different. A. fatidica shows the typical habitus of the subgenus Arantia . Characteristic is the expanded furrow dorsally on the tibiae. Later Karsch (1893) described the specimens from West Africa as a separate species, A. incerata . Griffini (1908) examined both sexes from Mukonje Farm (Cameroon) and described the female. The posterior margin of the pronotum is brown, the basal area of tegmina black, the fore femora as long as the pronotum. Fore femora have 5–7 inner ventral spines, mid femora are unarmed or have 4–5 small outer spines, hind femora have 6–8 very small inner spines and 2–9 outer ventral species. The hind femora are comparatively short. The male cerci are stout and round at base, tapering towards the apex with a large sclerotized spine midway on the inner side. The apex of the male cerci are laterally flattened and inwardly curved (Figs 89a, 89b). Styli are present. The subgenital plate of the female is short and pointed. The ovipositor has two lateral protuberances.</p><p>Distribution.

A. latifolia is a species of medium size (body length ♂ 32 mm, ♀ 35 mm) (Fig. 26). Karsch (1890) described both sexes, later Sjöstedt (1902) recorded one female from Itoki (Cameroon). Bolívar (1906) reported one female from Fernando Póo (Equatorial Guinea) and other specimens from Cameroon, and Griffini (1908) listed both sexes from Mukonje Farm (Cameroon). A. latifolia is very distinctive because of its very wide, and rounded leaf-like tegmina. Two black spots at the base of the tegmina or a black stripe are typical. Further the veins of the tegmina form several large hexagons in which a small black spot is positioned centrally in most specimens. The antennae are thin and white-black annulate, about 1.5 times of the body length. The stridulatory area of A. latifolia males is callous and very short. Fore femora with 5–6 inner ventral spines, mid femora with outer ventral 0–5, and hind femora with 6–8 inner and 2–8 outer ventral dark-tipped spines. The male cerci are stout and hairy, and have almost the same size from base to apex; apically a sclerotized ridge is present (Fig. 90). Styli are absent. Lateral lobes of the ovipositor have a pointed protuberance, similar to those of A. marmorata and A. retinervis .</p><p>Distribution. Equatorial Guinea (Bioko = Fernando Póo), Cameroon, Togo, West and Central Africa.</p><p>Synonymic note. A. ovalipennis (Fig. 27) is here considered synonymous with A. latifolia . A. ovalipennis is known only from the holotype female (Chopard 1954), and it was not collected ever since. Both species have wide leaf-like tegmina, and A. latifolia covers a distribution including also Guinea, and is a widespread species in central and western Africa.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C9352751FF88FF95FF4AFE9EFE8FF9B8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body length: 34–35.7; pronotum length: 7.0–7.3; pronotum height: 6.8–7.3; hind femur: 33.9–34.5; hind tibiae: 38.5–38.8; tegmina: 4 6–47.4; tegmina width: 16.9–17.5; tegmina width/pronotum length: 2.4. Female (according to Heller et al. 2014): tegmina width: 22; tegmina width/pronotum length: 2.8.</p><p>Characters. A. marmorata is a medium-sized species (body length ♀ 33 mm) (Fig. 28). Karsch (1889) described only the female. It is yellow-greenish, characterized by rather broad tegmina, with veinlets forming hexagons, and black spots on the base of tegmina, below the pronotum. Fore femora are armed with 3 inner ventral spines. A. marmorata has one broad-based spine on both sides on the hind femur (Karsch 1889). Lateral lobes of the ovipositor have a pointed protuberance.</p><p>Description of the male. Comparatively large with broad, leaf-like tegmina. General habitus and colour pattern. On tegmina many dark spots and maculae. Hind femora ventrally with two broad-based spines. First two antennal segments yellowish, others green, with black rings. Head and antennae. Eyes round, fastigium of vertex sulcate. Face with reddish tinge. Thorax and legs. Tympana of fore tibiae open on outer side, closed on inner side, dark. Pronotum green or yellow with green lines, metazona yellowish. Anterior margin of pronotum slightly concave, posterior margin rounded. Lower margin of pronotal lobes lacks concavity present usually in other species of the genus. Tegmina are 2.5–2.7 times longer than broad, oval, green with a dark stripe at the base and numerous scattered dark maculae. The stridulatory file on left tegmen is slightly curved and narrow, with 95–100 teeth (Fig. 60). Fore coxae unarmed. Fore femora with 4 inner ventral spines, fore tibiae with 5–6 inner and outer ventral spines, and 2–3 dorsal spines. Mid femora with 1–2 outer ventral spines near the joint of the tibia with the femur, mid tibiae with 11–12 outer ventral spines, 6–7 inner ventral spines, and 6–7 outer and inner dorsal spines. Hind femora with 7 outer and 5 inner ventral pines, the last two broad-based and black-tipped. Hind tibiae curved, with 16–18 outer spines and 12–13 inner ventral spines. Abdomen. Cerci are long, up- and in-curved, stout with a central narrowing, and a spoon-like expanded apex and a sclerotized apical spine (Fig. 91). Subgenital plate is triangular, tricarinate, with a straight apex and two small styli.</p><p>Remarks. Karsch (1890) separated A. marmorata from A. latifolia because of the slightly different shape of the posterior margins of the tegmina, the wide dark stripe at the base of tegmina and a different spination. However, differences between A. marmorata and A. latifolia consist in tegmina width (width tegmina/length pronotum in marmorata 2.8, in latifolia 2.3) and especially in the male cerci. Typical are the male cerci, which are spoon-like expanded at the tips, lacking a subapical process present e.g. in A. congensis . It also is morphologically related to A. congensis and A. melanota .</p><p>Distribution.

Female. Body length: 31; pronotum length: 7.2; tegmina: 51.5; tegmina width: 18; ovipositor: 4.4 (Griffini 1908).</p><p>Characters. A. congensis is a species of medium size (body length ♂ 29.5–36.1 mm, ♀ 31 mm) (Fig. 29). Griffini (1908) described it from the Democratic Republic Congo as subspecies of A. melanota . According to Griffini (1908) it is similar to A. melanota but is characterized by longer fore femora (11 mm in A. congensis vs. 10.7 mm in A. melanota), broader tegmina, and different cerci. It has a narrow pronotum, and clearly longer and more slender legs than any other species of the genus Arantia . In addition, it has broad-based spines ventrally on the hind femora. The anterior margin of the pronotum is slightly concave, the posterior margin rounded. The lower margins of the pronotal lobes lack the concavity usually present in other species of the genus. Tegmina are 2.8–3.3 times longer than broad, about a dozen of hexagons formed by the veinlets centrally on the tegmen. The stridulatory file of the left tegmen is slightly curved, with 95–100 teeth (Fig. 61). A small spine is present at the posterior end of tergites 2th–8th. Fore coxae unarmed. Fore femora with 3–5 inner ventral spines, fore tibiae with 7– 8 inner and outer ventral spines, and 4–5 dorsally. Mid femora unarmed, mid tibiae dorsally and ventrally with 11– 12 outer and inner ventral spines and 6–7 outer and inner dorsal spines. Hind femora with 6–8 outer and 4–5 inner ventral spines, the last 4 spines broad-based and black-tipped. Hind tibiae curved, with 12–14 outer and 9–11 inner ventral spines. Tibiae and femora are long and slender. Very characteristic are the male cerci; the bases are spoonlike expanded at the tips, with a subapical process (Fig. 92). The subgenital plate is triangular, tricarinate, the apex is concave with two tips, similar to styli, that are obliterated.</p><p>The female has been re-described by Heller et al. (2014). It is characterized by unusually large and broadbased spines (especially the last two) on both edges ventrally on the hind femur. The ovipositor has two lateral protuberances.</p><p>Colour. Probably predominantly green in life, preserved insects with yellowish to tawny areas. Antennal segments reddish with small black rings. Tympana dark or only dark at their apex. Tegmina oval, green with a dark stripe at the base and some yellow spots on the vertical veinlets (Fig. 29).</p><p>Distribution.

A. melanota is a species of large size (body length ♂ 32–40 mm, ♀ 44 mm). Sjöstedt (1902) described the male. Griffini (1908) described the female from Mukonje Farm (Cameroon). It is characteristic for its dark tympana, whitish metanotum bordered by a dark stripe and a black line on the posterior part of the pronotum in the area where the metazona is curved. Eyes round and prominent, first antennal segment covered with fine hairs. Fastigium of vertex sulcate. Anterior margin of pronotum straight, posterior margin rounded. Lower margin of pronotal lobes round. Tegmina are 3.4 times longer than broad. Veinlets of tegmina form some hexagons; at their angles some small yellow and black spots are present. The stridulatory file of the left tegmen is arcuate, composed of ca. 60–65 teeth (Fig. 62). Fore coxae unarmed. Conspicuous is a black area around the tympana of the fore tibiae. Fore femora with 5 inner ventral spines, fore tibiae with 8 inner and 4 outer ventral spines, and 5 dorsally. Mid femora unarmed. Mid tibiae with four rows of spines, 11 outer and 9 inner ventral spines, 6 outer and 8 inner dorsal spines. Hind femora with 5 black spines ventrally. Hind tibiae strongly curved, with 14 inner and outer ventral spines. Cerci in-curved, apex claw-like with sclerotized tips, densely covered by hairs (Figs 93a, 93b). The subgenital plate is more or less trapezoidal and short, with enlarged and closely spaced appendices. Styli are absent. Ovipositor has two lateral protuberances.</p><p>Affinities. The tegmina are comparatively broad, with several hexagons formed by the veins. Typical is also a black area at the immediate base of the tegmina. Characteristic are the male cerci with a claw-like apex. Large black spines are present ventrally on the hind femora. From its habitus with the broad leaf-like tegmina similar to A. latifolia . However, the latter has different male cerci that are undivided and wear a sclerotized ridge at the tips. Similar male cerci are present in A. retinervis also sharing a similar habitus with A. melanota . In the latter species the male cerci are divided into two approximately equally long sclerotized tips, one of them stout and broad-based the other tip more slender. Conspicuous in A. melanota are the black marked areas of the tympana on the fore tibiae which are green in A. retinervis . Further A. retinervis has a uniformly green pronotum while A. melanota has a thin black transverse line on the metazona of the pronotum.</p><p>Distribution.

Karsch (1896) described A. excelsior on a single male from Sierra Leone (Fig. 34). A few years later he described A. mammisignum on a single female from Cameroon (Fig. 37). The most conspicuous characters of A. mammisignum are the two shiny white patches on the posterior part of the pronotum, and black markings on the fore margin of the tegmina. Obviously because of the conspicuous two white patches on the posterior pronotum Karsch did not realize that the newly described female was conspecific with A. excelsior . However, also the male shows this conspicuous character of white patches on the posterior margin of the pronotum, as well as black markings on the tegmina (Figs 39–40). Now more specimens became available for study and it became obvious that A. mammisignum is conspecific with A. excelsior . Collections of MNCN hold a specimen from southern Cameroon (Dibongo) identified as A. tigrina, which is almost identical with the female of A. mammisignum including the colour pattern of the two large white patches on the posterior margin of the pronotum. The male holotype of A. tigrina (Fig. 36) has the same genitalic morphology as A. excelsior: the male cerci are stout at their base tapering to the apex, are sinuous midway and end in a dark coloured club (compare Figs 96, 97, 98). The male subgenital plate is very distinctive being elongate, almost rectangular and very narrow without styli but blunt short processes. Also the costal area of the tegmina has brown to black markings both in the A. excelsior and the A. tigrina types. In specimens studied the metazona of the pronotum is often brown with a whitish area at the posterior margin. Two large white patches may be present on the posterior pronotum (holotype A. mammisignum, female paratype A. tigrina), may cover the whole posterior down-curved part of the pronotum (holotype A. tigrina) or may be restricted to the immediate margin (holotype A. excelsior). Typical is also a strong deflection of the pronotal disc in the area of the metazona (Fig. 39). The face of the holotype in A. excelsior is reddish brown while it is ivory white in A. tigrina; the face of the female of A. tigrina in MNCN is uniformly brown. Therefore, colour variation is apparent in this species as has also observed e.g. in specimens of A. fasciata from East Africa, as well as differences in body size. Some specimens of A. excelsior have blackish stripes on the legs (including the tympana of the fore tibia). Thus, both A. tigrina and A. mammisignum are here synonymized with A. excelsior . The stridulatory file of A. excelsior is short and broad and consists of ca. 65 more evenly spaced teeth (Fig. 64). Further, some specimens (from Ivory Coast) have both inner and outer tympana closed on the fore tibia.</p><p>Affinities. A. excelsior is closely related to A. rectifolia and A. regina having a similar habitus of broad leaflike wings and similar male genitalia. A. rectifolia has tegmina less broad than A. excelsior and A. regina . In addition, in A. regina the male cerci are more slender and the club at the tips of the cerci is not as large as in A. excelsior . The female ovipositor is smaller in A. rectifolia . Also A. rectifolia lacks the brown-black patches at the anterior margin of the tegmina which seem typical for A. excelsior (Fig. 34). Another striking difference is seen on the metazona of the pronotum. In A. excelsior a conspicuous deflection is present while in A. rectifolia and in A. regina the posterior part of the metazona is only shallowly bent.</p><p>Distribution.

A. scurra has small to medium size (body length ♂ 26.5–33 mm). Karsch (1896) described it on one male, on the following characters: head, pronotum, legs and abdomen ochreous, antennal segments pale with dark rings and ochreous basal segment, face reddish-black, basal lobe of pronotum, apex of fore femora, base of fore tibiae and apex of hind femora reddish, hind tibiae with dark rings, fore and hind femora with black spines, tegmina more or less rectangular with some black spots on their base (Fig. 38). The face is also dark and the palps have a dark apex. Fore and mid femora unarmed, hind femora with 5 inner and 7 smaller ventral spines. Male cerci are in-curved, slightly sinuous, long and stout and have a black round and wrinkled apex, styli are small and black (Fig. 99).</p><p>Affinities. A. scurra belongs to a group of Arantia species with stout and sinuous male cerci ending in a club that is black, brownish or has the same colour as the cerci. A. rectifolia males have a small club on the tip of the cerci which has the same colour as the cerci or is slightly brownish, A. excelsior has strongly sinuous male cerci with a large club which is black. Also A. fasciata has stout sinuous male cerci with a well developed club that is slightly coloured. A. excelsior and A. scurra also share brown to black grooves at the anterior margin of the tegmina.</p><p>Remarks. A. scurra is morphologically closely related to A. excelsior . The only characters delimitating A. scurra from A. excelsior are the dark brown pronotum and the smaller size. The male cerci are very similar and A. scurra shares the darkened tympana and anterior dark parts of the fore femora with A. excelsior . The stridulatory file (Fig. 65) is very similar to that of A. excelsior . Also very apparent are the dark brown and black grooves on the anterior margin of the fore tegmina shared by both A. scurra and A. excelsior specimens. At present the male holotype of A. scurra was unique, no collection studied so far had further specimens which would have supported the status of this species. A. scurra is known from Cameroon and thus also overlaps in its locality with the known distribution of A. excelsior . Only more material will clarify whether A. scurra is conspecific with A. excelsior .</p><p>Distribution.

A. tibiaspinosa n. sp. is very similar in its colour pattern to A. excelsior and especially to A. scurra . All three species also share similar male genitalia, the apices of the cerci being club-shaped. With A. excelsior it shares the conspicuous white patches on the metazona of the pronotum and with A. scurra an almost identical colour pattern of tegmina and legs (compare Figs 39–40 with 41–42 and 43–44). The tegmina of both species have brown dots and patches where tegmina meet in the middle when folded and have dark brown stripes on the hind legs. The joints of the fore and mid legs are dark brown in both species. A. tibiaspinosa n. sp. may easily be distinguished by the enlarged and densely set spines of the basal hind tibiae, a character unique so far for Arantia .</p><p>Description. Male (Fig. 45a).

A. dimidiata is easily distinguished from A. galbana by the absence of hexagonal areas in the tegmina and by black spines present on the legs of A. galbana (Karsch 1891; Bolívar 1906) (compare Figs 48 and 49). In addition, the cerci of A. dimidiata are long, in-curved, dorso-ventrally compressed and end with a small black spine, while those of A. galbana are sinuate and end with a round hairy bulge (compare Figs 102 and 104). Further, some specimens of A. dimidiata have a dark fascia on the posterior area of the pronotum, absent in A. galbana . The stridulatory file consists of ca. 55–60 teeth, the central situated teeth are broader and more spaced (Fig. 68). Griffini (1906) described the male of Arantia gestri from the Democratic Republic Congo (Fig. 47) and later (Griffini 1908) the female from Mange (Kassay, Congo). A peculiar character is the black velvet color of the hind margin of the pronotum. The fore coxae are armed with a very small spine (both in the male holotype and in the female), fore femora armed with 7–9 black-tipped small spines. The outer tympanum of the fore tibia is black. The mid femora are armed with 6 small ventral spines, and the hind femora with 6–8 ventral black-tipped spines. The anterior margin of the tegmina is straight with small black spots, and the stridulatory area of the left tegmen also has small black markings, as in A. dimidiata . Further, a concavity on the lower margins of the pronotal lobes is present also in A. dimidiata . Cerci of A. gestri are long, hairy, with an enlarged apex and a very small dark spine, identical to those of A. dimidiata (compare Figs 102 and 103). Styli are absent. The ovipositor of the female is short and the last tergite has two tumescent bumps. A. gestri and G. dimidiata were described in the same year, thus authors of their descriptions probably were unaware of the respective described taxa. However, G. dimidiata was described on 1st August 1906, while A. gestri on 5th August 1906 (cf. Poggi 2010). Thus, A. gestri Griffini, 1906 is a junior synonym of G. dimidiata Bolívar, 1906 .</p><p>Distribution.
