880D878FFFC5FFD6DDD099E3BC4E7CEC.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Kirby (1891) reported 1 ♂ and 1 ♀ Mecopoda platyphoea from Berlin. In addition to this, he also provided detail information about its morphometrics. This is the first record of this species for Pakistan. Ecological account: Field observations showed that these katydids voraciously feed upon the fresh tips of paddy crops that are comparatively soft. In the present survey a very few number of specimens were captured. The present study recommends that more surveys would be carried out in other areas of Islamabad, and particularly Margalla hills would be visited, as these hills present a great diversity of trees, shrubs, herbs, climbers, grasses as well as fodder crops. Beside this, the vegetation of the southern slopes along with flowering trees as Ficus carica, F. religiosa, Bauhinia variegata, Pinus roxburghii or Quercus leucotrichophora are also the shelter of many insects. Furthermore, typical version of humid subtropical climate of Islamabad is favorable for the biodiversity of this group.	en	Panhwar, Waheed Ali, Sultana, Riffat, Wagan, Muhammad Saeed, Khatri, Imran (2016): New records of Mecopodinae (Orthoptera: Tettigonioidea: Tettigoniidae) from Pakistan.

880D878FFFC5FFD7DDD09F30BB157A52.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Karsch (1886) reported as holotype for monroviana only a female, of dark brown colour, while the colour of our specimen is light greenish. This is the first record of this species for Pakistan. Ecological account: Kocarek & Holusa (2005) collected most of specimens from the dense wild vegetation near by the pulse crop. Moreover, it was pointed out that its feeding on the upper portion of leaves of crop might be due to the presence of strong mandibles. At the present we have collected sample from the wheat crop bordering by grass.	en	Panhwar, Waheed Ali, Sultana, Riffat, Wagan, Muhammad Saeed, Khatri, Imran (2016): New records of Mecopodinae (Orthoptera: Tettigonioidea: Tettigoniidae) from Pakistan.
