It is a small Plangia, characterized by the absence of styli, cerci long, incurved and very pointed. It was listed as Plangia sp.1 by Massa et al. (2020).</p><p>Description. Male. Colour. Yellow-green, abdomen and legs brown; cerci black-tipped. Head and antennae. Fastigium of vertex as wide as scapus, not contiguous with the fastigium of frons. Face smooth. Thorax and legs. Anterior margin of pronotum incurved, posterior margin rounded. Fore coxae armed with a big spine. Fore femora short and compressed, with 4 spines on the inner ventral margin, fore tibiae a little compressed at the base, short, with open tympana, sulcate above, with 2 outer and inner ventral spines + 1 apical spur on each side, and 1 outer dorsal spur. Mid femora with 3 spines on outer ventral margin, mid tibiae with 4 outer and inner ventral spines + 1 apical spur on each side and 1 inner dorsal spur. Hind femora just compressed, wrinkled, with 3 spines on outer ventral margin, hind tibiae with 11 outer and inner dorsal spines and 10 outer and inner ventral spines + 3 apical spurs on each side. Wings. Tegmina 3.2-3.3 times longer than wide, with fore and hind margins more or less parallel, the fore margin only apically rounded. Stridulatory area of the left tegmen well raised, mirror on the right tegmen triangular (Fig. 31a), stridulatory file under the left tegmen arched and consisting of ca. 140 teeth more or less regularly spaced, their width decreasing from inner to outer margin (Fig. 31d). Abdomen. Cerci regularly decreasing in size, incurved and very pointed (Fig. 31b); subgenital plate triangular, styli absent, two small processes similar to the styli present at the apex of the plate (Fig. 31c).</p><p>Measurements (mm).

Chopard (1954) described only the female of this species; the series of males above listed were considered belonging to P. karschi because they were collected together females ascribable to this species. Chopard (1954) wrote that tegmina are 3.5 times longer than wide, but the measurements of the female reported by him indicate 3.8 times longer than wide. Only small differences from the general shape of the female described by Chopard (1954) were noticed. Plangia karschi is one of the complex of species characterized by the black spot on the male stridulatory area of the left tegmen, which very probably replaces P. graminea in West Africa.</p><p>Description of the male. Colour. Yellow-green, a black spot on the stridulatory area of the left tegmen; only in some females small scattered brown spots on tegmina (Figs. 32h, 33 a-b). Head and antennae. Fastigium of vertex as wide as scapus, not contiguous with the fastigium of frons. Face smooth. Thorax and legs. Anterior margin of pronotum a little incurved, posterior margin rounded. Fore coxae armed with a big spine. Fore femora short and compressed, with 3 spines on the inner ventral margin, fore tibiae a little compressed at the base, with open tympana, sulcate above, with 2-3 outer and inner ventral spines + 1 apical spur on each side, and 1 outer dorsal spur. Mid femora with 3 spines on outer ventral margin, mid tibiae with 3-4 outer and inner ventral spines + 1 apical spur on each side and 1 inner dorsal spur. Hind femora just compressed, externally wrinkled, with 5 spines on outer ventral margin, the outer genicular lobe with a small spine, hind tibiae with 11-12 outer and inner dorsal spines and 10-11 outer and 5-7 inner ventral spines + 3 apical spurs on each side. Wings. Tegmina 3.5-3.8 times longer than wide, with fore and hind margins more or less parallel, the fore margin only apically rounded. Stridulatory area of the left tegmen just raised, mirror on the right tegmen triangular (Fig. 32h), stridulatory file under the left tegmen arched and consisting of more than 80 teeth regularly spaced, in the middle larger than at both ends (Fig. 33e). Abdomen. Cerci stout and in-curved, apically tipped (Fig. 33c); subgenital plate triangular, styli small (Fig. 33d).</p><p>Measurements (mm). Males. Body length: 19.0-24.5; pronotum length: 4.5-5.5; length hind femur: 13.5-16.0; tegmina: 29.0-33.5; tegmina width: 8.0-9.7. Females (in parenthesis after Chopard 1954). Body length: 17.2-24.7 (18.0); pronotum length: 4.2-5.6 (4.6); length hind femur: 10.4-15.5 (16.0); tegmina: 26.0-34.5 (27); tegmina width: 8.2-10.0 (7.1); ovipositor: 4.3-6.5 (4.5).</p><p>Affinities. The male of P. karschi differs from P. graminea and P. satiscaerulea by the shape of cerci and the number of teeth in the stridulatory file, from P. astylata n. sp. by the stridulatory file (ca. 140 teeth) and the absence of styli. The male of P. villiersi is unknown, but female tegmina are fairly oval.</p><p>Distribution. Chopard (1954) described the female of this species from Mt. Nimba, N’zo and Kéoulenta (Guinea). Now it is recorded also from Togo and Côte d’Ivoire.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D6753F1462FFE7E89EFB36FCDBB8A1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Moretto (1♀) ; Gabon, Lope National Park, 13-14.III.2013, N. Moulin (1♀) .</p><p>Measurements (mm). Females (in parenthesis after Chopard 1954). Body length: 17.4-20.9 (20.5); pronotum length: 5.1-5.2 (5.5); length hind femur: 12.0-13.5 (17.0); tegmina: 27.6-29.0 (32.0); tegmina width: 10.6-11.0 (11.6); ovipositor: 7.5-7.6 (5.0).</p><p>Distribution. Plangia villiersi was described on the female sex from Mt. Nimba and Nion (Guinea) by Chopard (1954), who wrote that it is very similar to P. karschi, and differs mainly in the shape of tegmina, which are larger and more oval (length/width tegmina: 2.7). Specimens above listed from Côte d’Ivoire and Gabon have tegmina fairly oval, with the ratio length/width tegmina: 2.6; only Plangia ovalifolia (Bolívar, 1912) from Seychelles (Indian Ocean), described on the male sex, has such oval tegmina (length/width tegmina: 2.9). Thus, in the absence of males of P. villiersi, it is impossible to establish if P. ovalifolia and P. villiersi are conspecific, even if it seems unlikely that P. villiersi from West Africa and P. ovalifolia from Seychelles, remote islands about 7,000 km away from West Africa, belong to the same taxon.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D6753F1465FFE7E89EFC2AFDCBBD29	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The subgenital plate of the holotype is apically rounded. Later Griffini (1908) reported another female and described the unknown male from Mukonje Farm (Cameroon), with similar tegmina colours. Most specimens above listed show some vague spots on tegmina, males are lacking the black spot on the stridulatory area and have cerci incurved and black tipped, less stout than those of P. karschi . The stridulatory file consists of about 90 regularly spaced teeth.</p><p>Distribution. P. nebulosa should cover other than Cameroon, also Central African Republic, Togo, Côte d’Ivoire and Liberia. It was listed as Plangia sp. 2 by Massa et al. (2020).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D6753F1465FFE6E89EF9A2FCB7B941	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(2014), Hemp &amp; Massa (2017) included the group of Arantia regina - rectifolia -tanzanica into the subgenus Euarantia, having the width of the tegmina greater than 12 mm and the hind tibiae curved, but they highlighted that A. rectifolia Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878 may be intermediate between Arantia and Euarantia, because in some specimens examined the tegmina width ranged between 12.0 to 13.8 mm, and the hind tibiae were not as curved as it was given by Heller et al. (2014) for Euarantia (see Figs. 35-38). This group of species are characterized by faintly visible 4–5 ivory or more tawny to orange spots on anterior margin of tegmina, and cerci long and slightly sinuous with a black, chitinous and rounded apex. When Massa (2021a) described A. marginata from Gabon, he wrote that it is characterized by tegmina narrower than 12 mm, cerci long and in-curved, and just sinuous with a black, chitinous and rounded apex with 4-5 tiny spines, and stridulatory file arcuate, narrow, consisting of ca. 65 evenly spaced teeth. Really, A. marginata is very similar to A. rectifolia and only a careful observation may separate them. In the material above listed a huge number of specimens at the beginning considered A. rectifolia is included. They were collected in Central African Republic, Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, Guinea, and their tegmina width resulted narrower than 12 mm; some of them were also mounted with the left tegmen open and it was possible to check the stridulatory file. Interestingly, most of them have the stridulatory file of ca. 65 teeth (as in A. marginata; in A. rectifolia they are 45-50, not 80-85 as reported by Hemp &amp; Massa 2017), but in at least three specimens (from Liberia, with tegmina width 10.5-11.0 mm) it was different, shorter and with a fewer number of teeth (Figs. 39d and 39e). In all the specimens the hind tibiae are inappreciably curved. Cerci of these specimens resulted to be a little different (compare Figs. 39b and 39c with Figs. 39f and 39g), but observing some specimens of A. marginata with 65 teeth in the stridulatory file, they may possess cerci similar to those in Fig. 39g (incidentally very similar to those of A. rectifolia). It seems very likely that there are at least two species very similar within the series of specimens identified as A. marginata, but it is not possible to find a character (other than the stridulatory file) allowing a sure separation (see Figs. 39 a-e). The inclusion of the above group of species in different subgenera is hardly justified.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D6753F1459FFD8E89EFB0BFDE3BEB5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

When Ragge (1981) described Brycoptera lobata, he did not establish which tribe of Phaneropterinae it could belong to. Characters of this taxon are very peculiar and represent an extreme modification of the habitus towards a foliaceous aspect eroded by the possible mandibles of a caterpillar; all the legs are laterally expanded and this makes it objectively difficult to recognize the tribe it belongs to (Fig. 40c). Here it is proposed to ascribe this taxon to the tribe Preussiini Karsch, 1890, characterized as follows: foliaceous aspect, large size (body length: 22.0-26.0 mm), fastigium of vertex narrow, pointed and furrowed, as large as first antennal segment, face large and short, fastigium of frons with a small furrowed horn. Eyes oval, moderately prominent, scapus placed within an area with raised margins. Pronotum flat and smooth, nearly as long as high, with evident lateral margins and well-developed humeral excision, lateral lobes rounded on hind and lower margins. Legs short and stout; fore coxae armed, fore femora short and laterally flattened, fore tibiae dorsally sulcate, tympana conchate. Tegmina well developed, slightly shorter than hind wings. Tenth tergite unmodified, subgenital plate concave, long and narrow, provided with styli. Cerci stout and in-curved (Massa 2016).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D6753F145FFFDDE89EF9EAFD5EBCDB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Sánchez-Bayo &amp; Wyckhuys (2019), consulting 73 papers that deal with the decline of insects, have observed a sharp decline that can lead to the extinction of 40% of insects in the world in the next few decades. Most of studies used by them are located in the North Europe and North America, only single papers concern tropical areas. In particular, in terrestrial ecosystems butterflies (Lepidoptera), bees and bumblebees ( Hymenoptera) and coprophagous beetles ( Coleoptera Scarabaeidae) were the most vulnerable species, while the major groups of aquatic insects (Odonata, Trichoptera and Ephemeroptera) have already lost a considerable amount of species. Only a small number of species are increasing; they are arthropods with a wide ecological niche and very adaptable, generalists that live in many ecosystems, adapting to different ecological niches.</p><p>Guinean forest of West Africa represent one of the world areas containing the highest number of endemic species. Table 1 lists all the species of Tettigoniidae of the subfamilies Pseudophyllinae, Conocephalinae, Hexacentrinae, Phaneropterinae, Mecopodinae and Hetrodinae that have been recorded in the concerned African areas. The total number of Tettigoniidae of the subfamilies here considered amounts to 332 in the area of Guinean forests plus Central African Republic and Gabon; 242 of them live in the Cameroon-Nigeria subregion plus Central African Republic and Gabon, 216 in the subregion of Upper Guinea. In the Upper Guinean subregion 87 (40.3%) species resulted to be endemic, while in the Cameroon-Nigeria plus Central African Republic and Gabon 87 (35.9%) species are endemic (Table 1); in both cases the occurrence of endemic taxa resulted higher than in plants and vertebrata (only except for amphibians), which, following Mittermeier et al. (2011) are: plants 20%, mammals 14.9%, birds 9.4%, reptiles 25.2%, amphibians 38.4%, freshwater fishes 27.9%. Out of 332 species, 122 (36.7%) have a wide distribution, covering West and Central Africa, and 32 (9.6%) species living in the Cameroon-Nigeria subregion, but not in the Upper Guinean subregion, are also distributed in other areas of central or east Africa, mainly in the Democratic Republic of Congo.</p><p>However, Tettigoniidae living in Tropical Africa have the highest richness in the central-eastern and southern countries; for example some tribes are absent in the Guinean forests [the tribe Agraeciini Redtenbacher, 1891 of the subfamily Conocephalinae is present with only one species, Anthracopsis gigliotosi Karny, 1907; the tribe Eugastrini Karsch, 1887 of the subfamily Hetrodinae has only one representative, Spalacomimus liberianus (La Baume, 1911)] and some genera of Phaneropterinae, represented by many species, are only restricted to the eastern and southern Africa. The only exception seems to be that of the subfamily Pseudophyllinae, which, following Orthoptera Species File online (Cigliano et al. 2021), in tropical Africa consists of 118 species (subspecies are here excluded), 71 (60.2%) of them only present in Central-West tropical Africa. However, from the biogeographical point of view, in tropical Africa an east-west species impoverishment occurs, with the lowest values of species richness just in the isolated West Guinean forests, but also a high percentage of endemism occurrence in West forests.</p><p>The number of Tettigoniidae species in single hotspots resulted very high, also compared with similar studies (cf. Table 1): Mt. Tonkoui (Côte d’Ivoire): 81 (present study); Taï National Park (Côte d’Ivoire): 88 (present study); Dzanga-Ndoki National Park (Central African Republic): 134 (Massa et al. 2020, present study); Miombo Woodlands (Tanzania): 56 (Hemp &amp; Heller 2019); Gorongosa Park (Mozambique): 55 (Naskrecki &amp; Guta 2019). This is the probable result of intense researches carried out with the aid of the light trap.</p><p>...Continued on the next page</p><p>...Continued on the next page</p><p>...Continued on the next page</p><p>...Continued on the next page</p><p>...Continued on the next page</p><p>...Continued on the next page</p><p>...Continued on the next page</p><p>...Continued on the next page</p><p>Interestingly, putting the known species in four chronological categories of description date (before 1900, between 1901 and 1950, between 1951 and 2000, 2001-today) we may have an objective information on the fact that a high percentage of species (19.9%) has been discovered only in the present millennium (Fig. 45). Thus, very likely the number of species will grow in the next years if further entomological surveys are carried out. Naskrecki (2008) pointed out that some tropical African Orthoptera are known only from the type material and some of them probably became extinct; further, the speed with which forest habitats change suggests that many species will become extinct before they are even discovered. Extinction is the gravest consequence of the biodiversity crisis, since it is irreversible, and generally it is preceded by the rarity. We may presume that the extinction rate among the still unknown species is higher than that of the known species, since they are mostly rare species, and generally rarity is synonymous with vulnerability. Very likely species recently described on single specimens are already threatened or in verge of extinction.</p><p>Following Reid &amp; Miller (1989), biodiversity conservation is the management of human interactions with the variety of living forms and ecosystems, maximizing the benefits and maintaining their potential, in order to meet the needs and aspirations of future generations. However, this is possible when human populations live normally without risking their lives every day for war and disease. According to Turner et al. (2010) desperate human populations are driven toward further environmental degradation, and the forest decline is likely to be accelerated during the ongoing SARS-CoV pandemic in 2020-2021; further the Guinean area of Africa is known as one of the areas with the highest infant mortality due to malaria. The Gross Domestic Product is the single indicator considered by developed societies, the index of the “well-being” of a country. The path of continuous population growth has led us to the current frightening environmental and social situation which has caused an incredible devastation of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, the alteration of fundamental biogeochemical cycles, the dramatic loss of biodiversity, climate change and a profound social inequality, to name just some of the most evident and widely documented phenomena.</p><p>Human activities have elevated the rate of species extinctions to a thousand or more times the natural rate (Pimm et al. 1995). The forest degradation makes fauna extremely vulnerable. In tropical Africa deforestation is the major threat to animal and plant species; plantation agriculture has been very significant in replacing forest in Côte d’Ivoire, parts of Ghana, southern Nigeria, western Cameroon and Bioko (Mittelmeier et al. 2011) and of course it is very difficult to establish how many species this deforestation has negatively involved. The breadth of the concept of biodiversity reflects the interrelationships between genes, species and ecosystems. Since genes are components of species and species of ecosystems, the alteration of the structure at each level of this hierarchy can modify the others.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D6753F1455FFCDE89EFE23FA92BEF1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
