14. Holochlora sp. Fig. 16D

Remarks.-

One male specimen was collected during light trapping. Upon freezing the katydid, a horsehair worm ( Nematomorpha) emerged from the abdominal apex. This parasite is not uncommon among katydids found near the water (i.e. Sungai Belalong). The Nematomorpha was preserved in ethanol. The katydid bears the male diagnostic characters of Holochlora : male tenth abdominal tergite with two apical lobes, area around left stridulatory file strongly swollen ( Liu and Kang 2007).
