MADAGASCAR: Ranomafana, rain forest, Soaranatrail, 920 ma. s. l., - 21.256813° S, 47.422720° E; 25 iii 2015, leg. Anton Krištín, CH8596, male. From Madagascar, two species of the genus Tylopsisare known: T. bilineolata Karsch, 1893(see Ragge 1964) and T. irregularis Karsch, 1893(see Massa 2017c). From the shape of the cerci ( Fig. 5A) and the pronotum ( Fig. 5B), our specimen belongs to T. bilineolata, and here to the larger and more common morph (length of hind femur 25 mm; see Ragge 1964). Its stridulatory file ( Fig. 5C) is quite similar to that of T. lilifolia(Fabricius)(compare Heller 1988, fig. 110). Habitat.The specimen was found in a bush within tall tropical rainforest with many palm species and several tree fern species.
