Subfamily: Tettigoniinae Krauss, 1902

Remarks. The following 5 tribes of the subfamily are known from Turkey: Tettigoniini Krauss, 1902, Gampsocleidini Brunner, 1893, Drymadusini Uvarov, 1924, Decticini Herman, 1874 and Pholidopterini Ramme, 1951 (see the key below and the check-list in the present paper). As seen in the key the tribe Decticini may be divided into several tribes or subtribes as considered previously (such as Platycleidini, Rhacocleidini). But there is not a prominent diagnostic character for these separations. For instance, the number of ventral spurs (2) of the hind tibia seems to be a good character to distinguish the Rhacocleidini . But the genera included in this tribe are not close relatives of each other such as Rhacocleis Fieber, Anterastes Brunner, Sureyaella Uvarov, which would not be a monophyletic group (see also the Remarks section of Decticini, below).
