Tettigoniinae Krauss, 1902

Ünal, Mustafa, 2018, Tettigoniinae (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) from Turkey with key to genera and descriptions of six new species, Zootaxa 4432 (1), pp. 1-66 : 7

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).
