Lipotactinae View in CoL , Terpandrini , Austrosaginae , and Holarctic Tettigoniinae

Lipotactinae View in CoL is monophyletic and sister to Neobarrettia View in CoL + (( Austrosaginae View in CoL + Chlorobalius View in CoL ) + Holarctic Tettigoniinae View in CoL ) ( Fig. 15 View Fig ). Lipotactinae View in CoL was originally described within Tympanophorinae ( Zeuner 1936) but elevated to a subfamily by Ingrisch (1995) due to

Necessary changes to paraphyletic subfamilies:

Meconematinae should no longer be used

Listroscelidinae should no longer be used

Mecopodinae should no longer be used unless changes are made to exclude Aprosphylini and include the tribes Ischnomelini and Phrictini (formerly Pseudophyllinae ) and the subfamily Phyllophorinae

Pseudophyllinae should no longer be used unless Simoderini, Phrictini , and Ischnomelini are removed

Tettigoniinae should only include the Holarctic shield back tribes and Ephippigerini (formerly Bradyporinae ).

Phaneropterinae should include Zichyini (formerly Bradyporinae )

Paraphyletic tribes and genus groups that should no longer be used unless further revised

Necessary changes to the recently named supertribes:

Arachnoscelis View in CoL should no longer be included within Phisidini View in CoL differences in thoracic sterna, thoracic auditory spiracle, compressed tibia, etc. While emphasis was placed on the extant taxa when these subfamilies were divided, the fossil katydids were not addressed, leaving Eomortoniellus spp. under Tympanophorinae instead of moving them along with their modern counterparts Lipotactes (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1898) View in CoL to Lipotactinae View in CoL . Gorochov referred to Lipotactinae View in CoL as a tribe (presumably under Tympanophorinae) and included Eomortoniellus View in CoL with the other Lipotactinae ( Gorochov 2010) View in CoL . Tympanophorinae and Lipotactinae View in CoL are not closely related and similarity between these two groups is likely due to ecomorphic convergence as in the other distantly related katydid subfamilies. Listroscelidinae View in CoL was shown to be paraphyletic ( Mugleston et al. 2013) and the distantly related taxa ( Meiophisis (Jin, 1992) View in CoL and Arachnoscelis View in CoL ) have since been removed from Listroscelidinae View in CoL . However, with our additional sampling, the ‘taxonomic dump’ of Listroscelidinae View in CoL was again verified ( Mugleston et al. 2016). In addition to the Requenini View in CoL mentioned above, samples from North American and Australian taxa within the tribe Terpandrini View in CoL were included in this study. Australian Chlorobalius View in CoL are sister to Australian Austrosaginae View in CoL and not North American Neobarrettia View in CoL . Terpandrini View in CoL historically has been included in both Saginae ( Gorochov 2007) and Listroscelidinae View in CoL ( Rentz 2001, Naskrecki and Rentz 2010, Fialho et al. 2014). Likewise, Austrosaginae View in CoL genera were also included within Saginae and only elevated to subfamily rank in the last few decades ( Rentz 1993). Austrosaginae View in CoL , Saginae, and the taxa previously described under the paraphyletic Listroscelidinae View in CoL are all predatory katydids with similar habitus. The taxonomic confusion is another apparent case where convergence in ecomorphs has led to invalid taxonomic groupings. Saginae is only a distant relative to the Austrosaginae View in CoL and species traditionally described under Listroscelidinae View in CoL . Additionally, Listroscelidinae View in CoL are more closely related to biogeographically close taxa in separate subfamilies than to other Listroscelidinae View in CoL once again verifying that this subfamily does not represent a monophyletic group and should no longer be considered valid.

The nominate subfamily Tettigoniinae View in CoL is paraphyletic as it is currently defined. The Holarctic Tettigoniinae View in CoL is not a monophyletic group because the Bradyporinae View in CoL genus Ephippiger sp. (Berthold, 1827) is nested within this group. As with the other large katydid subfamilies, widespread tribes are not monophyletic and similar morphology may have more to do with similarity in habitat and independent selective pressures than with phylogeny. Two relatively recent dispersals to Nearctic regions occurred. The first gave rise to Anabrus simplex (Haldeman, 1852) View in CoL , the Mormon cricket. The second is a more recent transition that gave rise to the more apical North American shieldbacks. Tettigoniinae View in CoL are largely recognized by features associated with spines, plantula, and ovipositor but the characters that are used to define this group do not account for the various southern hemisphere taxa that are currently described as Tettigoniinae View in CoL but only distantly related. If Tettigoniinae View in CoL is to continue being used, it should only include the Holarctic taxa + Ephippiger sp. and exclude the taxa currently described in the tribe Nedubini View in CoL .
