Alloteratura (Alloteratura) belalongensis Tan et al., 2017
Remarks.-
This is one of the four new species of
Meconematini
katydids collected and described from Kuala Belalong. This new species is very similar to
A. (A.) karnyi
Kaestner
, 1932 from northern Sumatra (
Kaestner
1932
,
Gorochov 1998a
) and Thailand (see
Saenger
and Helfert 2000
) but could belong to several different subspecies of the same species owing to the similarities in morphology (
Tan et al. 2017d
). We need more material around Southeast Asia and study of their population genetics to confirm species limits. Refer to
Tan et al. (2017d)
for the new species description.
