8E2587F9FFBFFFFFFF4A4D8AB122F85B.taxon	discussion	The genus Eulioptera Ragge, 1956 is closely related to Phaneroptera Serville, 1831 and is as well distributed over most of tropical Africa. Presently, this genus is represented by 23 species including two subspecies (probably eventually to be elevated to species level), and others will be discovered in the future years with increasing researches by using light traps and examining material preserved in the museums (Hemp 2021, C. Hemp, pers. comm.). Eulioptera generally are localsed and most species are known from one or a few localities, single or a few specimens.	en	Massa, Bruno (2022): On some interesting Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae and Acrididae from tropical Africa.

8E2587F9FFBCFFFCFF4A4BBFB12FFA3F.taxon	etymology	Etymology. E. bartolozzii n. sp. is named in honour of Luca Bartolozzi, entomologist, collector of the specimen, and curator of the Museum of Zoology of the University of Florence, Italy. Affinities. E. bartolozzii n. sp. is similar to E. zambesiana Massa, 2022, which has a much longer male subgenital plate and a bigger size (17.3 – 20.2 mm) (Massa 2022) (Fig. 1 h), to E. montana Ragge, 1980 (Chyulu Hills, Kenya), which has a different male subgenital plate (Fig. 1 i), a dark spot on the male stridulatory area, a little different stridulatory file (ca. 125 teeth). It is also vaguely similar to E. r. reticulata (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878), which, however, has a different male subgenital plate and pointed cerci (Fig. 1 j), and to E. monticola Ragge, 1980, characterized by red-brown spots on much of the body and a black mark on the stridulatory area; cerci are less incurved and the subgenital plate is shorter than in E. bartolozzii n. sp. (Fig. 1 k) (Ragge 1980). E. carrolli Naskrecki & Guta, 2019, E. mutembai Naskrecki & Guta, 2019, and E. iolandae Massa, 2021 have differently shaped male subgenital plates (Naskrecki & Guta 2019, Hemp 2021, Massa 2021).	en	Massa, Bruno (2022): On some interesting Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae and Acrididae from tropical Africa.

8E2587F9FFBCFFFCFF4A4D1FB75AF87F.taxon	discussion	The genus Mangomaloba was described by Sjöstedt (1902) together the species monticola from Mt. Cameroon. After the description of the genus, Chopard (1954, 1958) described other three species, namely: M. royi Chopard, 1954 (Guinea, Mt. Nimba), M. latipennis Chopard, 1954 (Guinea, base IFAN) and M. angustipennis Chopard, 1958 (Sao Tomé, Principe). Small differences exist between the description of the genus by Sjöstedt (1902) and the characters of the holotype of the type-species monticola; according to Sjöstedt (1902) ‘ tibiae anticae et intermediae supra paulo sulcate et totae inermes ’ (fore and mid tibiae superiorly a little furrowed and unarmed), but both the holotype of M. monticola and that of M. angustipennis have fore and mid tibiae armed with small spines on ventral side (see photos in Orthoptera Species File online http: // orthoptera. speciesfile. org / HomePage / Orthoptera / HomePage. aspx). In addition, differently from M. royi and M. monticola, the speculum of the right tegmen in M. angustipennis is small, but this may be a variable character within the genus.	en	Massa, Bruno (2022): On some interesting Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae and Acrididae from tropical Africa.

8E2587F9FFBAFFFAFF4A4A47B6AEFC23.taxon	materials_examined	Type locality: Africa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mukimbungu; depository: NHRS, Stockholm. The careful examination of the holotype of Mangomaloba latipennis (Figs. 2 a, 2 b, 2 c) revealed in the apical ventral side of mid tibiae the presence of a curved spur (L. Desutter, pers. comm.), typical in the genus Morgenia Karsch, 1890; the general habitus (Figs. 2 a, 2 b) and the shape of the spur (Fig. 2 c) consent to establish that it belongs to Morgenia rubricornis. Thus, it is being proposed that Mangomaloba latipennis Chopard, 1954 is considered a junior synonym of Morgenia rubricornis Sjöstedt, 1913. Additionally, Mangomaloba latipennis was erroneously reported by Massa (2017, 2018), but it really is Morgenia plurimaculata Massa et Moulin, 2018. Thus, presently three species of Mangomaloba are known from tropical Africa; all these species have spaced cross-veins in the costal area of tegmina. During the collecting activity by ANHRT in Sierra Leone, one specimen with characters similar to those of Mangomaloba was collected in a light trap, with the difference that the costal area of tegmina has a net of small cells. Because in Morgenia this character varies depending on the species (Massa et al. 2018), this specimen was tentatively considered to belong to Mangomaloba.	en	Massa, Bruno (2022): On some interesting Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae and Acrididae from tropical Africa.
