Pronotum rugose, rounded, posterior area (in metazona) slightly inflated. Tegmina hidden for most of their length under pronotum only straight hind margins of tegmina visible. Width of the mirror (see Hemp et al. 2015) in the left tegmen 1.64 mm, its length 1.15 mm. Fore coxa with short and curved spine. Fore and mid femora with 2 – 3 outer stout ventral spines, unarmed on inner side. Hind femur with 4 stout ventral spines distally on outer side, inner side unarmed. Fore and mid tibiae with ventral double row of 4 – 5 spines and a pair of ventral spurs similar to other spines on tibiae. Hind tibiae with four rows of spines, distally more densely set; dorsally 1 pair of spurs, ventrally 2 pairs. Abdomen. Tenth abdominal tergite elongated, forming at posterior end two broad and rounded lobes. Anterior part of 10 th abdominal tergite blackish, posterior part green (Fig. 8 A). Subgenital plate elongated, processes posteriorly up-curved and v-shaped incised medially, with finger-like styli as typical for Afroanthracites. Cerci laterally compressed with a blunt edge midway and two short processes at its tip (Fig. 8 A). Female. Similar to male but larger (Fig. 7 B). Face as male. Brown patch on metanotum of pronotum not as large as in male and rather inconspicuous. Venter of abdomen whitish. Ovipositor stout, of reddish colour, slightly up-curved (Fig. 7 B). Posterior margin of 10 th abdominal tergite medially deeply incised and thus forming two lobes (Fig. 9 A). Subgenital plate medially deeply u-shaped incised (Fig. 9 B). Nymphs. As in A. montium from the Mt Kilimanjaro area and A. usambaricus from the West Usambara Mountains. Nymphs of A. inopinatus n. sp. have two black to light grey (sometimes obsolete) stripes on the face. Measurements, male (mm) (N = 4). Body length 19.4 – 21.4. Length of pronotum 7.4 – 7.6. Length of hind femur 10.3 – 10.5. Measurements, female (mm) (N = 4). Body length 17.5 – 24.4. Length of pronotum 5.5 – 6.0. Length of hind femur 11.0 – 11.8. Ovipositor 8.5 – 9.6. Song. All recorded males (from Mt Mwala and Kwizu Forest Reserve) produced fast sequences of disyllabic echemes (occasionally also consisting of one or three syllables). See Fig. 39, 42 and Table 1 for details. Diagnosis. Morphologically closely related to A. montium from the Mts Meru and Kilimanjaro area and A. usambaricus restricted to the West Usambara Mountains. All three species share a similar colour pattern with a brown patch on the metazona of the pronotum bordered by white to cream fasciae and have also quite similar songs (see Hemp et al. 2015). The abdomen may be uniformly bright green to whitish-light brown or green with some dark mottles in A. usambaricus. Males of all three species have an elongated 10 th abdominal tergite, broad and dark coloured at its anterior part, then narrowing with a black fascia along its lateral edges, medially of green colour and at their tips divided into two lobes (Fig. 8 A – C). Also the cerci are similar consisting of a curved stout main branch ending in two short processes (Fig. 8 A – C). Differences are found in the stoutness of the 10 th abdominal tergites (compare 8 A – C) and slight differences in the shape of the male cerci (compare Fig. 8 A – C). All three species are restricted to forests of the respective areas. Females are morphologically also very similar with a similar colour pattern as the males but with the pronotal brown patch not as large and conspicuous. Clear differences are found when comparing the subgenital plates of the females. A. inopinatus n. sp. has a deeply u-shaped incised subgenital plate while in A. usambaricus only a small u-shaped incision is typical. In A. montium the subgenital plate is v-shaped incised medially (compare Fig. 9 B, D, F). Only in nymphs of these three species parallel dark fasciae are present on the face also supporting a close relationship. Distribution. Restricted to submontane and montane forests of the South Pare Mountains. Etymology. From Latin: — inopinatus, unexpected since it was a surprise to find yet another Afroanthracites species in the Eastern Arc Mountains morphologically related to A. montium and A. usambaricus.	en	Hemp, Claudia, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2019): New Agraeciini species from the Eastern Arc Mountains, East Africa (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae; Conocephalinae; Agraeciini).

98473E49FFFA8672A0BDFA8AFF71FE3A.taxon	materials_examined	Holotype: male. Tanzania, East Usambara Mountains, Lutindi Forest Reserve, submontane forest, February 2017. Paratype female, same data as holotype. Depository: collection C. Hemp. Description. Male. General colour predominantly green and brown. On dorsum of pronotum in area of metazona large brown patch bordered green. Head and antennae. Fastigium verticis conical, slightly shorter than scapus. Head and area around scapi green, face brown. Thorax. Pronotum in area of pro- and metazona strongly rugose. Metazona slightly inflated; disc of metazona with numerous impressed dots. Tegmina hidden for most of their length under pronotum only straight hind margins of tegmina visible. Antennae long, more than twice the length of body, scapus and first antennomere green, remaining flagellum tawny. Legs predominantly green. Fore coxa with almost straight spine. Fore femora with three, mid femora with two and hind femora with 5 outer ventral spines. Inner margins of all femora unarmed. Fore and mid tibiae with double row of 4 inner and 5 outer ventral spines. Hind tibiae with 4 rows of densely set spines getting denser distally. One spur on each side dorsally and two pairs of spurs ventrally. Abdomen. Abdomen green. Tenth abdominal tergite with median black stripe; elongated, at tip fork-like divided, at lower margin two rounded blunt processes (Fig. 10 A, B, C). Subgenital plate elongated, posteriorly upcurved and v-shaped incised medially, with short styli (Fig. 10 C). Female. Similar to male in size but with more mottled colour pattern. Face as male. Brown patch on metanotum of pronotum not as large and conspicuous as in male and darker. Ovipositor slightly up-curved. Posterior margin of 10 th abdominal tergite forming two small lobes (Fig. 11 B). Subgenital plate broad with v-shaped incised median gap with two short tips, rounded laterally (Fig. 11 A). Measurements, male (mm) (N = 1). Body length 26.5. Length of pronotum 7.7. Length of hind femur 12.5. Measurements, female (mm) (N = 1). Body length 22. Length of pronotum 6.7. Length of hind femur 14.2. Ovipositor 11.5. Diagnosis. An elongated strongly to its apex narrowing 10 th abdominal tergite is only also found in A. jagoi Ünal & Hemp, 2013 from the West Usambara Mountains. However, the tip of A. jagoi is more strongly incised at its tip (Fig. 12 A) compared to A. lineatus n. sp. A. jagoi is of smaller body size and has a different overall colour pattern than A. lineatus n. sp. Very easy character to identify males of A. lineatus n. sp. beside its much elongated 10 th abdominal tergite is the black stripe medially on this structure. Females of A. jagoi and A. lineatus n. sp. are very similar but as in males, A. jagoi females are of smaller body size and the ovipositor is shorter. Also the 10 th abdominal tergite is different: medially the projection is almost blunt with only a tiny median incision in A. jagoi (Fig. 12 B) while it is well incised and thus forming two lobes in A. lineatus n. sp. (Fig. 11 B). Distribution. Only known from Lutindi Forest Reserve in the East Usambara Mountains. Etymology. Named after the black stripe on the 10 th abdominal tergite of the male. From Latin — linea = stripe.	en	Hemp, Claudia, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2019): New Agraeciini species from the Eastern Arc Mountains, East Africa (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae; Conocephalinae; Agraeciini).

Head brown. Abdomen green with green tri-angles medially with diffuse brown colour. These tri-angles bordered by black lines. Lateral on abdomen on each segment cream-white patches. Legs green with herringbone pattern on outer side. Near joints with tibiae black rings, joints yellowish-white (Fig. 13 A, B). Head and antennae. Fastigium verticis conical, slightly shorter than scapus. Face with median tri-angle shaped black fascia, labrum and mandibles orange. Genae green (Fig. 13 C). Antennae long, more than twice the length of body, scapus green with black patches, second antennomere also green with black mottles, remaining antennomeres of reddish colour. Thorax. Pronotum rugose, rounded, posterior area (in metazona) slightly inflated. Tegmina hidden for most of their length under pronotum only straight hind margins of tegmina visible. Legs. Fore coxa with slightly curved spine. Fore and mid femora only with 2 outer ventral spines, unarmed on inner side. Hind femora with 4 – 5 small outer ventral spines near distal part with joint of tibia, on inner side unarmed or with one tiny spine. Fore and mid tibiae with double row of 3 – 6 irregular set ventral spines and pair of ventral spurs. Hind tibiae with 4 rows of small spines, densely set on dorsal two rows, and with few spines along ventral two rows; with ventral double pair of short spurs and dorsal stout pair. Abdomen. Tenth abdominal tergite elongated and up-lifted at posterior margin forming two tri-angle shaped vertically oriented structures (Fig. 14 A – C). Subgenital plate elongated, posteriorly up-curved and v-shaped incised medially, with finger-like styli (Fig. 14 C). Cerci similar to A. guttatus n. sp. but expansion midway not as acute but almost rounded (Fig. 14 A, inset). Female. Similar to male in size but with more mottled colour pattern. Face as male. Brown patch on metanotum of pronotum not as large and conspicuous as in male and darker. Ovipositor slightly up-curved. Posterior margin of 10 th abdominal tergite forming two broad lobes (Fig. 15 A). Subgenital plate broad with v-shaped incised median gap (Fig. 15 B). Measurements, male (mm) (N = 4). Body length 18.8 – 19.1. Length of pronotum 7.3 – 8.0. Length of hind femur 10.4 – 11.1. Measurements, female (mm) (N = 4). Body length 18.4 – 19.5 Length of pronotum 6.0 – 6.2. Length of hind femur 11.8 – 12.5. Ovipositor 10.5 – 11.0. Song. The recorded male produced echemes with eight syllables at intervals of about three seconds. See Fig. 39, 42 and Table 1 for details. Diagnosis. A. guttatus n. sp. and A. maculatus n. sp. are morphologically related. A. guttatus n. sp. has a male abdominal 10 th tergite which has an expanded broad margin similarly found in A. discolor of the West Usambara Mountains. However, the general colour pattern — usually a very stable character in Afroanthracites — is different and the male cerci are also differently shaped. A. discolor Hemp, Ingrisch & Ünal, 2013 also has laterally more strongly expanded cerci with an acute branch midway and an inner branch differentiated into two shorter and more slender branches (Fig. 46 D). These inner branches are larger and longer than in A. guttatus n. sp. (46 A). A. pseudodiscolor Hemp, 2015 has male cerci morphologically also very similar to A. guttatus n. sp. and A. discolor (compare Fig. 46). The 10 th abdominal tergite in A. pseudodiscolor (Fig. 16 D), however, is differently shaped. Two tri-angle shaped structures are formed at the posterior margin, similar to A. maculatus n. sp. But in A. maculatus n. sp. the male cerci do not have an acute process midway on the male cerci. Females may be distinguished when comparing the posterior margin of the 10 th abdominal tergites. A. discolor and A. pseudodiscolor (Fig. 17 A) have lappet-like structures at the posterior margin while the posterior margin of the 10 th abdominal tergite in A. guttatus n. sp. is shallowly lobed (Fig. 17 B) and in A. maculatus n. sp. (Fig. 17 C) two evenly rounded lobes are formed. A. montium from the Kilimanjaro / Meru area of northern Tanzania (Fig. 9 E, F) and A. usambaricus (Fig. 9 C, D) from the West Usambara Mountains syntopically occurring with A. discolor in the Mazumbai Forest Reserve and A. pseudodiscolor in Lutindi forest of the West Usambara Mountains, have also lappet-like processes on the 10 th abdominal margin but not as long as in A. discolor and A. pseudodiscolor. Further their colour patterns are very different from the co-occurring species in the West Usambaras and resemble more that of A. inopinatus n. sp. South Pare Mountains (Fig. 7). Habitat. Submontane to montane closed forest. Understory dweller found at night in trees and bushes. Recorded between 1600 – 2000 m. Distribution. Tanzania, South Pare Mountains (Shengena forest, Mt. Vumari and Mt Mwala). Etymology. The species is named after its colour pattern of many brown to black and white patches from Latin — maculatus, patchy.	en	Hemp, Claudia, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2019): New Agraeciini species from the Eastern Arc Mountains, East Africa (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae; Conocephalinae; Agraeciini).

Length of pronotum 6.0 – 6.6. Length of hind femur 11.6 – 11.7. Ovipositor 11.0 – 11.4. Song. The recorded male produced echemes with about four syllables at intervals of less than one second. See Fig. 39, 42 and Table 1 for details. Diagnosis. A. pommeri n. sp. morphologically belongs to the lineage found in the Pare and West Usambara Mountains (A. guttatus n. sp., A. maculatus n. sp., A. discolor, A. pseudodiscolor, A. magamba n. sp.). These species share a conspicuous colour pattern, especially in males, with patches of white, black, brown and green dorsal on the abdomen. The 10 th abdominal tergites are broad and divided into two lobes, often black at the anterior part and white to creamy at its posterior part. The male cerci are laterally compressed and consist of three branches. A. pommeri n. sp. is restricted to the Taita Hills of Kenya. It has the laterally most compressed and spread male cerci and a very contrasting colour pattern. From its colour pattern very similar to A. magamba n. sp. from Magamba Forest Reserve in the West Usambara Mountains. Both species are very colourful with a bright orange venter of the abdomen and the black fascia in the face is contrastingly bordered by white fasciae laterally (compare Figs. 18 D and 22 B). Females of A. pommeri n. sp. and A. magamba n. sp. may be distinguished when comparing the 10 th abdominal tergites and the subgenital plates. In A. magamba n. sp. the 10 th abdominal tergite is forming two acute lobes (Fig. 20 A) while it is undivided in A. pommeri n. sp. (Fig. 23 A). The subgenital plate is broadly u-shaped incised in A. magamba n. sp. (Fig. 20 B) while is is not as large incised in A. pommeri n. sp. (Fig. 23 B). Habitat. In understorey vegetation of closed montane forest. Recorded at 1600 m in the Ngangao Forest Reserve. Distribution. Only known from Ngangao Forest Reserve in the Taita Hills of Kenya. Etymology. Our colleague Ulf Pommer caught the first two males of this new species therefore named after him.	en	Hemp, Claudia, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2019): New Agraeciini species from the Eastern Arc Mountains, East Africa (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae; Conocephalinae; Agraeciini).

Description. Male. General coloration: brown to yellowish brown with faint dark median fascia from head over disc of pronotum (Fig. 24 A, C). Face uniformly yellowish to reddish brown (Fig. 24 D), tawny with reddish tinge in preserved specimen. Head and antennae. Fastigium verticis conical, strongly laterally compressed, shorter than scapus, green at ventral side. Antennae much longer than body. Thorax. Pronotum with almost smooth surface but densely covered by darker dots. Anterior margin and rear margin of lateral lobes tinged with green, remaining part brownish-yellowish with faint median dark fascia along dorsal side of pronotum. Prosternum bispinose; meso- and metasterna unarmed. Tegmina and wings shortened, reaching to end of abdominal tergite 4; stridulatory area distinctly projecting (Fig. 25 C). Stridulatory file on underside of left tegmen nearly straight and flat, broader in middle and narrowing towards its ends, about 1.2 mm long with roughly 200 densely set teeth (n = 1). Mirror area as in Fig. 25 D. Legs. Fore coxa with well developed rather stout spine. Fore femora with two stout black outer ventral spines unarmed on inner side. Mid and hind femora with three stout and black outer ventral spines, unarmed on inner side. Abdomen. Tenth abdominal tergite broad with median suture and incurved thus forming two lobes (Fig. 25 A). Supra-anal plate small. Male cerci with broad base, whitish and densely hairy. At inner base comparatively long inner spine, sclerotized with black acute tips. Posterior ends of male cerci divided into three spines, a blunt inner one and two long curved outer ones, all three spines sclerotized (Fig. 25 A). Subgenital plate as in Fig. 25 B, elongated with v-shaped median incision and short styli. Female. Unknown. Measurements, male (mm) (N = 1). Body length 31.4. Length of pronotum 7.9. Length of elytra 12.5. Length of hind femur 16.6. Song. The male produced relatively short (duration a few seconds) sequences of syllables (SRR ca. 25 Hz). See Fig. 40, 42 and Table 1 for details. Diagnosis. A comparatively large species with shortened tegmina that reach abdominal tergite 4 and thus distin- guished from species with tegmina that are about body length or longer (A. sansibara (Redtenbacher, 1891), A. pwania Hemp & Ingrisch, 2013, A. shimbaensis Hemp, 2013, A. kisarawe Hemp, 2017, A. mangula Hemp, 2017, A. nguruen- sis n. sp., A. jozani n. sp., and A. bifurcata n. sp.). Distinguished by A. panteli (Karny, 1907) and A. bloyeti (Brongniart, 1897) by longer tegmina since in the first two listed species the tegmina reach or hardly reach abdominal tergite 2 in males. A. panteli and A. bloyeti are also of much more fragile habitus and not as stout and large as A. flava n. sp. In the same mountains range A. mangula occurs. However, this species is typical for lowland forest not collected above submontane elevations up to now while A. flava. n. sp. was found in montane forest. A. brachyptera Hemp & Ingrisch, 2013, though a bit smaller and less stout in appearance than A. flava n. sp., also has abbreviated tegmina. However, the tegmina hardly reach the posterior margin of abdominal tergite 2. Further A. brachyptera has a conspicuous dark tri-angle shaped fascia on the face while the face in A. flava n. sp. is uniformly yellow-reddish brown. Habitat: In understorey vegetation of montane forest. Distribution. Tanzania, Udzungwa Mountains National Park, Gologolo Mountains. Etymology. Named after the overall yellow colouration from Latin — flavus = yellow. Remarks. Although we screened the area were the single male specimen of A. flava n. sp. was collected several times no further individuals of this species could be obtained. This indicates that A. flava n. sp. is probably a rare species and seems to be restricted to highest elevations of the Gologolo Mountains.	en	Hemp, Claudia, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2019): New Agraeciini species from the Eastern Arc Mountains, East Africa (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae; Conocephalinae; Agraeciini).

Further paratype material: 5 males, 7 females, 1 male nymph, same data as holotype and February 2017, June 2017 and January 2018. Depository: collection C. Hemp. Description. Male (Fig. 26 A). General habitus and coloration. Uniformly to mottled brown, most specimens with dark to light brown median fascia from head over disc of pronotum; face with black triangle as typical for most other species of Afroagraecia. Head and antennae. Fastigium verticis dorsally dark brown, conical, laterally compressed, shorter than scapus, tip acute. Cuticle of head slightly wrinkled, shining. Ocellus cream coloured. Antennae more than twice the length of body, thin, of brown reddish colour with irregular darker spots along length. Thorax. Pronotum in most individuals with brown to black median fascia, somewhat constricted on mesozona and then widening on metazona, sometimes interrupted or obsolete (Fig. 26 A). Anterior margin of pronotum rounded, posterior margin truncate; metazona slightly elevated. Lateral lobes of pronotum rounded, at height of metazona margin incurved. Prosternum bispinose; meso- and metasterna unarmed. Tegmina and wings slightly shorter than body length. Tegmina with numerous dark spots on light brown surface. Legs. Fore coxa with well-developed spine. As in A. mangula spination of femora variable, different numbers of spines were counted even within one individual between each pair of legs. Fore femora with 3 – 4 outer and 1 – 2 inner ventral spines; mid femora with mostly 3 (sometimes 4) outer ventral spines, inner side unarmed. Hind femora with 4 – 6 dark spines on outer ventral side, unarmed on inner side or with a tiny spine near joint with tibia in some individuals. Abdomen. Tenth abdominal tergite shield-like, posterior margin medially slightly incurved, cuticle shiny. Supra-anal plate finger-like elongated, basal half deeply sulcate, proximal part rounded. Male cerci with broad base, densely hairy and two inner processes (Fig. 27 A), the basal one blunt and longer than spine midway. Apices of cerci narrow ending in two acute black sclerotized spines. Subgenital plate elongate, posterior margin v-shaped incurved and with two short styli. Female. General coloration as in male. Slightly larger than male. Ovipositor long, slender and slightly up- curved (Fig. 26 B). Subgenital plate triangular with pointed apex (Fig. 29 A). Measurements, males (mm) (N = 5). Body length 24.4 – 29.1. Length of pronotum 6.9 – 7.9. Length of elytra 16.1 – 18.8. Length of hind femur 13.7 – 14.4. Measurements, females (mm) (N = 5). Body length 24.8 – 29.6. Length of pronotum 6.8 – 7.4. Length of elytra 19.5 – 21.5. Length of hind femur 15.2 – 16.3. Ovipositor length 14.5 – 16.8. Song. The recorded male produced relatively long (mean duration ca. 20 seconds) sequences of syllables (SRR ca. 19 Hz). See Fig. 40, 42 and Table 1 for details. Diagnosis. A long-winged species morphologically very similar to A. mangula Hemp, 2017. All specimens of A. mangula have a well developed dark fascia on the pronotum, often divided into four dark stripes on the metazona. In A. nguruensis n. sp. the pronotal fascia is not as well developed, often even obsolete. On the metazona the fascia is sometimes also divided into four stripes, as in A. mangula but mostly the fascia is obsolete on the metazona or reduced to small brown dots at the posterior margin of the pronotum. A. mangula is generally slightly larger in body size and stouter, especially the females. The tegmina are slightly longer in A. mangula compared to A. nguruensis n. sp. Differences are seen when comparing the male cerci. In A. nguruensis n. sp. the inner basal spine or process is blunt (Fig. 27 A) while it is short acute and sclerotized in A. mangula (Fig. 27 B). Also A. kisarawe is morphologically similar to A. mangula and A. nguruensis n. sp. However, A. kisarawe is a fragile and smaller species and the male cerci show differences, compared to A. mangula and A. nguruensis n. sp. (Fig. 27 C). In A. kisarawe both inner processes are thick and blunt, and may be reduced in some specimens. Differences between A. nguruensis n. sp. and A. mangula are also seen in the morphology of the tegmina — the shape of the stridulatory file (compare Fig. 28 A, C and D, F) and the mirror area (Fig. 28 B and E). Except for slight differences in general body size (A. mangula being slightly larger than A. nguruensis n. sp.) and differences in the expression of the pronotal fascia (mostly faint to obsolete in A. nguruensis n. sp.) females of both species are difficult to distinguish. But since A. mangula is restricted to the forested areas of the Udzungwa Mountains National Park and A. nguruensis n. sp. (compare Fig. 29 A – D) to the Nguru Mountains further north best distinguished by area of occurrence. Habitat. On branches and leaves on bushes and trees in understorey vegetation in closed forest. Distribution. Tanzania, submontane forest. Etymology. Named after the Nguru Mountains of Tanzania.	en	Hemp, Claudia, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2019): New Agraeciini species from the Eastern Arc Mountains, East Africa (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae; Conocephalinae; Agraeciini).

Depository: collection C. Hemp. Description. Male. General habitus and coloration. Uniformly to tawny brown, with faint to obsolete brown median fascia from head over disc of pronotum; face uniformly brown to tawny, thus without typical tri-angle- shaped fascia; tegmina with numerous dark dots and tiny small patches. Head and antennae. Fastigium verticis brown above, tawny below, laterally compressed, about half of length of scapus. Cuticle of head smooth, shining, with few wrinkles. Ocellus of same colour than remaining face. Antennae more than twice the length of body, thin, dark with few irregular light markings along length. Thorax. Pronotum with faint brown median fascia, this fascia missing in some individuals. Anterior margin of pronotum rounded, posterior margin truncate; metazona slightly elevated. Lateral lobes of pronotum rounded, at height of metazona margin shallowly incurved. Prosternum bispinose with short rather blunt spines; meso- and metasterna unarmed. Tegmina and wings much longer than body length, surpassing body by about 1 / 3. Tegmina with numerous dark spots on creamy brown background. Legs. Fore coxa with well-developed spine. Fore and mid femora with 3 (2) outer ventral spines, unarmed on inner side. Hind femora with 4 – 6 outer and no inner ventral spines. Abdomen. Tenth abdominal tergite shield-like, posterior margin medially slightly incurved, cuticle shiny. Supra-anal plate finger-like elongated, sulcate (Fig. 32 B). Male cerci differentiated into a inner shield-like expanded part ending in an almost narrow curling band-like process (Fig. 32 B, F) and an outer branch. Beside the band-like process another additional finger-like process with a sclerotized acute tip is present on the inner basal part (Fig. 32 F, arrow). The outer branch is divided into two branches. The inner branch is shorter, the outer longer and more acute (Fig. 32 D). On the outer branch a small inner and a stouter outer dent is present giving the whole outer branch of the cercus a spiny appearance. Female. General coloration as in male. Slightly larger than male with long tegmina surpassing the body by about 1 / 3 but shorter than ovipositor. Ovipositor long, slender and slightly up-curved. Subgenital plate narrow elongated, sulcate (Fig. 34 A). Measurements, male (mm) (N = 4). Body length 20.7 – 21.8. Length of pronotum 5.6 – 5.8. Length of elytra 20.1 – 20.9. Length of hind femur 11.2 – 12.1. Measurements, female (mm) (N = 4). Body length 20.6 – 22.7. Length of pronotum 5.6 – 6.2. Length of elytra 22.5 – 23.3. Length of hind femur 13.3 – 14.4. Ovipositor length 12.9 – 14.8. Diagnosis. 2 species are found syntopically each on Zanzibar and in Kazimzumbwi Forest Reserve. While A. sansibara (Redtenbacher, 1891) from Zanzibar and A. kisarawe from Kazimzumbwi Forest Reserve are morphological sister pairs, A. jozani n. sp. from Zanzibar and A. furcata n. sp. from Kazimzumbwi Forest Reserve are morphological sister pairs. A. jozani n. sp. and A. furcata n. sp. have forked male cerci and an expanded shield-like basal part dorsally on the male cerci. In A. jozani n. sp. an inner finger-like process is lacking while it is present in A. furcata n. sp. on the mainland (Fig. 32 E, F, arrow). Differences are also found in the outer branch of the male cerci, A. furcata n. sp. having additional small dents, lacking in A. jozani n. sp. from Zanzibar. These two new species are well distinguished from the syntopically occurring species A. sansibara and A. kisarawe with completely different shaped male cerci (compare Fig. 33 A – D). A. jozani n. sp. is further easily recognized in the field by its pitch black fascia in both sexes on head and pronotum, lacking or being brown in the other three species of the area. A. jozani n. sp. has the typical tri-angle shaped black fascia on the face lacking in A. furcata n. sp. (but also being present in A. kisarawe and A. sansibara). A. kisarawe and A. sansibara are morphologically very similar. In A. kisarawe the inner basal dent on the male cerci is sometimes missing (e. g. in the holotype) while being well expressed in A. sansibara (arrows in in Fig. 33). A. sansibara is also of larger body size than the comparatively small A. kisarawe. Females of A. jozani n. sp. and A. furcata n. sp. may be distinguished by the pitch black fascia on head on pronotum in A. jozani n. sp., being brown or missing in A. furcata n. sp. from the mainland and the tri-angle shaped black fascia on the face in A. jozani n. sp. missing in A. furcata n. sp. (as in males). Both species, however, are similar in body size and share a narrow sulcate subgenital plate (Fig. 34 A, B). They may be well distinguished from the syntopic occurring Afroagraecia species, A. kisarawe and A. sansibara, having a tiny tri-angle shaped subgenital plate (Fig. 34 C, D). Habitat. On branches and leaves on bushes and trees in forest. Distribution. Tanzania, Kazimzumbwi Forest Reserve. Etymology. From latin — furca, fork, because of the forked male cerci.	en	Hemp, Claudia, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2019): New Agraeciini species from the Eastern Arc Mountains, East Africa (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae; Conocephalinae; Agraeciini).

Tanzania, Nguru Mountains, montane forest, March 2019. 5 females, same data as holotype but February 2017, March 2017 and July 2017. Depository: collection C. Hemp. Description. Male. Habitus and colour. Plump medium-sized insect, predominantly leaf green with brown-red- dish broad fascia on margins where tegmina meet medially. Remaining part of tegmina with net-like pattern of dark green veins on light green ground. Pronotum with 6 longish dark dots on cream coloured ground arranged in pairs (Fig. 35 A, C). Eyes light. Head and antennae. Face broad, predominantly of whitish to green colour. Antennae cream coloured with scapus and first antennal segment green. Fore and mid femora with 4 stout spines ventro-an- teriorly, white, with black tips. Hind femora with 8 broad-based spines ventro-anteriorly along whole length and 4 stout spines near joints to tibiae ventro-posteriorly. Stridulatory file with about 150 teeth on 3.2 mm, in the middle tooth interval 22 µm (45 teeth / mm). Abdomen. Last abdominal tergite broad with almost straight posterior margin with a median depression. Cerci vertically flattened, with a blunt outer branch and an inner branch with up-lifted sclerotized tip (Fig. 36 B). Subgenital plate broad, posterior margin v-shaped incised, with thin styli. Female. Similar in habitus and colour as male with same spination. Ovipositor long, slightly up-curved with smooth sclerotized valves (Fig. 35 B, D). Subgenital plate with median rectangular incision on posterior margin and lateral edges since sheathing central knob-like structure (Fig. 37 C, D). Nymph. Similar to adult, L 4 nymphs were successfully reared to adults (Fig. 38). Measurements, males (mm) (N = 1). Total length of body (including cerci): 27; median length of pronotum 15; length of hind femur 15.5; length of tegmina 20. Measurements, females (mm) (N = 4). Total length of body 24.6 – 30.2; Median length of pronotum 11.2 – 12.1; Length of hind femur 16.5 – 17.7; Length of elytra 21.2 – 23.2; Length of ovipositor 14.1 – 16.8. Song. As in the other species of Dendrobia, the male sang very rarely. The song was clearly audible with the human ear. It produced often only one group of echemes per day (continously monitored). These sounds were registered in the late afternoon or in the morning. The echemes had a mean duration of 1.4 s, distinctly longer than in the other two species (see Fig. 41) and period of 2.2 seconds (n = 5 / 7) with a SRR of about 19 Hz. The peak of the carrier frequency was with about 7 kHz even slightly lower than in the other Dendrobia species. See Fig. 41, 42 and Table 1 for details. Diagnosis. D. plagata n. sp. is characterized by its net-like pattern on the tegmina, both in the male and the known females compared to D. amaniensis Hemp & Ingrisch, 2017 from the East Usambara Mountains and D. octopunctata Hemp, 2017 from the Udzungwa Mountains being of more uniform green colour. The median reddish stripe is more conspicuous red and broad in D. plagata n. sp. compared to the other two species. The male cerci are vertically flattened and thus very different from the bulbous cerci of D. octopunctata (Fig. 36 C) but similar to the genitalic apparatus found in D. amaniensis (Fig. 36 A). The latter species also has vertically flattened male cerci but the branches are differently shaped (compare Fig 36 A and B). D. plagata n. sp. has an inner branch of the male cerci up-lifted while the male cerci in D. amaniensis are more flattened and shovel-like expanded but the inner tips of the cerci are not or only very slightly up-lifted. The females of all three known species have a similar subgenital plate with a central knob-like structure on the ovipositor sheathed by the subgenital plate (Fig. 37 A – D). Differences are found in the size of the median incision and the lateral processes caused by the central knob-like structure. However, females are best identified with associate males and their area of occurrence since all three species are restricted to single mountain ranges of the Eastern Arc chain. Biology. Dweller of the tree canopy. Probably predaceous, in captivity feeding on fruit, cereals and insect parts. Habitat. Submontane to montane forest. Distribution. Tanzania, Nguru Mountains. Etymology. From Latin: — plaga, net because of the net-like pattern on the tegmina.	en	Hemp, Claudia, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard (2019): New Agraeciini species from the Eastern Arc Mountains, East Africa (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae; Conocephalinae; Agraeciini).
