Examined material. IRAN, East Azerbaijan province: 10 ♂ 6 ♀, Kaleybar, Vaighan, 38°51′N 47°02′E, 1000 m, 23.v.2004, leg. E. Gilasian; Golestan province: 1 ♀, Golestan National Park, Tang-e Gol, 37°23′N 55°48′E, 700 m, 9.v.1999, leg. M. Moghaddam / Sh. Manzari / H. Barari; Hamedan province: 1 ♀, Hamedan, Moradbeyk, 34°48′N 48°30′E, 2380 m, 22.v.2004, leg. E. Gilasian.
Remarks. Cheilosia vicina can be distinguished from other similar Cheilosia species by the following combination of characters: eye bare, eye margin narrow; female frons pollinose, narrower than an eye in dorsal view; face bare, less projected and broadened (in male) ventrally; flagellum black; arista pubescent; scutum entirely shiny black in male, generally covered with black pile and in female with short appressed pile; in female, scutellum with two pairs of long black setae on posterior margin; legs entirely black; male genitalia as in Barkalov & Ståhls (1997: figure 37A–C).
Cheilosia vicina is widely distributed in Europe, but it is not recorded from other parts of the Palaearctic region. The specimens of the present study represent the first record of C. vicina from the Middle East (Speight 2016).

Remarks. The species C. ranunculi can be separated from other Criorhina species by the following combination of characters: katepimeron pilose; scutum and basal half of abdomen covered with blackish pile; hind femur strongly enlarged and swollen; hind tibia distinctly swollen; abdominal tergites lacking transverse fasciae of pollinosity; male genitalia as in Vujić & Milankov (1999: figure 1). The genus Criorhina was first recorded from Iran by Van Steenis & Gharali (2015) as C. portschinskyi (Stackelberg, 1955). In the present study, both Iranian species of Criorhina were found: C. portschinskyi, in May, in the north of Elburz Mountains, at low altitudes, near the Caucasus (western Iran), and C. ranunculi, in Turkmenistan (eastern Iran). In the Palaearctic region, C. ranunculi is widely distributed in Europe eastwards to European parts of Russia (Vujić & Milankov 1999; Speight 2016).

Remarks. Neoascia annexa can be distinguished from other Neoascia species by the following combination of characters: metapleuron closed, with a complete bridge behind hind coxae; protarsomeres 4–5 yellow; wing without transverse brownish stripe along veins M1 and dm–cu; abdominal tergite 2 with a pair of yellowish-orange maculae mediolaterally; tergite 3 with a wide transverse yellowish-orange stripe that evenly reaches the lateral margin; tergite 4 without yellow maculae laterally; abdominal sternite 8 (pregenital segment) in male with blackish pile; hypandrium wide in lateral view (narrow in N. inexpectata Hauser, 1998); surstylus without distinct extension anteriorly. Although the yellow pattern on tergite 2 differs from that represented in Barkemeyer & Claussen (1986: figure 6), the male genitalia components match exactly those illustrated in Barkemeyer & Claussen (1986: figure 8) and in Claussen & Hayat (1997: figure 7). This species was collected on the southern slopes of central regions of Elburz Mountains. It is widely distributed in Europe eastwards to Russia and Transcaucasia (Krpač et al. 2001; Sarıbıyık 2014).

Remarks. This is the first record of the genus Pseudodoros Becker, 1903 from Iran. P. nigricollis species can be identified by the following combination of characters: eye bare; median facial black vitta narrower than flagellum; metasternum bare; postmetacoxal bridge incomplete; fore and mid tibiae predominantly yellow, with a median short black ring; abdominal tergites 2–4 with a pair of yellowish lateral maculae.
This genus, which has three species of two subgenera (Dioprosopa and Pseudodoros), is restricted to the Nearctic and Afrotropical regions as well as the Eastern Mediterranean countries. Pseudodoros (Pseudodoros) nigricollis, which was recently recorded from Cyprus, occurs only in the Afrotropical and Palaearctic regions (Peck 1988; Kassebeer 2000; Van Eck & Makris 2016).

Corycoides greeffi (Krauss, 1890) syn. n.
Bolivar 1890: Corycus paradoxus Bolivar, 1890
Krauss 1890: Corycus greeffi Krauss, 1890
Corycoides paradoxus (Bolivar, 1890) and Corycoides greeffi (Krauss, 1890) were considered to be synonymous as already stated by Redtenbacher (1892). Both species were described in the same year, but Bolivar's paper appeared in March 1890 and that of Krauss in July 1890, so C. paradoxus has priority. The holotype and only known specimen of C. paradoxus is obviously lost (Paris 1994). Also the holotype of C. greeffi seemed to be lost, and Weidner (1966) selected a lectotype from the type series, but another specimen from the type series has been discovered in SMNS with the labels " C. greeffi Krss. Type! Fig. 5 ", “Rotas Dec. [18]86" and “Typus” (Holstein & Ingrisch 2004).
Since the description of the species no further material has been found. We have visited the type locality of C. greeffi, the Rolas Islands, but the place is largely converted to a cocos palm plantation and the vegetation very different from that described by Greeff (1882). An inhabitant of the islands used a word like "fini"(=finished) in French as we showed him a photo of a specimen of Corycoides. Whatever it means and if he had really information about the species, it is certainly not common on the island if it should still exist there at all. Greef (1884) writes that he had heard its loud song also on the main island of São Tomé at night. Opposite to Rolas Islands we did not hear anything alike at nighttime. In ETHZ we found one specimen (Fig. 2 A, B), probably collected in 1970 by Vittorio Delucchi who had a mission of the International Organisation for Biological Control (IOBC) in São Tomé at that time. So at least at that time the species was not extinct. It is obviously a tree living species and difficult to catch (Greeff 1884), perhaps present in Obo National Park. The original lowland rainforest, however, may be completely destroyed almost everywhere (Brühl, 1993).

Redtenbacher (1892) described a female from São Tomé with a long ovipositor (17.5 mm compared to 11 mm in C. paradoxus; Fig. 2 C) and a coloration similar to a congeneric species from mainland Africa as a new species. The species was never found again. Interestingly, on the island of Bioko also two Corycoides species with differing coloration have been found (Griffini, 1906).

New record for the island of São Tomé and the state São Tomé and Príncipe
2 first instar nymphs, SAO TOME & PRINCIPE: São Tomé, Praia Inhame Eco Lodge (0°01'N, 6°30'E), 20 m a.s.l., 1–2 v 2018, leg. Martina Heller & Marianne Volleth; one female (CH 8569) became adult.
According to the morphological characters, mainly the strongly reduced ovipositor (Fig. 3 A), the female at hand belongs to the tribe Catoptropterigini, established by Massa (2016), and here to the genus Catoptropteryx Karsch. This genus was revised by Huxley (1970). Using the information presented there the specimen may belong to the West African (Sierra Leone to Ghana) species C. naevia. Black markings along the edges of the pronotum (Fig. 4 A) are found only in a few species; nana Huxley 1970, capreola (Karsch), naevia Huxley, 1970, ambigua Huxley, 1970, punctulata (Karsch), extensipes (Karsch) and capreola. Our specimen differs from C. nana in size, from ambigua and extensipes in coloration and from punctulata in shape of the ovipositor. In the coloration of the spinules of the hind femora the female (Fig. 3 B) from São Tomé is clearly more similar to C. naevia than to the widespread capreola. It is also slightly larger than capreola. Both species can easily be separated by the number of teeth in the male stridulatory file. So for final clarification—if it is one of these two or a separate species—the study of male specimens is necessary.
The female bears only one strong stridulatory vein on the upper side of the right wing (Fig. 3 C), uncommon in Phaneropterinae, but found e.g., in Parapyrrhicia (Hemp et al. 2017) and some Anaulacomera (Heller et al. 2019). In all other Catoptropteryx species the state of this character is unknown. In. C. aurita Huxley, 1970, however, the right tegmen of the female has about ten stridulatory veins (photos by C. Hemp).
Interestingly the small nymphs of this species showed unexpected black and colorful blue-green markings, especially at the head (Fig. 4 B, C). Such markings are at the moment known only from nymphs of Debrona cervina Walker (Hemp, in prep.), another species (and genus) with a strongly reduced ovipositor, currently placed in Otiaphysini. In further nymphal stages these markings become weaker and disappear nearly completely. The black color of paranota in the nymphs is reduced to a dark line in (sub)subadults (Fig. 4 D, E). Otherwise the nymphs are nearly completely green.
Measurements (in mm). Length of pronotum 4.5, hind femora 22, tegmina 31, ovipositor 2.6, width of tegmina 6.5.

Griffini 1906: Eurycorypha securifera Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878
Krauss (1890) described the species E. aequatorialis from one female, collected on Rolas Islands (holotype lost, see above). According to the text, it is quite similar to E. securifera, known at that time only from males, and differs only in the number of spines on the lower side of the hind legs (2 on both sides in securifera and 11/7 and 4/ 1 (left/right leg) in aequatorialis). Griffini (1906) identified a male, collected by Fea in Ribeira Palma (near Neves) on São Tomé with some doubts as E. securifera (this specimen is figured by Massa 2017a, Massa, pers. comm). We assume that both specimens belong to the same species. During a visit in NMW we tried to find the type of E. securifera, but could not find it. It is not registered in the catalogue of the museum nor is there any indication for it in the box where the other Eurycorypha species are stored. Giglio-Tos (1907) described a specimen from Madimba/ Congo as male of E. aequatorialis (figured in Massa 2017a). However, it is by no means clear that it belongs to this species (see also comments in Massa 2017b). The same is true for the record of one female from Lolodorf/ Cameroon by Bruner (1920). Only topotypical material of both species can solve the problem.
We could not find any information supporting the idea that the holotype has ever been in SMNS as mentioned by Otte (1997) instead of in Marburg as indicated by Krauss (1890) (see also Holstein & Ingrisch 2004).

New record for the island of Príncipe and the state São Tomé and Príncipe. To find this widespread species (see Ragge 1956) also in Príncipe was not very unexpected. It was relatively common there, perhaps even sometimes the most common tettigoniid. However, we did not see it in São Tomé. Surprisingly Burr (1927) mentions it neither for Príncipe nor for São Tomé. So it should be not excluded that it arrived in Príncipe relatively recently.

We did not find nor hear it on São Tomé.

http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Orthoptera.speciesfile.org:TaxonName:xxxxxx
Type species: Adapantus affluens Naskrecki, 2008a Diagnosis. Differs from the nominal subgenus by the presence of a weak stridulatory vein and by missing a mirrorlike structure in the left tegmen (compare Fig. 7 C, D, and E, F). According to the figures of Adenes obesus in OSFO, in the sister genus Adenes both characters are similar to A. (Adapantus). The related genus Mormotus Karsch, 1890, however, has no left mirror and a weak stridulatory vein (see figures in Naskrecki 2008a), thus being similar to Neoadapantus.
Included species: affluens Naskrecki, 2008a, angulatus Naskrecki, 2008a, pragerorum Naskrecki, 2008a, marmoratus Chopard, 1954, nitens (Chopard 1954) (the last two as far as it can be judged by the photos in OSFO). Unassignable to subgenera: A. castaneus Beier, 1954 (no information about character state in male available).

Chopard 1958; Xiphidiopsis insularis Chopard, 1958
Chopard (1958) described the new species Xiphidiopsis insularis from Roca Infante Dom Henrique in Príncipe (one male, three females). It was transferred by Beier (1966) into the "rather poorly defined genus" (Naskrecki 2008b) Proamytta. This placement was confirmed by Naskrecki (2008b) who studied also the types. We include here provisionally the specimens identified with some doubts as Amytta occidentalis by Griffini (1906). These animals (one male and two females) were collected at exactly the same locality as Chopard's specimens and do not differ in any body dimensions (length of body, hind legs, tegmina, ovipositor). Griffini's specimens and the species were not mentioned by Chopard (1958) when describing his new Meconematine species. Griffini's material was also not studied in the revisions of Beier (1965) and Naskrecki (2008b). So the identity of Griffini's specimens has to be re-checked, but in our opinion is very likely that they belong to P. insularis.
