Eulophophyllum is a genus of leaf mimicing bush crickets or katydids in the subfamily Phaneropterinae. It was originally circumscribed in 1922 by Morgan Hebard as a monospecific genus for the species E. thaumasium, [1] but two new species were described and added to the genus in 2016.

Species

The type species E. thaumasi was found originally in Labuan island, [1] with the other species recorded from Sabah; E. lobulatum appears to be endemic to Mount Kinabalu where there is National Park protection. [2] The Orthoptera Species File [3] currently lists:
