Griffiniana duplessisae, or Duplessis' agile katydid, is a species of katydid in the subfamily Phaneropterinae. It is endemic to Cederberg Mountains in South Africa. [1]
The Nihoa conehead katydid is a species of katydid which is endemic to the Hawaiian island of Nihoa. It is one of the ten species in the genus Banza, all of them native to Hawaii, although it is the sister species to the remaining nine, and may belong in a separate genus. It gets its food mostly from plant leaves, but because of the low population, it does not do significant damage. Unlike Main Islands' species, whose males leap on the females before mating, the Nihoa variants sing to them. It is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List, and as a "species of concern" under the Endangered Species Act.
Neduba extincta, the Antioch Dunes shieldback katydid, is an extinct species of katydid that was endemic to California, United States. It was not discovered until after its extinction.
The long-legged armoured katydid is a species of katydid found in Namibia, and also in the northern portion of Northern Cape Province, South Africa, and southern Angola. It may possibly occur in Botswana. It is found in semi-arid and arid habitats, including the Kalahari Desert and the Namib Desert. It is threatened by habitat destruction, but is widespread and is not considered to be endangered.
The Richtersveld katydid is a species of katydid that is endemic to the Richtersveld National Park in South Africa. It occurs in semi-arid habitats of the Karoo biotope. It is threatened by livestock grazing and climate change.
The antlered thorny katydid is a species of katydid that is found in South Africa and Namibia. It can be found in semi-arid and arid habitats, including the Kalahari Desert, the Namib Desert, and in the Karoo and Fynbos biomes.

Alfred's shieldback is a species of katydid that is widespread in the Western Cape and Eastern Cape of South Africa. It is found in lowland and coastal fynbos, up to 1400 m elevation. It is threatened with habitat destruction, but can be found in protected areas such as Baviaanskloof Mega Reserve and Tsitsikamma National Park.
The Marakele delicate katydid is a species of bush cricket or katydid orthopteran that is endemic to Marakele National Park in Limpopo Province, South Africa. It can be found within savanna and grassland biomes, and feeds on flowers and grass seeds, particularly Guinea grass. Because of its limited distribution, the IUCN considers it to be vulnerable to extinction, and is threatened by microclimatic changes.
Mecopodinae, the long-legged katydids, are a subfamily of bush crickets found in western South America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia. In Asia, the distribution includes India, Indochina, Japan, the Philippines, and Malesia to Papua New Guinea and Australasia, including many Pacific islands.
Olszanowski's black-kneed katydid is a species of katydid that is endemic to the Western Cape and Northern Cape provinces of South Africa. It is mostly found in fynbos, but it can also be found in succulent and Nama Karoo biomes. Most records are from between 700 and 1,000 m.
Sopatas' black-kneed katydid is a species of katydid that is endemic to the Klein karoo biome of Western Cape province in South Africa. It is threatened by overgrazing by livestock and changes in weather patterns affecting its microhabitat.
The dilated false shieldback is a species of katydid that is only known from the Mariepskop Forest in Mpumalanga province, South Africa.
The black-spotted false shieldback is a species of katydid that is only known from the male holotype collected from Mpumalanga, South Africa. It is threatened by livestock grazing and changing weather patterns disturbing its microhabitat.
The Cozumelan golden bat is a bat species from Central and northern South America. It is found in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia. At one time this species was considered to be a subspecies of the golden bat. Little is known about the biology of this bat but it has a wide range, no particular threats have been identified and the population seems steady, so the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".
The Blue-legged Sylvan Katydid is a species of katydid, endemic to the South Africa region. IUCN classes it as Least concern due to its widespread distribution.
Aprosphylus hybridus, the Namibian black-kneed katydid, is a species of katydid that is endemic to southern Namibia.
