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.
Acilacris is a genus of shieldback katydids in the subfamily Meconematinae, found in southern Africa. It contains two subgenera, Acilacris and Aroegas, and nine species:
Africariola is a monotypic genus in the family Tettigoniidae found in southern Africa. The single species is A. longicauda, the Richtersveld katydid.
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.

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.

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 flat-necked shieldback is a species of shield-backed katydid that is endemic to the coastal forests and thickets of KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa. It is threatened by cultivation, mining and tourism.
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.
