Orophus tessellatus, the false leaf katydid, [2] is a species of katydid native to Mexico, Central America, and South America. [1] [3] It is in the large subfamily Phaneropterinae within the tribe Amblycoryphini. [1] Its coloring varies from brown to green, some with spots, mottling, or uniform in coloration. [4] The body length reaches 16 mm (0.63 in) in males and 22 mm (0.87 in) in females. The ovipositor is approximate 7 mm (0.28 in) in length. [3] The species is characterized by the size of the forewings and their "dirty" coloring. [3]
It was originally described in 1861 as Phylloptera (Orophus) tessellata. [5] The holotype is a female from Oaxaca, Mexico. [1] [5] It is part of the Orophus tessellatus species group, which also contains the species Orophus andinus and Orophus conspersus . [6]

Markia hystrix is a species of katydid in the subfamily Phaneropterinae. It occurs in highlands of western and central Colombia and in southern Panama, up to an altitude of at least 1,800 m (5,900 ft); although sometimes reported from elsewhere, this is due to confusion with other species in the genus Markia, all of which are known as lichen katydids. These highly spiny katydids are very well camouflaged, with colors and patterns that closely resemble the Usnea lichen upon which they live and feed. Adult M. hystrix have a length of about 4.5–5 cm (1.8–2.0 in) and show some variation in color depending on the exact color of the lichen in a region.
