Forest Coverage

The state of knowledge on sylvan katydids (Tettigoniidae, Pseudophyllinae) of Guinean Forests of West Africa hotspot is discussed. Based on published data on their distribution, and the extent of the current forest coverage of the region it is possible that some of the West African species of the Pseudophyllinae may be threatened or even extinct. Five new species are described (Adapantus affluens sp. nov., A. angulatus sp. nov., A. pragerorurm sp. nov., Tomias gerriesmithae sp. nov., and Mormotus alonsae sp. nov.), and 4 species of West African Pseudophyllinae are redescribed.

A New Species

Under the principle of priority, Memecylon liberiae is the correct name for the West African species previously known as M. aylmeri. A lectotype is designated for M. liberiae from the original material rediscovered in the Berlin herbarium. Use of the neotype designated by Jacques-Félix must therefore be abandoned. A new species M. emancipatum is proposed to replace M. liberiae sensu Jacques-Félix. A revised identification key is provided for the West African species of Memecylon sensu stricto.
