Two new records of Katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Conocephalinae) from the Dominican Republic, Hispaniola

Abstract

The conocephaline katydids Erechthis gundlachi Bolívar, 1888 and Pyrgocorypha uncinata (Harris, 1841) are recorded for the first time from the Dominican Republic and the island of Hispaniola. Both species were previously known from Cuba, although P. uncinata is also distributed in the southeastern United States.
