A new subtribe of the tribe Phisidini from America and remarks on
the genus Arachnoscelis (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Meconematinae)
A new subtribe (Arachnoscelidina subtrib. nov.) and two new subgenera of the genus Arach-
noscelis Karny (Centrophisis subgen. nov. and Peruphisis subgen. nov.) are described.
All these taxa are distributed in America and probably belong to the tribe Phisidini of the katydid subfamily Meconematinae.
Some problems of taxonomy and morphology of the Arachnoscelidina are briefly discussed.
