Unterlagen für eine Monographie der Saginae. I. Superrevision der Gattung Saga Charpentier (Saltatoria: Tettigoniidae).

Abstract

According to the super-revision made by the author, the genus Saga Charpentier includes three groups of species with 13 clearly distinguishable species and two subspecies. Three of these species are new and two species are rehabilitated. Three species recorded in the revision made by Ramme in 1951 are recognized as synonyms of previously described species. All reports of male of S. pedo (Pallas) that could be checked turned out to be mistaken identifications; only the female of this widely distributed species is known. New keys for the determination of Saga male and female are established. The detailed part of the paper presents each species with original reference, synonymy, description, differential diagnosis and comprehensive data about its distribution.
