Unterlagen für eine Monographie der Saginae. III. Die Saginae der äthiopischen Region (Saltatoria: Tettigoniidae).

Abstract

The subfamily Saginae occurs in the Ethiopian region with three genera including 26 known species. Hemiclonia Kirby can maintained only as a subgenus of Clonia Stal. Cloniella was established as a new genus with Hemisaga praedatoria Distant as typus generis and Leptoclonia and Xanthoclonia were established as subgenera of the genus Clonia Stal. 11 species of the genus Clonia, one species of Cloniella and one species of Peringueyella were newly discovered. The special part of the paper contains keys and detailed diagnoses for alll genera, subgenera and species. In the final section an attempt is made to trace the chief directions of the spreading of the African Saginae by means of orthevolutiver trends.
