Tettigoniinae Group

The remaining subfamilies in the Tettigonioid clade are found within the Tettigoniinae group. This group includes taxa currently listed under the subfamilies Listroscelidinae , Hetrodinae , Hexacentrinae , Meconematinae , Tettigoniinae , Lipotactinae, Bradyporinae , and Austrosaginae . The Tettigoniinae group can be further divided into two subclades. The first subclade ( Fig. 14 ) is composed of Australian and African lineages currently listed under Tettigoniinae , Hexacentrinae , and Hetrodinae , the Meconematinae tribes Phisidini and Meconematini , and the Listroscelidinae tribe Requenini . Sister to this cohort of smaller subfamilies and tribes are the Holarctic shieldback katydids ( Tettigoniinae ) and their closely related lineages ( Austrosaginae , Lipotactinae, the Bradyporinae tribe Ephippigerini , and the Listroscelidinae tribe Terpandrini ). The relationships between the smaller subfamilies and the Tettigoniinae have long been debated with current subfamilies being viewed as tribes within other subfamilies and various sister relationships as discussed below.
