Article Synopsis
- The genus Bullacris, previously revised in 1965, requires an update due to new findings and the need for a male description of the species B. boschimana, based on morphological and acoustic evidence.
- This study utilized measurements from type specimens and museum collections, alongside acoustic signal analysis, to compare species and investigate genetic relationships through mitochondrial and nuclear DNA.
- Notable findings showed similarities among certain species (B. discolor with B. serrata, and B. intermedia with B. membracioides), suggesting possible spatial separation while highlighting the need for further geographic sampling to clarify their relationships.
The genus Moegistorhynchus Macquart is revised and its relationships are discussed. The genus is distributed across lowland and montane areas of the Western and Northern Cape provinces, extending from Cape Town (Western Cape province) in the south to Port Nolloth (Northern Cape province) in the north. Three new species are described from Western Cape specimens: Moegistorhynchus manningi sp.
