Twenty species are recorded from SW of Turkey. One new species, Eupholidoptera abscondita sp. nov., is described. An overlooked previous synonym of Eupholidoptera tucherti Harz, 1988 with E. krueperi (Ramme, 1930) is confirmed and Eupholidoptera helina Çıplak, 2009 is synonymized with E. smyrnensis (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1882). Twenty-one Eupholidoptera species from Turkey and the Middle East are compared with images of the female subgenital plates.

Being nocturnal, hiding in prickly bushes and shrubs during the day, species in Crete and its neighbouring islands are easily overlooked, and until now our knowledge about their distribution was based on some thirty sightings across 11 species. In this paper results are presented of a study of specimens collected between 1987 and 2020 by hand-catches and pitfall and fermenting traps on the Greek islands of Crete, Gavdos, Gavdopoula, and Andikithira. Diagnostic features of all known species are presented and illustrated with stacked images.

Seventeen endemic and three sub-endemic species belonging to three subfamilies of Tettigoniidae (Orthoptera: Bradyporinae, Phaneropterinae and Tettigoniinae) were sampled during field trips throughout different regions of Anatolia between 2015 and 2018 (except one taxon). Acoustic parameters of these 20 bush-cricket species affiliated to 12 genera (Apholidoptera, Bradyporus, Decticus, Eupholidoptera, Parapholidoptera, Pezodrymadusa, Pholidoptera, Polysarcus, Psorodonotus, Squamiana, Uvarovistia and Yalvaciana) have been described for the first time in this study. Bioacoustical analysis shows that male calling songs are species-specific for the genera Bradyporus, Parapholidoptera, Pholidoptera, Apholidoptera, Uvarovistia and Psorodonotus.

The third part of a study series on the family Tettigoniidae from Turkey and the Middle East Region is presented, which includes only the subfamily Tettigoniinae of Turkey. A key to tribes, genera and subgenera found in Turkey is proposed. The synonymy of the tribe Platycleidini Brunner, 1893 (with Decticini Herman, 1874) is confirmed.

The present study focused on the evolution of the karyotype in four genera of the tribe Pholidopterini: Mařan, 1953, Mařan, 1953, Wesmaël, 1838, Mařan, 1953. Chromosomes were analyzed using fluorescence hybridization (FISH) with 18S rDNA and (TTAGG) telomeric probes, and classical techniques, such as C-banding, silver impregnation and fluorochrome DAPI/CMA staining. Most species retained the ancestral diploid chromosome number 2n = 31 (male) or 32 (female), while some of the taxa, especially a group of species within genus , evolved a reduced chromosome number 2n = 29.
