Une Famille monogénérique... en France uniquement ?
Peut-être sous-prospectée, il y a probablement des trouvailles à faire

Family TETTIGOMETRIDAE :
Subfamily Tettigometrinae
Genus Mitricephalus Signoret
Genus Tettigometra Latreille
Genus Brachycephalus Signoret
Genus Eurychila Signoret
Subfamily Egropinae
Genus Hilda Kirkaldy
Genus Egropa Melichar
Genus Mesegropa Baker
Genus Nototettigometra Muir
Subfamily Megaloplastinxinae
Genus Megaloplastinx Schmidt
Genus Euphyonarthex Schmidt
Genus Tembandumba Distant
Genus Raatzbrockmannia Schmidt

Key to Tettigometridae Subfamilies & Tribes
1). In male sub-anal process overlooking male genitalia, gonostyli fused in an elongate boat-shaped lamina gonostyli plate with
distinct dorso-basal lateral lobes (absent in Apohila Bourgoin, 1986) on each side. In female, stemite VII with paired plates
separated by a single median membranous fold, genitalia externally reduced to a median fold. Afrotropical taxa. (= ex Hildinae
Fennah,1952).......................................................Nototettigometrinae Bourgoin nom. subst.
- Male sub-anal process absent. gonostyli distinct, distally hook-shaped, and connected by a lamina gonostyli shorter than gono-
styli. Female stemite VII with more than two plates, (a median ovivalvula), genitalia very reduced but small paired lobed pro-
cesses visible ......2

3). Head with eyes narrower than pronotum. Male genitalia massive; medioventral process of pygofer short, half length of lateral
lobes in ventral view; lamina gonostyli broad ......................................... .Egropinae Baker, 1924... 4
- Head with eyes broader than pronotum. Male genitalia hook-like: medioventral of pygofer almost as long as lateral lobes in
ventral view. East Africa taxa (Uganda) .. Phalixinae Ghauri, 1964
4). Male genitalia without lateral processes; lamina gonostyli distally bilobed. Female with ovivalvula trapezoidal, anteriorly
more than twice wider than lateral stemal VII plates. South East Asian taxa . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Egropini Baker 1924

5). Pygofer with developed broad medioventral process. Male with lamina gonostyli developed, distally free; genitalia without
periandrium, tube-like, long, without distal membranous endosoma. Female additional impair plate covering female genitalia

- No medioventral process of pygofer or narrowly reduced. Male with lamina gonostyli narrow, laterally connected to gonostyli;
genitalia with stirrup-shaped periandrium, not tube-like, with developed distal membranous endosoma. Female genitalia with
ovivalvula but without additional impair plate. Palaearctic species . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Tettigometrini Germar, 1821
