- Abstract
A new species of genus Tettigonia Linnaeus, 1758, Tettigonia chitralensis collected from Chitral Pakistan is described and illustrated. It is distinguishable from Tettigonia orientalis, Uvarov, 1923 and Tettigonia chinesis Willemse, 1933 by having the elongated ovipositor (33-33.5mm) in length and 3.3 times longer than the pronotum. This new species is distinguishable from its closely related species Tettigonia viridissima (Linnaeus, 1758) by "U" shaped markings at posterior sulcus of the pronotum and two thin spines on the ventral surface of the prothorax. Beside this, Tettigonia caudata (Charpentier, 1842) was constructed as new record for this region.
