This undescribed katydid species (Pseudophyllinae: Teleutini) is so strange that it actually represents an entirely new genus to
science. Its unusually long, gangly legs are covered in sharp spines
which help to deter predators. Many katydids are sensitive to habitat
disturbance, and the species found on this expedition indicate the
region is pristine
