title: An annotated checklist of the bush katydids (Orthoptera: Phaneropteridae: Phaneropterinae) from Singapore, including an illustrated key to species.
abstract: The Phaneropterinae, or commonly known as the bush katydids, are among the most speciose katydids in the world. The bush katydids have interesting life histories but little is known about species from Southeast Asia. The source of problem may lie in the lack of sampling and revised taxonomic knowledge. The paper reports a species checklist of Phaneropterinae from Singapore. In total, 30 species were recorded from Singapore, eight of which may be locally extinct. Each species was also annotated with known life history information or taxonomic remarks, whenever possible. The female of Phaulula malayica was also described for the first time. An illustrated key to species from Singapore was also provided to assist in species identification.
