title: Redescription of Libanasa brachyura Karny, 1928. (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae: ?Lutosinae) from Tanzania and problems at the subfamily level.
abstract: Libanasa brachyura Karny, 1928 is resurrected and redescribed. Morphological details are added which now question its placement in the Lutosinae, and this in turn questions the subfamily arrangements as a whole. New characters are introduced for future comparison with other genera. Some details of its biology are also added.
