Eulophophyllum is a genus of leaf mimicing bush crickets or katydids in the subfamily Phaneropterinae. It was originally circumscribed in 1922 by Morgan Hebard as a monospecific genus for the species E. thaumasium,[1] but two new species were described and added to the genus in 2016.
Species[]
The type species E. thaumasi was found originally in Labuan island,[1] with the other species recorded from Sabah; E. lobulatum appears to be endemic to Mount Kinabalu where there is National Park protection.[2] The Orthoptera Species File[3] currently lists:
- Hebard, 1922
- Ingrisch & Riede, 2016
- Eulophophyllum kirki Ingrisch & Riede, 2016
