Genus Zulpha Walker, 1870 Zulpha Walker, 1870: 478; Kirby, 1906: 408; Karny, 1923: 138; Kanget al., 2014: 451. Eurypalpa Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878: 141; Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1891: 9; Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893: 168; Kirby, 1906: 408 syn. Synonym: Eurypalpa Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878 Type species: Phaneroptera perlaria Westwood, 1848 Redescription. Medium-sized for mimetic-bark katydids. Head and pronotum rugulose with numerous punctuations. Head long, ovoid, smooth. Compound eyes large, rounded, bulging. Prognathous. Maxillae palpus developed; last segment greatly enlarged and flattened. Antennae slender, long, almost as long as body. Pronotum saddle-shaped; posterior margin of disc elongated; lateral lobe of pronotum with obtusely triangular posterior margin. All legs normal. Pro- and meso-tibiae with inner spines, hind tibiae with dorsal spines on each side. Tympanal organ on anterior tibiae open on both sides. Tegmina long, narrow, knife-shaped, with obliquely truncated apex; veinlets interlaced, constituting snowflakelike venation. Hind wings longer than tegmina. Hind wings blackish violet, with white venation, scattered with round rose spots. Male cerci long, densely hairy, clavate, incurved, with blunt tip. Subgenital plate trapezoidal, with small Vshaped notch. Styli tiny, finger-shaped. Epiproct simple. Male genitalia membranous, without sclerotized structure. Female similar to male. Cerci conical, densely hairy. Ovipositor strong, falcate, with distinct teeth on dorsal and ventral margins. Notes. The males of this genus seem to call only sporadically, and we could not record the sounds in the field. Included species: Z. perlaria (Westwood), Z. ruohua Wu, Zhang & Liu sp. nov. and Z. fenghuang Wu & Liu sp. nov. Distribution. The genus is distributed in tropical forests of South Asia.
