RESUMO
A new species of Meconematini is described from Tabin Wildlife Reserve in eastern Sabah: Cercoteratura repens sp. nov. This is the first report of the genus Cercoteratura in Sabah. Two species of Phisidini, Carliphisis acutipennis (Carl, 1908) and Neophisis (Indophisis) longipennis Jin, 1992, are reported in eastern Sabah for the first time. The calling song of Neophisis (Indophisis) longipennis with a near-complete ultrasonic spectrum is also described.

New materials of the tribe Meconematini from Southeast Asia, Indo-Malayan and South Pacific region are examined. Systematic situation of the tribe is briefly discussed. Taxonomic comments, notes, and distribution pattern on related taxa and descriptions of new species are given. Totally 73 species involving 21 genera are recognized, in which 22 species referring 11 genera are new to science, 45 species are known, including 1 genus and 1 species with new status, 3 new descriptions of another sex, 2 new synonyms and 9 species with new combinations. New species, status and combinations are as follows:.

Katydids from the subfamily Meconematinae sing at ultrasonic frequencies. Owing that many of them are nocturnal, elusive and low in abundance (since they are predatory), there is a dearth of information on these katydids and their bioacoustics, especially for species in the understudied yet mega-diverse Southeast Asia. Recent orthopteran surveys in Laguna, Luzon Island in the Philippines led to the discovery of two interesting Meconematinae katydids. Based on the collection, we describe a new species of Phisidini: Neophisis (Indophisis) montealegrei sp. nov. We also describe the male for the first time and redescribe the female of Asiophlugis philippina. The ultrasonic calling songs of both Meconematinae are also recorded, analysed and described here.
