Abstract
Katydids (also known as ‘long-horned grasshoppers’ or ‘bush-crickets’, amidst a variety of other common names that may infer spurious relationships with other groups of Orthoptera) are the members of the distinctive family Tettigoniidae, one of the largest families in the order and with a rich Australian fauna exceeding a thousand species. David Rentz is acknowledged globally as the leading authority on these insects, and is a prolific writer on their systematics; his projected series of monographs on the family in Australia was unfortunately curtailed after only three volumes (Rentz 1985, 1993, 2001) but was accompanied by an eminently readable wide-ranging account of Australia’s orthopteroids as ‘Grasshopper Country’ (Rentz 1996), and he has continued to describe and document the fauna since then.
