Abstract

Karny (1912) proposed Copiphorini tribe within the subfamily Conocephalinae, family Tettigoniidae. Copiphorini is now one of the seven tribes of Conocephalinae. The members of this tribe are characterized by notched frons and a slanting head shape. This is the first study of the tribe in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The specimens which were examined for this study were collected in Kashmir from August 2019 to September 2021. During the survey, two genera and four species including a new species, Euconocephalus farooqi sp. nov. were reported. Brief discussion about morphology and distribution of new and first records are given. The holotype of new the species has been deposited in the museum of Zoology Department, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh India.
