Eulophophyllum is a genus of leaf mimicking 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. thaumasium 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:

  1. Eulophophyllum thaumasium Hebard, 1922
  2. Eulophophyllum lobulatum Ingrisch & Riede, 2016
  3. Eulophophyllum kirki Ingrisch & Riede, 2016
