A list of 60 species of the Tettigoniidae (Orthoptera) recorded from Gorongosa National Park and provinces Sofala and Manica in central Mozambique is provided and their natural history is discussed. Of these, 58 species are illustrated and bioacoustic data are presented for 47 species. Two new genera and 9 new species are described: Gorongosa carri gen. et sp. n., Ovonotus abreuae gen. et sp. n., Afroagraecia muagurai sp. n., Enyaliopsis iaculator sp. n., Eurycorypha parkeri sp. n., Eurycorypha stalmansi sp. n., Eulioptera carolli sp. n., Eulioptera mutembai sp. n., and Parpyrrhicia guytonae sp. n. Four species of Ruspolia are recognized as potentially new and their bioacoustic data are presented. Pseudorhynchus pungens meridionalis Ragge, 1969 is synonymized with Pseudorhynchus pungens pungens (Schaum, 1853); Angustithorax spiniger Massa, 2015 is synonymized with Oxyecous magnus Ragge, 1956; and the synonymy of Lanista africana (Walker, 1870) with Lanista annulicornis (Walker, 1869) is reversed. Two species, G. carri and O. abreuae, appear to be endemic to Mt. Gorongosa and 24 species are recorded for the first time from Mozambique.

In burnt coastal grasslands, fire-disturbed forest remnants, and undisturbed coastal forests of the Pangani area (Tanzania) 61 Saltatoria species were recorded. Comparing open-land habitats with forest and forest edge habitats, diver- sity rises in open-land habitats, as nearly 60% of the recorded species were found within grasslands. However, the share of endemic and near-endemic species decreases, as only 5% of the species occurring in open-land habitats were endemics, 14% are distributed throughout East Africa, and the majority (81%) are widespread forms. Forest and forest edge habitats, on the other hand, had 60% endemic species, 32% species restricted to East Africa, and only 8% widespread Saltatoria. The majority of the coastal endemics are highly endangered by the ongoing destruction of indigenous forest. Tangana asymmetrica was one of the few coastal endemics that also occurred in fire-influenced forest remnants, while most other forest species were exclusively found in closed undisturbed forest communities of the Gendagenda forest reserve. The new record of Parepistaurus pygmaeus in the Gendagenda reserve offers an explanation of the hitherto disjunct distribution of this flightless species.

Cicadas have been shown to be useful organisms for examining the effects of distribution, plant association and geographical barriers on gene flow between populations. The cicadas of the Platypleura stridula species complex are restricted to the biologically diverse Cape Floristic Region (CFR) of South Africa. They are thus an excellent study group for eluci- dating the mechanisms by which hemipteran diversity is generated and maintained in the CFR. Phylogeographical analysis of this species complex using mitochondrial DNA Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) and ribosomal 16S sequence data, coupled with preliminary morphological and acoustic data, resolves six clades, each of which has specific host-plant associations and distinct geographical ranges. The phylogeographical structure implies simultaneous or near-simultaneous radiation events, coupled with shifts in host-plant associations. When calibrated using published COI and 16S substitution rates typical for related insects, these lineages date back to the late Pliocene – early Pleistocene, coincident with vegetation change, altered drainage patterns and accelerated erosion in response to neotectonic crustal uplift and cyclic Pleistocene climate change, and glaciation-associated changes in climate and sea level.
