Yes it is Tettigidea

I need to dig out Rehn and Grant's work on these. This doesn't really look quite like T. lateralis, nor armata to me (somewhere between!). Blatchley comments on what may be the same sort of critters, using the name T. acuta (which he treats as a synonym of T. lateralis, but other authors have treated it as a species). I won't put the whole text from Blatchley here, but he sums it up - "It is, as it were, a sort of connecting link betwen lateralis and armata, - - - "

This photo may be of "T. acuta".

Here's another I think is likely the same:

Tettigidea?

Pronotum looks like Tettigidea to me. This appears to be a long-winged form. I've moved to guide for family at least--I'm doing some ID Request clean-up.

Thanks Patrick

I'll go back and see if I can clean up more of my ID requests in the next few days.
