Katydid, Amblycorypha ?

Kansas Insect Guide mentions an Amblycorypha hausteca, but I don't find anything like that.

I should add that it looks a lot like

Appears to be an Oblong-winged Katydid
Moved from Round-headed Katydids.

Yes.
Male Amblycorypha. Several "new" species have been described, and I can't tell them apart myself....
