Amblycorypha carinata Rehn & Hebard, 1914 - Carinate Katydid
Taxonomy
Family: Tettigoniidae
Subfamily: PhaneropterinaeTribe: AmblycoryphiniSynonym: Amblycorpha floridana carinata, Amblycorypha oblongifolia carinata Comments: One of seventeen species in this genus that occur in North America (Cigliano et al., accessed 2024-09-25; Forrest et al., 2023). Eight species have been recorded in North Carolina.Species Status: Belongs to the Oblongifolia Species Group of Rehn and Hebard (1914) and Walker (2004), which in North Carolina, includes oblongifolia , carinata , and floridana . Species in this group have a deep humeral sinus and metasternal lobes that are longer than wide (Walker, 2004).
Identification
Field Guide Descriptions: Online Photographs: BugGuide , Google Images ,
iNaturalist , GBIF SINA 006a.htm Comments: Green but with the carina of the pronotum often marked with a dark line edged with yellow medially.Total Length [body plus wings; excludes ovipositor]: 20.8-24 mm, males; 21-27.2 mm, females (Blatchley, 1920)Forewing Length: 33-35.5 mm, males; 30-35.5 mm, females (Blatchley, 1920)Structural Features: This species is very similar to oblongifolia but males have a stridulatory field that is about the same in area as the pronotum; in oblongifolia , the stridulatory field is much greater (Rehn and Hebard, 1914). In carinata , the lateral carina of pronotum are distinct along their entire length, whereas they are more rounded in oblongifolia and often obsolete on the basal fourth or more (Blatchley, 1920). The ovipositor in carinata is straighter and more finely serrate than in oblongifolia .

Habitats and Life History
Habitats: Blatchley (1920) described the habitat of carinata as similar to oblongifolia , consisting of successional shrubs and tall weeds. Himmelman (2009) also mentions the edges of marshes, both fresh and salt. Most, if not all, of our records come from open areas or their edges, all with well developed shrubs and tall forbs.
