The diversity of the Agraeciini spine-headed katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigonioidea: Conocephalinae) in Southeast Asia remains poorly known, with species still awaiting discovery. Recent field collections in the Philippines resulted in the discovery of three novel species and redescription of two known species of Agraeciini, namely, (1) Anthracites furvuseques sp. nov. from Siargao in Mindanao, a species close to A. major Hebard, 1922; (2) Axylus mabinii sp. nov. from Luzon: (3) a new variant in Axylus c.f. philippinus (Hebard, 1922); (4) Salomona lumadae sp. nov. from Siargao in Mindanao; and (5) Salomona brevicollis Stål, 1877 comb. resurr. is a valid species distinct from Salomona maculifrons Stål, 1877.
东南亚的阿格雷西尼棘头螽斯(直翅目:螽斯科:草螽亚科)多样性仍鲜为人知,仍有物种有待发现。最近在菲律宾的野外采集发现了三个新物种,并对两个已知的阿格雷西尼物种进行了重新描述,即:(1)来自棉兰老岛锡亚高岛的暗黑阿格雷西尼新种Anthracites furvuseques sp. nov.,该物种与1922年的A. major Hebard相近;(2)来自吕宋岛的马氏阿克西卢斯新种Axylus mabinii sp. nov.;(3)阿克西卢斯近似菲律宾种Axylus c.f. philippinus(Hebard,1922)的一个新变种;(4)来自棉兰老岛锡亚高岛的卢氏萨洛莫纳新种Salomona lumadae sp. nov.;以及(5)1877年的短颈萨洛莫纳Salomona brevicollis Stål,组合复活,是一个与1877年的黄斑萨洛莫纳Salomona maculifrons Stål不同的有效物种。
