Katydids from the subfamily Meconematinae sing at ultrasonic frequencies. Owing that many of them are nocturnal, elusive and low in abundance (since they are predatory), there is a dearth of information on these katydids and their bioacoustics, especially for species in the understudied yet mega-diverse Southeast Asia. Recent orthopteran surveys in Laguna, Luzon Island in the Philippines led to the discovery of two interesting Meconematinae katydids. Based on the collection, we describe a new species of Phisidini: Neophisis (Indophisis) montealegrei sp. nov. We also describe the male for the first time and redescribe the female of Asiophlugis philippina. The ultrasonic calling songs of both Meconematinae are also recorded, analysed and described here.
姬蟋亚科的螽斯会发出超声波频率的鸣叫。由于它们中的许多是夜行性的，难以捉摸且数量稀少（因为它们是肉食性的），关于这些螽斯及其生物声学的信息匮乏，尤其是对于尚未得到充分研究但生物多样性极高的东南亚地区的物种。最近在菲律宾吕宋岛拉古纳进行的直翅目昆虫调查发现了两种有趣的姬蟋亚科螽斯。基于此次采集，我们描述了菲蟋属的一个新物种：新菲蟋（印度菲蟋）蒙特阿莱格里新种。我们还首次描述了雄性，并重新描述了菲律宾亚洲螽的雌性。这里还记录、分析并描述了这两种姬蟋亚科螽斯的超声波求偶鸣叫。
