Family:Tettigoniidae
Acrometopa is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Phaneropterinae; It is typical of the tribe Acrometopini. Species in this genus are found in south-eastern Europe and the Middle East
Habitat:
Acrometopa syriaca inhabits dry and hot places with at least partially higher growing vegetation (e.g. Cistus). In Kalymnos Island (Greece, East Egean), I recorded larvae and adults in high density in a road side verge planted with Nerium oleander.
Remarks:
Acrometopa syriaca occurs from the Greek East Egean Islands across parts of Anatolia to the Near (e.g. Syria and Lebanon), Cyprus and Middle (e.g. Iran) East.
