Glolarnaca Explained

Glolarnaca is a genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets' in the tribe Gryllacridini. The recorded distribution is from China, Vietnam and Cambodia.^[1]

Glolarnaca was originally described as the subgenus Zalarnaca (Glolarnaca) by AV Gorochov;^[2] its elevation to genus level in subfamily Gryllacridinae has been accepted by authorities such as Cadena-Castañeda^[3] and Yang.^[4] Species such as G. globiceps (originally identified from Cambodia and Vietnam) have also been placed in other more related genera such as Gryllacris^[5] and also Capnogryllacris.^[6]
