Abstract

The genus Pezodrymadusa is studied and a key to species and a checklist are provided. One new species Pezodrymadusa saeedi sp.nov. is described. In total 15 species of the genus have been described already and images are also provided. Based on the shape and structure of the male cerci, the stridulatory file, the subgenital plate, and particularly the texture of the tegmina, the new species differs from Pezodrymadusa uvarovi. The holotype (Male) was collected from Pakistan, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (Lower Dir).
