Conocephalus conocephalus

Conocephalus conocephalus is the type species of the conehead genus Conocephalus and the bush cricket tribe Conocephalini. This species has been recorded from southern Europe, including France,[1][10] and Africa.[11] Described by Carl von Linné in 1767, C. conocephalus appears to have no surviving type specimens, although it is believed that material may have been obtained from Africa.[11]
