Incertana is a genus of bush crickets in the tribe Platycleidini, erected by F. E. Zeuner in 1941.[1] Species have been recorded (probably an incomplete distribution) from: North Africa, southern Europe (the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, the Balkans through to Turkey), the Middle East and the Himalayas.[2] Placed in genus group Platycleis,[2] literature on the type species and others often refers to that genus.
