The type specimens of Tettigoniidae described by S. de Toledo Piza were photographed for Orthoptera Species File Online and examined. As a result of this revision several species are moved to different genera and two species to different subfamilies, 20 genera and 10 species are synonymized, one species is resurrected from synonymy, and two new genera are created, each accommodating a unique species described by Piza: Toledopizia gen. nov. (Conocephalinae: Copiphorini) and Pizatettix gen. nov. (Pseudophyllinae: Platyphyllini). In total there are 32 new combinations of species names. The paper includes a checklist and explanations for all nomenclatural changes.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
