Xederra barbarae

Unknown.

Found in the southwest of Western Australia.

The larger of the photographed katydids had a body length of approximately 24 millimetres (excluding the ovipositor).

These katydids are ground-dwelling, preferring dry leaf litter. They may be threatened by repetitive burning, which removes both their habitat and the katydids themselves.

This katydid has been photographed in October and December.
