The Ephippigerini are a tribe of bush crickets in the subfamily Bradyporinae, erected by Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1878.[1] Species, including the typical Ephippiger ephippiger are sometimes called "saddle-backed bush crickets": they have been recorded from mainland Europe (not the British Isles or Scandinavia), North Africa and the Horn of Africa.[2]
