Review of the African Genus Digentia Stål, 1878 (orthoptera, Acrididae, Oxyinae)

The genus Digentia Stål, 1878 currently has four described species from the tropical forest areas of West Central Africa. Here, we describe a new species, Digentia viridissimasp. nov., and its natural habitat in the swamps of the humid forests of southern Cameroon. Additionally, we include a description of Digentia punctatissima (Stål, 1875) and redescriptions of Digentia rufogeniculata (Bolívar, 1911), Digentia fasciataRamme 1929, and Digentia karnyiRamme 1929. We also provide a key to identify the species of the genus.
