Copiphora

Copiphora is a genus of bush crickets or katydids in the subfamily Copiphorinae (coneheads) from southern Mexico, Central America and South America, with a single doubtful species, C. subulata, from Africa.

[1][2] Copiphora are typically fairly large nocturnal katydids with a conspicuous horn-like structure on the top of their head (indistinct in a few species).

Copiphora are omnivorous, but with strong predatory tendencies with large individuals even able to catch small frogs and lizards.

[3][4] They can be quite noisy during the night and certain species produce some of the dominant sounds in their habitat.
