Markia
''Markia'' is a genus in the family Tettigoniidae, sometimes called lichen katydids, which are found in Mexico, Central America and South America, often in highlands; however, the term "lichen katydids" is also used for other genera in the tribe Dysoniini. As suggested by the name, the spiny ''Markia'' katydids live and feed on ''Usnea'' lichen, and their shape and color pattern provides them with an excellent camouflage in this habitat. They are quite large, with adults typically long.
