Parnassiana
''Parnassiana'' is a genus of Tettigoniidae, bush crickets in the tribe Platycleidini and genus group Platycleis, genus group ''Platycleis'', erected by F. E. Zeuner in 1941. Species have been called "Greek bush-crickets" and members of this genus have been recorded mostly from that country. Habitat and life cycle Grecian species such as ''P. chelmos'' and ''P. fusca'' often live in upland (1200-2300 m.) pastures and with thorny, low-growing shrubs such as ''Astragalus (plant), Astragalus'' spp., often perched in these, rather than near the ground. Adults can typically be found between July and October. Several species are locally endemic: for example, ''P. fusca'' is only found on Mount Taygetos in the southern Peloponnese.
