Lesina[1] is a genus of bush cricket in the tribe Agraeciini. Species in this genus are known as 'dragon headed katydids'[citation needed] with the similar species Ellatodon blanchardi. They are native to tropical Asia including Malaysia, Indonesia and Borneo, while they are endemic to Croatia. They are listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species due to a continuing decline of mature individuals. [2]
