Montana is a genus of bush crickets in the tribe Platycleidini, erected by F.E. Zeuner in 1941.[1] The type species, M. montana has been called the "Steppe Bush-Cricket".[2] Some authorities[3][4] previously placed this as a subgenus of Platycleis, but it is now considered a separate genus, as part of the genus group Platycleis.[5] Species can be found in the northern Palaearctic realm from mainland western Europe (not the British Isles) through to Siberia.[5]
