Barat in 2012, as part of a revision of the tribe Ephippigerini.Barat J (2012) Revisión preliminar de los géneros de Ephippigerini Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878 (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Bradyporinae).

Species To date (2026), this genus contains the single species Corsteropleurus chopardi , from Corsica and known as the Corsican Saddle Bush-cricket (L'Ephippigère corse).Orthoptera Species File: species Corsteropleurus chopardi (Ebner, 1938) (retrieved 15 July 2026) The original type specimen was deposited in the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle (MNHN), Paris by Lucien Chopard as Steropleurus elegans , but placing a genus has proved problematical; another specimen was subsequently named after him as S. chopardi,Ebner R (1938) Tettigoniidae: subfam. Ephippigerinae, Pycnogastrinae, Bradyporinae, Deracanthinae. In Orthopterorum Catalogus. Vol. 1, pp. 70 pp. with other authorities placing this insect in genus Uromenus before Barat's (2012) review.
