Francis Walker (entomologist)
Francis Walker (31 July 1809 – 5 October 1874) was an English entomologist. He was born in Southgate, London, on 31 July 1809 and died at Wanstead, England on 5 October 1874. He was one of the most prolific authors in entomology, and stirred controversy during his later life as his publications resulted in a huge number of junior synonyms. However, his assiduous work on the collections of the British Museum had great significance. Between June 1848 and late 1873 Walker was contracted by John Edward Gray Director of the British Museum to catalogue their insects (except Coleoptera) that is Orthoptera, Neuroptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera. Walker largely accomplished this and (Edwards, 1870) wrote of the plan and by implication those who implemented it “It is to him raythat the Public owe the admirable helps to the study of natural history which have been afforded by the series of inventories, guides, and nomenclatures, the publication of which beg ...

Cicadettana Calliope Calliope P1210806a
''Cicadettana'' is a genus of cicada belonging to the tribe Cicadettini of the family Cicadidae. Until 2017, the included species were classified under the genus ''Cicadetta''. ''Cicadettana'' are small (12–20 mm body length), inconspicuous cicadas with high-pitched songs, and they are commonly found on grass or low shrubs. One species (''ramosi'') is known from Hispaniola, while the rest are found in the United States east of the Rocky Mountain divide. The type species of the genus is ''Cicadettana calliope calliope'', originally designated as ''Cicada calliope'' Walker, 1850. Their closest known relatives are found in Europe, eastern Asia, and Micronesia. Species * ''Cicadettana calliope'' ** ''C. c. calliope'' (Walker, 1850) – east of Rocky Mountain divide, excluding northern/northeastern states ** ''C. c. floridensis'' (Davis, 1920) – southeastern states * ''Cicadettana camerona'' (Davis, 1920) – southern Texas (Cameron County) * ''Cicadettana kansa'' (Davis ...

Cicadidae
Cicadidae, the true cicadas, is the largest family of cicadas, with more than 3,200 species worldwide. The oldest known definitive fossils are from the Paleocene, a nymph from the Cretaceous Burmese amber has been attributed to the family, but could also belong to the Tettigarctidae. Description Cicadas are large insects characterized by their membranous wings, triangular-formation of three ocelli on the top of their heads, and their short, bristle-like antennae. Life cycle Cicadas are generally separated into two categories based on their adult emergence pattern. Annual cicadas remain underground as nymphs for two or more years and the population is not locally synchronized in its development, so that some adults mature each year or in most years. Periodical cicadas also have multiple-year life cycles but emerge in synchrony or near synchrony in any one location and are absent as adults in the intervening years. The most well-known periodical cicadas, genus ''Magicicada'', e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Insects Described In 1850
Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Their blood is not totally contained in vessels; some circulates in an open cavity known as the haemocoel. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The total number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million; In: potentially over 90% of the animal life forms on Earth are insects. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, which are dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans, which recent research has indicated insects are nested within. Nearly all insects hatch from eggs. Insect ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
