Lucien Chopard
Lucien Chopard (31 August 1885 – 16 November 1971) was a French entomologist. Chopard was born in Paris. He graduated as a Doctor of Science in 1920 at the Faculté des sciences de Paris with a thesis entitled ''Recherches sur la conformation et le développement des derniers segments abdominaux chez les orthoptères''. After being named a correspondent of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in 1919 he entered that institution in 1931 working in the ''laboratoire d’entomologie'' where he was in charge of the vivarium. He became ''sous directeur'' in 1936, then professor in 1951. He retired in 1955. Chopard was a specialist in Orthoptera. He worked on Mantidae collected by Charles A. Alluaud (1861–1949) and René Gabriel Jeannel (1879–1965) on their East Africa expedition (1911–1912). He became a Member of the Société entomologique de France in 1901 and was distinguished by being made ''secrétaire général honoraire'' in 1950. He translated into French the ...

Rhaphidophoridae
The orthopteran family Rhaphidophoridae of the suborder Ensifera has a worldwide distribution. Common names for these insects include cave wētā, cave crickets, camelback crickets, camel crickets, Hogan bugs, spider crickets (sometimes shortened to "criders", or "land shrimp" or "sprickets",) and sand treaders. Those occurring in New Zealand, Australia, and Tasmania are typically referred to as jumping or cave wētā. Most are found in forest environments or within caves, animal burrows, cellars, under stones, or in wood or similar environments. All species are flightless and nocturnal, usually with long antenna (biology), antennae and legs. More than 500 species of Rhaphidophoridae are described. The well-known Gryllidae, field crickets are from a different superfamily (Grylloidea) and only look vaguely similar, while members of the family Tettigoniidae may look superficially similar in body form. Description Most cave crickets have very large hind legs with "drumstick-shape ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aemodogryllini
The Orthopteran subfamily Aemodogryllinae contains about sixteen genera of camel crickets. It was named after ''Aemodogryllus'' Adelung, 1902 - which is now considered a subgenus of ''Diestrammena''. Species can be found in Europe and Asia (Korea, Indo-China, Russia, China), although the greenhouse camel cricket is cosmopolitan and could be described as an invasive species.
