Hadenoecini
Hadenoecini is a tribe of cave crickets in the family Rhaphidophoridae. There are two genera and nine described species. It is sometimes considered a synonym of the subfamily Dolichopodainae. They are pale and spider-like, occurring in forests and caves in the eastern United States. They are sometimes referred to as white cave-crickets.

Cave Cricket
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 antennae and legs. More than 500 species of Rhaphidophoridae are described. The well-known 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-shaped" femora and equally long, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hadenoecus
''Hadenoecus'' is a genus of common cave cricket of the southeastern United States and typical of the tribe Hadenoecini. An interesting characteristic of these crickets is their long antennae and powerful rear legs which allow for quick movement in the dark cave system. When threatened, ''H. subterraneus'' will jump and turn up to 180 degrees before landing again and jumping in another direction. This is suspected to be an adaptation to escape predators. Much research has been conducted on the ecosystems of which the cave cricket is a part. The Mammoth Cave system in central Kentucky is populated by the species ''Hadenoecus subterraneus''. Species These five species belong to the genus ''Hadenoecus'': * ''Hadenoecus barri'' Hubbell & Norton, 1978 (Barr's cave cricket) * ''Hadenoecus cumberlandicus'' Hubbell & Norton, 1978 (Cumberland cave cricket) * ''Hadenoecus jonesi'' Hubbell & Norton, 1978 (limrock blowing cave cricket) * ''Hadenoecus opilionides'' Hubbell & Norton, 1978 (Te ...

Dolichopodainae
''Dolichopoda'' is a genus of cave crickets in the tribe Dolichopodaini, subfamily Dolichopodainae. They are distributed in the Mediterranean basin in southern Europe and western Asia. The type species of the genus is '' Gryllus palpata'', now known as '' Dolichopoda palpata''. Species There are over 50 described species. The greatest species diversity occurs in Greece. Four subgenera have been named, though some have been shown to be paraphyletic (''Dolichopoda'') or polyphyletic (''Chopardina''). ;''Dolichopoda'' (''Capraiacris'') Baccetti, 1977 These two species lack spines on both the anterior tibiae and the hind femur. *'' Dolichopoda aegilion'' Baccetti, 1977 *'' Dolichopoda baccettii'' Capra, 1957 ;''Dolichopoda'' (''Chopardina'') Uvarov, 1921 Found in Italy, Corsica, and Greece.

Orthoptera Tribes
Orthoptera () is an order of insects that comprises the grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets, including closely related insects, such as the bush crickets or katydids and wētā. The order is subdivided into two suborders: Caelifera – grasshoppers, locusts, and close relatives; and Ensifera – crickets and close relatives. More than 20,000 species are distributed worldwide. The insects in the order have incomplete metamorphosis, and produce sound (known as a " stridulation") by rubbing their wings against each other or their legs, the wings or legs containing rows of corrugated bumps. The tympanum, or ear, is located in the front tibia in crickets, mole crickets, and bush crickets or katydids, and on the first abdominal segment in the grasshoppers and locusts. These organisms use vibrations to locate other individuals. Grasshoppers and other orthopterans are able to fold their wings (i.e. they are members of Neoptera). Etymology The name is derived from the Greek ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
