Anabropsis
''Anabropsis'' is a genus of king crickets in the tribe Anabropsini. They are found tropical areas of the Americas, Africa and Asia. Species The ''Orthoptera Species File'' currently lists five subgenera, until recently, all placed at genus level: subgenus ''Anabropsis'' Auth.: Rehn, 1901 - central Americas ;species group ''alata'' (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1888) # '' Anabropsis alata'' (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1888) # '' Anabropsis longipenna'' Gorochov & Cadena-Castañeda, 2016 # '' Anabropsis marmorata'' Rehn, 1905 # '' Anabropsis rentzi'' Cadena-Castañeda & Cortés-Torres, 2013 # '' Anabropsis weissmani'' Cadena-Castañeda & Gorochov, 2016 ;species group ''aptera'' (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1888) # '' Anabropsis aptera'' (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1888) # '' Anabropsis apteroides'' Cadena-Castañeda & Gorochov, 2016 # '' Anabropsis chiapas'' Gorochov & Cadena-Castañeda, 2016 # '' Anabropsis homerogomezi'' Cadena-Castañeda & Weissman, 2020 # '' Anabropsis oaxaca'' Gorochov & Cadena ...

Anostostomatidae
Anostostomatidae is a family of insects in the order Orthoptera, widely distributed in the southern hemisphere. It is named Mimnermidae or Henicidae in some taxonomies, and common names include ''king crickets'' in South Africa and ''wētā'' in New Zealand (although not all wētā are in Anostostomatidae). Prominent members include the Parktown prawn of South Africa, and the giant wētā of New Zealand. The distribution of this family reflects a common ancestry before the fragmenting of Gondwana. General characteristics By virtue of their ability to cope with variations in temperature, members of the family Anostostomatidae can be found in a variety of environments including alpine, forests, grasslands, shrub lands and urban gardens. The family is widely distributed across southern hemisphere lands including South America, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. They are nocturnal and many are flightless although several flying species exist in Australia. The diet is divers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ensifera Genera
Ensifera is a suborder of insects that includes the various types of crickets and their allies including: true crickets, camel crickets, bush crickets or katydids, grigs, weta and Cooloola monsters. This and the suborder Caelifera (grasshoppers and their allies) make up the order Orthoptera. Ensifera is believed to be a more ancient group than Caelifera, with its origins in the Carboniferous period, the split having occurred at the end of the Permian period. Unlike the Caelifera, the Ensifera contain numerous members that are partially carnivorous, feeding on other insects, as well as plants. ''Ensifer'' is Latin for "sword bearer", and refers to the typically elongated and blade-like ovipositor of the females. Characteristics Characteristics shared by the two orthopteran suborders, Caelifera and Ensifera, are the mouthparts adapted for biting and chewing, the modified prothorax, the hind legs modified for jumping, the wing shape and venation, and the sound-producing stridu ...

Orthoptera Of Asia
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 ὀρθός ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
