Species have been recorded from India and Malesia. Description The genus ''Stolzia'' differs from genera of Catantopinae by having an asymmetrical epiphallus (male) and in females, the dorsal valves of the ovipositor are apically broadened, rounded and distinctly serrate. Species The ''Orthoptera Species File'' lists: # ''Stolzia aberrans'' (Willemse, 1938) # ''Stolzia borneensis'' (Willemse, 1938) # ''Stolzia fasciata'' (Willemse, 1933) # ''Stolzia javana'' Ramme, 1941 # ''Stolzia nigromaculata'' (Willemse, 1938) # ''Stolzia rubromaculata'' Willemse, 1930 - type species - locality Solok, Sumatra Note: five species, previously placed here, have been moved to the restored genus ''Incolacris'' Willemse, 1932 and ''S. vietnamensis'' Storozhenko, 2020 is now placed in the new genus ''Asymmetritania ''Asymmetritania''S ...

Grasshoppers are a group of insects belonging to the suborder Caelifera. They are among what is possibly the most ancient living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to the early Triassic around 250 million years ago. Grasshoppers are typically ground-dwelling insects with powerful hind legs which allow them to escape from threats by leaping vigorously. As hemimetabolous insects, they do not undergo complete metamorphosis; they hatch from an egg into a nymph or "hopper" which undergoes five moults, becoming more similar to the adult insect at each developmental stage. The grasshopper hears through the tympanal organ which can be found in the first segment of the abdomen attached to the thorax; while its sense of vision is in the compound eyes, the change in light intensity is perceived in the simple eyes (ocelli). At high population densities and under certain environmental conditions, some grasshopper species can change color and behavior and form swarms. Unde ...
