Teratodinae
Teratodinae is a subfamily of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about 8 genera and more than 20 described species, found in East Africa and South-West Asia. Genera These eight genera belong to the subfamily Teratodinae: * ''Acrostegastes'' Karsch, 1896 * ''Esfandiaria'' - monotypic ''E. obesa'' Popov, 1951 * ''Eurynotacris'' Ramme, 1931 * ''Kabulia (grasshopper), Kabulia'' Ramme, 1928 * ''Lyrotyloides'' - monotypic ''L. viridis'' Bey-Bienko, 1956 * ''Lyrotylus'' Uvarov, 1923 * ''Robecchia'' Schulthess, 1898 * ''Teratodes'' Brullé, 1835 References Further reading * * * {{Taxonbar, from=Q3518288 Acrididae Orthoptera subfamilies ...

Acrididae
The AcrididaeMacLeay WS (1821) ''Horae Entomologicae or Essays on the Annulose Animals'' 2 are the predominant family of grasshoppers, comprising some 10,000 of the 11,000 species of the entire suborder Caelifera. The Acrididae are best known because all locusts (swarming grasshoppers) are of the Acrididae. The subfamily Oedipodinae is sometimes classified as a distinct family Oedipodidae in the superfamily Acridoidea. Acrididae grasshoppers are characterized by relatively short and stout antennae, and tympana on the side of the first abdominal segment. Subfamilies The ''Orthoptera Species File'' (September 2021) lists the following subfamilies of Acrididae. The numbers of genera and species are approximate and may change over time. # Acridinae MacLeay, 1821 (140 genera, 470 species), Worldwide: temperate and tropical # Calliptaminae Jacobson, 1905 (12 genera, 90 species), Africa, Europe, Asia # Caryandinae Yin & Liu, 1987 (3 genera, 100 species), Africa, Asia ## ''C ...

Grasshopper
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. Under ...

Teratodes
''Teratodes'', commonly known as hooded grasshoppers, is a genus of grasshopper native to India and Sri Lanka. It was established by the French entomologist Gaspard Auguste Brullé in 1835. The type species is '' Teratodes monticollis'', which was described by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1832 as ''Gryllus monticollis''. Hooded grasshoppers feed on tree leaves, and they can become serious pests of teak and sandalwood. Both the nymphs and adults of the species are dull green in color. The pronotum expands into a large sharp "hood" structure edged with yellow-orange, giving them the general appearance of a leaf. Species Three species are listed in the ''Orthoptera Species File'': * ''Teratodes foliatus'' (Herbst, 1803) emporary name* ''Teratodes brachypterus ''Teratodes'', commonly known as hooded grasshoppers, is a genus of grasshopper native to India and Sri Lanka.
