However, unlike the common grasshopper, the wings of ''T. ceperoi'' extend beyond its pronotum (the upper surface of the first segment of the thorax). The front wings have evolved throughout history to be stumps, and the back wings are very well developed. Thanks to the front wings only, ''T. ceperoi'' is capable of flying. Furthermore, ''T. ceperoi'' sports wide shoulders while covering its narrow abdomen beneath the pronotum.

He also encouraged other naturalists to study entomology, José María de la Fuente being one example. In this field he wrote more than 300 books and monographs and described more than thousand new species and about 200 genera. After the Spanish Civil War he was exiled to Mexico Mexico (Spanish: México), officially the United Mexican States, is a country in the southern portion of North America.
