Tettigoniidae
Insects in the family Tettigoniidae are commonly called katydids (especially in North America), or bush crickets. They have previously been known as "long-horned grasshoppers". More than 8,000 species are known. Part of the suborder Ensifera, the Tettigoniidae are the only extant (living) family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea. They are primarily nocturnal in habit with strident mating calls. Many species exhibit mimicry and camouflage, commonly with shapes and colors similar to leaves. Etymology The family name Tettigoniidae is derived from the genus '' Tettigonia'', first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. In Latin ''tettigonia'' means a kind of small cicada, leafhopper; it is from the Greek τεττιγόνιον ''tettigonion'', the diminutive of the imitative ( onomatopoeic) τέττιξ, ''tettix'', cicada. All of these names such as ''tettix'' with repeated sounds are onomatopoeic, imitating the stridulation of these insects. The common name ''katydid'' is also on ...

Lesina (katydid)
''Lesina'' is a genus of bush cricket in the tribe Agraeciini. Species in this genus are known as 'dragon headed katydids'. They are native to tropical Asia including Malaysia, Indonesia and Borneo, while they are endemic to Croatia. They are listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species due to a continuing decline of mature individuals. Species The ''Orthoptera Species File'' lists: ;subgenus Ellatodon Caudell, 1927 *'' Lesina blanchardi'' (Brongniart, 1890) *'' Lesina maxima'' Gorochov & Berezin, 2016 ;subgenus Lesina Walker, 1869 *'' Lesina ensifera'' (Brullé, 1835) *'' Lesina intermedia'' (Karny, 1923) *'' Lesina karnyi'' de Jong, 1942 *'' Lesina lutescens'' Walker, 1869 - type species *'' Lesina vaginata'' Karny, 1923 Misidentification ''Lesina'' is often misidentified as '' Acridoxena'', found in Africa Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most populous continent, after Asia in both cases.

Conocephalus Fuscus
''Conocephalus fuscus'', the long-winged conehead, is a member of the family Tettigoniidae, the bush-crickets and is distributed through much of Europe and temperate Asia. This bush-cricket is native to the British Isles where it may confused with the short-winged conehead (''Conocephalus dorsalis''). These two species are phenotypically similar; however, the distinguishing factor between the two is the fully developed set of wings the long-winged conehead possesses that allows for flight. In the short-winged coneheads the hind wings are shorter than the abdomen, causing the wings to be vestigial and the species is incapable of flight. For this reason it is hard to discriminate between the two species during the early stages of their life cycle before the wings have fully developed. The colouration of the conehead is typically a grass green with a distinctive brown stripe down its back, though there are some brown phenotypes. Scientific name Some authorities, following H. Radclyff ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Macroxiphus
''Macroxiphus''Pictet (1888) ''Mem. Soc. Phys. Hist. Nat. Geneve'' 30(6): 52. is a small genus of bush crickets or katydids distributed in Southeast Asia and Micronesia. The nymphs (immature stages) of the insects mimic ants. Species Species include: *'' Macroxiphus nasicornis'' Pictet, 1888 - type species *'' Macroxiphus sumatranus'' (Haan, 1843) Camouflage and mimicry Young instars of ''Macroxiphus'', such as '' M. sumatranus'', have an "uncanny resemblance" to ants, extending to their black coloration, remarkably perfect antlike shape, and convincingly antlike behaviour. Their long antennae are camouflaged to appear short, being black only at the base, and they are vibrated like ant antennae. Larger instars suddenly change into typical-looking katydids, and are entirely nocturnal, while the adult has bright warning coloration Aposematism is the advertising by an animal to potential predators that it is not worth attacking or eating.
