Ducetiini
The Phaneropterinae, the sickle-bearing bush crickets or leaf katydids, are a subfamily of insects within the family Tettigoniidae. They are also known as false katydids or round-headed katydids. The name Phaneropterinae is based upon the Old World genus '' Phaneroptera'' (type species '' P. falcata''), meaning "visible wing"; this refers to the exposed tips of the inner wings seen in many species, although some genera, notably in the tribes Barbitistini and Odonturini have become brachypterous. Description The legs of individuals in this subfamily vary from genus to genus, but, as in nearly all Orthoptera, the posterior (rear) legs are adapted to leaping, and as such are always much longer than other legs. Phaneropterinae are generally well-camouflaged with green and brown colors being most prevalent, but there are exceptions including certain '' Aganacris'' and ''Scaphura'' that are Batesian mimics of wasps. The Phaneropterinae are largely arboreal in habitat. The vast majo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Phaneroptera Nana
''Phaneroptera nana'', common name southern sickle bush-cricket, is a species in the family Tettigoniidae and subfamily Phaneropterinae.Eades D.C., Otte D., Naskrecki P.Orthoptera Species File Online/ref> It has become an invasive species in California where it may be called the Mediterranean katydid. Distribution and habitat This bush cricket is native to mainland Europe, the Near East and North Africa. The Indo-Malayan species ''Phaneropera subcarinata'', described by Bolívar, is morphologically similar to ''P. nana,'' and was classified under the ''P. nana'' name by Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl. As an invasive species, it has spread to the San Francisco Bay Area and may be widespread in the Los Angeles Basin, with records of its presence in California dating from at least 1952. In addition, it has been recorded in Portland, Oregon since 2015 and South America and hypothesized in the Annals of Carnegie Museum to have spread via shipping. It mainly inhabits sunny and dry habitat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
