Melanoplini
Melanoplini is a tribe of spur-throated grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about 19 genera and more than 200 described species in Melanoplini, all in North America. Their biogeography shows that many species in the tribe have descendants from the Eocene epoch and Miocene epoch. Genera These 19 genera belong to the tribe Melanoplini: * ''Aeoloplides'' Caudell, 1916 * ''Agroecotettix'' Bruner, 1908 * ''Aptenopedes'' Scudder, 1878 * '' Cephalotettix'' Scudder, 1897 * '' Chloroplus'' Hebard, 1918 * '' Eotettix'' Scudder, 1897 * '' Floridacris'' Otte, 2014 * '' Floritettix'' Otte, 2014 * '' Hesperotettix'' Scudder, 1876 * '' Hypochlora'' Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893 * '' Melanoplus'' Stål, 1873 * '' Necaxacris'' Roberts, 1939 * '' Netrosoma'' Scudder, 1897 * '' Oedaleonotus'' Scudder, 1897 * '' Paroxya'' Scudder, 1877 * '' Phaedrotettix'' Scudder, 1897 * ''Philocleon'' Scudder, 1897 * '' Phoetaliotes'' Scudder, 1897 * ''Sinaloa'' Scudder, 1897 i c g Data sources: i = I ...

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 tympanal organ, 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), Afric ...

Philocleon (grasshopper)
''The Wasps'' ( grc-x-classical, Σφῆκες, translit=Sphēkes) is the fourth in chronological order of the eleven surviving plays by Aristophanes. It was produced at the Lenaia festival in 422 BC, during Athens' short-lived respite from the Peloponnesian War. As in his other early plays, Aristophanes satirizes the Athenian general and demagogue Cleon. He also ridicules the law courts, one of the institutions that provided Cleon his power. The play has been thought to exemplify Old Comedy. Plot The play begins with a strange scene—a large net has been spread over a house, the entry is barricaded and two slaves, Xanthias and Sosias, are sleeping in the street outside. A third man is positioned at the top of an exterior wall with a view into the inner courtyard but he too is asleep. The two slaves wake and we learn from their banter that they are keeping guard over a "monster." The man asleep above them is their master and the monster is his father—he has an unusual di ...

Melanoplus
__NOTOC__ ''Melanoplus'' is a large genus of grasshoppers. They are the typical large grasshoppers (and in some cases migratory " locusts") in North America. A common name is spur-throat grasshoppers (also "spurthroat" or "spur-throated grasshoppers"), but this more typically refers to members of the related subfamily Catantopinae. The largest grasshoppers of this genus can reach nearly in length, but most are smaller. Some are intricately patterned and colorful, others are drab. ''Melanoplus'' species eat grasses of all kinds, as well as leafy and grassy agricultural crops and garden plants. They feed on the leaves, and sometimes fruit, flowers, and buds, as well as tree bark. Many of the more notable agricultural pest grasshoppers belong here, including the Rocky Mountain locust, the most significant insect pest of the 19th century Great Plains, but now extinct. Selected species New species are often being discovered and described in this genus where speciation runs rampant i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
