Description and distribution Members of ''Moncheca'' are Aposematism, aposematically colored and one of the few katydid genera to use chemical defenses against predators. Species Members of this genus are found in humid tropical forests in Mexico, Central and South America and include: # ''Moncheca bisulca'' (Saint-Fargeau & Serville, 1825) # ''Moncheca elegans'' (Giglio-Tos, 1898) # ''Moncheca hyalinata'' (Haan, 1842) # ''Moncheca pretiosa'' Walker, 1869 - type species # ''Moncheca spinifrons'' (Saussure & Pictet, 1898) References {{Taxonbar, from=Q10588026 Conocephalinae Orthoptera genera Orthoptera of South America ...

Copiphorini
The Copiphorini are a tribe of bush crickets or katydids in the family Tettigoniidae. Previously considered a subfamily (the Copiphorinae), they are now placed in the subfamily Conocephalinae. Like some other members of Conocephalinae, they are known as coneheads, grasshopper-like insects with an extended, cone-shaped projection on their heads that juts forward in front of the base of the antennae. Description Species in the Copiphorini vary in length from about . In most species, the female is considerably larger than the male, and in some, the largest male is smaller than the smallest female. Like other members of the cricket suborder Ensifera, they differ from grasshoppers (suborder Caelifera) in having filamentous antennae that are longer than their bodies. Most species have loud songs which enable them to be identified. The call is made in most instances by the two fore wings rubbing together. Some species can hear with the aid of hearing organs in the tibia segments of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aposematism
Aposematism is the Advertising in biology, advertising by an animal to potential predation, predators that it is not worth attacking or eating. This unprofitability may consist of any defences which make the prey difficult to kill and eat, such as toxicity, venom, foul taste or smell, sharp spines, or aggressive nature. These advertising signals may take the form of conspicuous animal coloration, coloration, sounds, odours, or other perception, perceivable characteristics. Aposematic signals are beneficial for both predator and prey, since both avoid potential harm. The term was coined in 1877 by Edward Bagnall Poulton for Alfred Russel Wallace's concept of warning coloration. Aposematism is exploited in Müllerian mimicry, where species with strong defences evolve to resemble one another. By mimicking similarly coloured species, the warning signal to predators is shared, causing them to learn more quickly at less of a cost. A genuine aposematic signal that a species actually ...

Orthoptera Genera
Orthoptera () is an order of insects that comprises the grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets, including closely related insects, such as the bush crickets or katydids and wētā. The order is subdivided into two suborders: Caelifera – grasshoppers, locusts, and close relatives; and Ensifera – crickets and close relatives. More than 20,000 species are distributed worldwide. The insects in the order have incomplete metamorphosis, and produce sound (known as a "stridulation") by rubbing their wings against each other or their legs, the wings or legs containing rows of corrugated bumps. The tympanum, or ear, is located in the front tibia in crickets, mole crickets, and bush crickets or katydids, and on the first abdominal segment in the grasshoppers and locusts. These organisms use vibrations to locate other individuals. Grasshoppers and other orthopterans are able to fold their wings (i.e. they are members of Neoptera). Etymology The name is derived from the Greek ὀρθός ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
