Stolzia (insect)
''Stolzia'' is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Incolacridinae (previously the monotypic tribe Incolacridini Tinkham, 1940; synonyms: Incolacri, Stolziini). Species have been recorded from India and Malesia. Description The genus ''Stolzia'' differs from genera of Catantopinae by having an asymmetrical epiphallus (male) and in females, the dorsal valves of the ovipositor are apically broadened, rounded and distinctly serrate. Species The ''Orthoptera Species File'' lists: # '' Stolzia aberrans'' (Willemse, 1938) # ''Stolzia borneensis'' (Willemse, 1938) # ''Stolzia fasciata'' (Willemse, 1933) # ''Stolzia javana'' Ramme, 1941 # ''Stolzia nigromaculata'' (Willemse, 1938) # '' Stolzia rubromaculata'' Willemse, 1930 - type species - locality Solok, Sumatra Note: five species, previously placed here, have been moved to the restored genus '' Incolacris'' Willemse, 1932 and ''S. vietnamensis'' Storozhenko, 2020 is now placed in the new genus ''Asymmetritania ''Asymmetrita ...

Grasshoppers
Grasshoppers are a group of insects belonging to the suborder Caelifera. They are among what is possibly the most ancient living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to the early Triassic around 250 million years ago. Grasshoppers are typically ground-dwelling insects with powerful hind legs which allow them to escape from threats by leaping vigorously. As hemimetabolous insects, they do not undergo complete metamorphosis; they hatch from an egg into a nymph or "hopper" which undergoes five moults, becoming more similar to the adult insect at each developmental stage. The grasshopper hears through the tympanal organ which can be found in the first segment of the abdomen attached to the thorax; while its sense of vision is in the compound eyes, the change in light intensity is perceived in the simple eyes (ocelli). At high population densities and under certain environmental conditions, some grasshopper species can change color and behavior and form swarms. Und ...

Incolacridinae
The Incolacridinae are a small subfamily of grasshoppers found mostly in Indochina and Malesia. Circumscription The type genus is '' Incolacris'', originally based on the tribe "Incolacri", then elevated to subfamily level by S.Y. Storozhenko in 2021.Storozhenko SY (2021) On the exact position of the tribe Incolacridini in the modern classification of grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae). ''Zootaxa'' 4970(1): 107, 108. In this review, ''Incolacris'' was revived to its original name (having also been placed in the subfamily Catantopinae) and the genus ''Asymmetritania'' was separated from '' Stolzia'' (which is now restricted to Malesia, with uncertain records from India).

Malesia
Malesia is a biogeographical region straddling the Equator and the boundaries of the Indomalayan and Australasian realms, and also a phytogeographical floristic region in the Paleotropical Kingdom. It has been given different definitions. The World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions split off Papuasia in its 2001 version. Floristic province Malesia was first identified as a floristic region that included the Malay Peninsula, the Malay Archipelago, New Guinea, and the Bismarck Archipelago, based on a shared tropical flora derived mostly from Asia but also with numerous elements of the Antarctic flora, including many species in the southern conifer families Podocarpaceae and Araucariaceae. The floristic region overlaps four distinct mammalian faunal regions. The first edition of the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions (WGSRPD) used this definition, but in the second edition of 2001, New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago we ...

Catantopinae
The subfamily Catantopinae is a group of insects classified under family Acrididae. Genera such as '' Macrotona'' may sometimes called "spur-throated grasshoppers", but that name is also used for grasshoppers from other subfamilies, including the genus ''Melanoplus'' from the Melanoplinae. Indeed, the delimitation of these two subfamilies needs restudy: the Podismini for example are sometimes placed here, sometimes in the Melanoplinae.

Ovipositor
The ovipositor is a tube-like organ used by some animals, especially insects, for the laying of eggs. In insects, an ovipositor consists of a maximum of three pairs of appendages. The details and morphology of the ovipositor vary, but typically its form is adapted to functions such as preparing a place for the egg, transmitting the egg, and then placing it properly. For most insects, the organ is used merely to attach the egg to some surface, but for many parasitic species (primarily in wasps and other Hymenoptera), it is a piercing organ as well. Some ovipositors only retract partly when not in use, and the basal part that sticks out is known as the scape, or more specifically oviscape, the word ''scape'' deriving from the Latin word '' scāpus'', meaning "stalk" or "shaft". In insects Grasshoppers use their ovipositors to force a burrow into the earth to receive the eggs. Cicadas pierce the wood of twigs with their ovipositors to insert the eggs. Sawflies slit t ...

Sumatra
Sumatra is one of the Sunda Islands of western Indonesia. It is the largest island that is fully within Indonesian territory, as well as the sixth-largest island in the world at 473,481 km2 (182,812 mi.2), not including adjacent islands such as the Simeulue, Nias, Mentawai, Enggano, Riau Islands, Bangka Belitung and Krakatoa archipelago. Sumatra is an elongated landmass spanning a diagonal northwest–southeast axis. The Indian Ocean borders the northwest, west, and southwest coasts of Sumatra, with the island chain of Simeulue, Nias, Mentawai, and Enggano off the western coast. In the northeast, the narrow Strait of Malacca separates the island from the Malay Peninsula, which is an extension of the Eurasian continent. In the southeast, the narrow Sunda Strait, containing the Krakatoa Archipelago, separates Sumatra from Java. The northern tip of Sumatra is near the Andaman Islands, while off the southeastern coast lie the islands of Bangka and Belitun ...
