Abracris is a genus of short-horned grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least three described species in Abracris, found in North, Central, and South America. [1] [2]
These three species belong to the genus Abracris:
Planorbidae, common name the ramshorn snails or ram's horn snails, is a family of air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod molluscs. Unlike most molluscs, the blood of ram's horn snails contains iron-based hemoglobin instead of copper-based hemocyanin. As a result, planorbids are able to breathe oxygen more efficiently than other molluscs. The presence of hemoglobin gives the body a reddish colour. This is especially apparent in albino animals.
Oxyothespis is a genus of praying mantis in the family Toxoderidae. Members of this genus have been called grass mantises.
Drasteria is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
The Phaneropterinae, the sickle-bearing bush crickets or leaf katydids, are a subfamily of insects within the family Tettigoniidae. Nearly 2,060 species in 85 genera throughout the world are known. They are also known as false katydids or round-headed katydids.
Issidae is a family of planthoppers described by Spinola in 1839, belonging to the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha superfamily Fulgoroidea.
Dinidoridae is a small family of hemipteran "true bugs" comprising about sixteen genera and a hundred species the Hemiptera suborder Heteroptera. As a group the family does not have any common name. Until the late 19th century they were generally regarded as a subfamily of Pentatomidae.
The Trigonopterygoidea are an insect superfamily in the Orthoptera: Caelifera. Sometimes described as leaf grasshoppers, American species in the Xyronotidae have also been called razor-backed bush-hoppers.
Austracris is a genus of Orthoptera: Caeliferan insect in the family Acrididae: subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae. It includes an Australian pest, the spur-throated locust.
Romaleinae is a subfamily of lubber grasshoppers in the family Romaleidae, found in North and South America. More than 60 genera and 260 described species are placed in the Romaleinae.
Poecilotettix is a genus of spur-throated grasshoppers in the family Acrididae and the tribe Dactylotini. There two known described species in Poecilotettix.
Cibolacris is a genus of slant-faced grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least four described species in Cibolacris.
Orphulella is a genus of slant-faced grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are more than 20 described species in Orphulella, all found in the Americas.
Stenacris is a genus of spur-throat toothpick grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about six described species in Stenacris.
Aulocara is a genus of slant-faced grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least three described species in Aulocara.
Mermiria is a genus of slant-faced grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least four described species in Mermiria.
Rhyparochromus is a genus of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are more than 40 described species in Rhyparochromus.
Cyrtacanthacris is the type genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae. Species records are distributed in Africa through to Indo-China.
Meloimorpha is a genus of cricket in the subfamily Cachoplistinae and tribe Homoeogryllini. The recorded distribution is: India, China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam.
Pachyacris is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae with no assigned tribe. Species are recorded from sub-continental India, Indo-China through to Vietnam.
Taeniopoda is a genus of horse lubbers, fairly large grasshoppers in the family Romaleidae that are native to southwestern United States, Mexico and Central America. There are about 12 described species in Taeniopoda. Taeniopoda is very closely related to Romalea, leading some recent authorities to consider the former a junior synonym the latter.
