Cornops is a genus of spur-throat toothpick grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about six described species in Cornops. [1] [2]
These six species belong to the genus Cornops:
Pirate spiders, members of the family Mimetidae, are araneomorph spiders which typically feed on other spiders.
Acanthoctenus is a genus of Central to South American wandering spiders first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1877.
Proechimys is a genus of South American spiny rats of the family Echimyidae. All species of the genus are terrestrial. In the lowland Neotropical forests, Proechimys rodents are often the most abundant non-volant mammals. They are recognizable by reason of their elongated heads and long rostra, large and erect ears, narrow and long hind feet, and tails always shorter than head-and-body lengths. The dorsal pelage comprises a mixture of expanded, varyingly stiffened spines — hence the vernacular name of spiny rats — and soft hairs.
Behn's bat, Behn's big-eared bat, or Behn's graybeard bat is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae found in Brazil and Peru. It is known only from six specimens and is considered rare. It feeds on insects and small fruits.
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.
Gomphocerinae, sometimes called "slant-faced grasshoppers", are a subfamily of grasshoppers found on every continent but Antarctica and Australia.
Caponiidae is a family of ecribellate haplogyne spiders that are unusual in a number of ways. They differ from other spiders in lacking book lungs and having the posterior median spinnerets anteriorly displaced to form a transverse row with the anterior lateral spinnerets. Most species have only two eyes, which is also unusual among spiders. A few species of Caponiidae variously have four, six or eight eyes. In some species the number of eyes will increase when the spiderling changes its skin as it grows towards adulthood.
Lamproblattidae is a small family of South and Central American cockroaches in the order Blattodea. It consists of three genera and 10 species:
Cornops aquaticum is a semiaquatic species of grasshopper native to the Neotropics, from southern Mexico south to central Argentina and Uruguay. It feeds and breeds exclusively on members of the aquatic plant family Pontederiaceae, especially water hyacinth, and is being investigated as a possible biological pest control agent for the water hyacinth in countries where that plant is invasive.
Stenacris is a genus of spur-throat toothpick grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about six described species in Stenacris.
Leptysminae is a subfamily of spur-throat toothpick grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least 20 genera in Leptysminae, found in North, Central, and South America.
Amblytropidia is a genus of slant-faced grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about 14 described species in Amblytropidia.
Brachystola is a genus of grassland lubber grasshoppers in the family Romaleidae, found in the United States and Mexico. They are among the largest grasshoppers found in North America. The species Brachystola magna happens to have large and easily visible meiotic chromosomes, and was used in early genetic studies.
Dichroplus is a genus of spur-throated grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are more than 20 described species in Dichroplus, found in North, Central, and South America.
Ronderosia is a genus of spur-throated grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about 10 described species in Ronderosia, found in South America.
Leptysmini is a tribe of spur-throat toothpick grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about 9 genera and more than 30 described species in Leptysmini, found in North, Central, and South America.
Tucayaca is a genus of spur-throat toothpick grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about five described species in Tucayaca, found mainly in South America.
Leptysma is a genus of spur-throat toothpick grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about five described species in Leptysma.
Psiloscirtus is a genus of short-horned grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about seven described species in Psiloscirtus, found in Central and South America.
The Ommatolampidinae are a subfamily of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, found in central and South America, and based on the type genus Ommatolampis. Derived from the "Ommatolampides" used by Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1893, the first use of the name in its current form was by Rodríguez et al. in 2013; this taxon appears to be paraphyletic.
