Dactylotum is genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. [1] [2] They occur in North America. [2]
There are two species: [1]
The grasshopper subfamily Acridinae, sometimes called silent slant-faced grasshoppers, belong of the large family Acrididae in the Orthoptera: Caelifera.
Heteroceridae, the variegated mud-loving beetles, are a widespread and relatively common family of beetles found on every continent except for Antarctica.
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.
Pupilla is a genus of minute air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the subfamily Pupillinae of the family Pupillidae.
Oxychilus is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropods in the subfamily Oxychilinae of the family Oxychilidae, the glass snails.
Coenagrion is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae, commonly called the Eurasian Bluets. Species of Coenagrion are generally medium-sized, brightly coloured damselflies.
Ischnura is a genus of damselflies known as forktails in the family Coenagrionidae. Forktails are distributed worldwide, including various oceanic islands. The males have a forked projection at the tip of the abdomen which gives the group their common name.
Onychogomphus is a genus of dragonflies in the family Gomphidae. They are commonly known as Pincertails.
Euphaeidae, sometimes incorrectly named Epallagidae and commonly called gossamerwings, is a family of damselflies in the odonate superfamily Calopterygoidea. The family is small, consisting of around 78 species living species in nine genera occurring in the Palearctic, Australasia, and Asia. The family contains two subfamilies, Euphaeinae, encompassing all the living species and a single fossil genus, and the extinct Eodichromatinae, encompassing fossil genera from the Eocene to late Oligocene. Euphaeid species are large and mostly metallic-coloured, looking similar to species of damselflies in the family Calopterygidae.
Nehalennia is a genus of very small damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae. Most of the species are commonly known as Sprites. One species, N. speciosa occurs in Eurasia; the rest in North and South America.
Pyrgomorphidae is a family of grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera; it is the only family in the superfamily Pyrgomorphoidea, with a pan-tropical distribution. Their name is probably derived from pyrgos meaning "tower": a reference to the form (morph) of the head in the type genus Pyrgomorpha and other genera.
Dactylotum bicolor, also known as the rainbow grasshopper, painted grasshopper, or the barber pole grasshopper, is a species of grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is native to the United States, Canada and northern Mexico and exhibits aposematism. It was first described by the German entomologist Toussaint de Charpentier in 1843.
Libelloides is a genus of lacewings belonging to the owlfly family subfamily Ascalaphinae. The species of this genus are present in most of Europe. They inhabit dry meadows or dry coniferous forests.
Sphenarium is a grasshoppers' genus in the family Pyrgomorphidae indigenous to Mexico. Various species are caught and eaten as chapulines.
Trigonopteryx is a genus of Asian grasshoppers: typical of the family Trigonopterygidae.
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.
Tessellana is a genus of bush crickets in the tribe Platycleidini and genus group Platycleis, erected by Zeuner in 1941. Species can be found throughout mainland Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
Coryphistes is a genus of short-horned grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least three described species in Coryphistes, found in Australia.
Presbistus is a genus of Asian stick insects in the tribe Aschiphasmatini, erected by William Forsell Kirby in 1896. Species currently have a known distribution in: India, Cambodia, Borneo, Java and Sumatra.
Asiotmethis is a genus of European and Western Asian grasshoppers belonging to the family Pamphagidae, erected by Boris Uvarov in 1943. Belonging to the tribe Thrinchini, the species can be found in Greece through to Iran and central Asia.
