Leprus intermedius Saussure, 1884 | |
Leprus intermedius, or Saussure's blue-winged grasshopper, is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in Central America and North America. [1] [2] [3] [4]
The Acrididae are the predominant family of grasshoppers, comprising some 10,000 of the 11,000 species of the entire suborder Caelifera. The Acrididae are best known because all locusts are of the Acrididae. The subfamily Oedipodinae is sometimes classified as a distinct family Oedipodidae in the superfamily Acridoidea. Acrididae grasshoppers are characterized by relatively short and stout antennae, and tympana on the side of the first abdominal segment.
Bandwings, or band-winged grasshoppers are the subfamily Oedipodinae of grasshoppers classified under the family Acrididae. They have a worldwide distribution and were originally elevated to full family status as the Oedipodidae. Many species primarily inhabit xeric weedy fields, and some are considered to be important locusts:
Derotmema is a genus of band-winged grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about five described species in Derotmema.
