Rectitropis is a genus of spur-throated grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least three described species in Rectitropis, found in Australia. [1] [2]
These three species belong to the genus Rectitropis:
The blue-faced malkoha or small green-billed malkoha, is a non-parasitic cuckoo found in the scrub and deciduous forests of peninsular India and Sri Lanka. It has a waxy, dark, blue-grey plumage on its upperparts and has a long tail with graduated white-tipped feathers. The throat and chin are dark with spiny pale feathers that are branched. The lower belly is a dull creamy to rufous colour. The bill is apple green, and a naked patch of blue skin surrounds the eye. The sexes are alike. The blue-faced malkoha is a bird of open forests and scrub jungle.
Grevillea, commonly known as spider flowers, is a genus of about 360 species of evergreen flowering plants in the family Proteaceae. Plants in the genus Grevillea are shrubs, rarely trees, with the leaves arranged alternately along the branches, the flowers zygomorphic, arranged in racemes at the ends of branchlets, and the fruit a follicle that splits down one side only, releasing one or two seeds.
Baru is an extinct genus of Australian mekosuchine crocodilian. It was semi-aquatic, around 4 m (13 ft) in length. Being semi-aquatic its habitat was around fresh pools of water in wet forests, ambushing their prey, much like modern species. The word Baru is Aboriginal and means "crocodile's ancestor".
Sjöstedt's greenbul is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found in western and central Africa.
The honeyguide greenbul is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is widespread throughout the African tropical rainforest.
The swamp palm bulbul, is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is monotypic within the genus Thescelocichla.
Sjöstedt's barred owlet, also known as Sjöstedt's owlet, is a species of owl in the family Strigidae from west central Africa.
Austrogomphus is a genus of dragonflies in the family Gomphidae, endemic to Australia. Species of Austrogomphus are tiny to medium-sized dragonflies, black in colour with yellowish markings. They are commonly known as hunters.
Chlorocypha is a genus of damselflies in the family Chlorocyphidae.
Mecistogaster is a genus of large Neotropical damselflies in the family Pseudostigmatidae, commonly known as helicopter damsels. There are eleven species distributed from Mexico to Argentina.
Pseudagrion is the largest genus of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae, with over 140 species. Its range includes most of Africa, much of Asia, and Australia. Africa holds most of the diversity with almost 100 species. It has occupied most of the freshwater habitats in its range, and dominates damselfly communities in habitats as different as desert pools, equatorial rainforests and montane streams.
Goniaea vocans is a species of grasshopper in the family Acrididae.
Austroicetes is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Oedipodinae and family Acrididae. Members of the genus typically feed on grass and herbs.
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.
Meruana is a genus of African grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, subfamily Hemiacridinae from eastern Africa.
Acridini is a tribe of insects in the subfamily Acridinae, of the insect family Acrididae and are sometimes called "silent slant-faced grasshoppers". It was firstly described as Truxalis Conicus in 1781
Catantopini is a tribe in the subfamily Catantopinae, a group of grasshoppers found in Africa, Asia and Australia.
Valanga is a genus of "bird grasshoppers" in the subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae. Species are found from the Indian subcontinent through southeast Asia and the Korean peninsula to Australia and the Pacific islands.
Heteracris is a genus of short-horned grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are more than 60 described species in Heteracris, found in Africa, southern Europe, and manland Asia through to India.
