Ritchiella is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae with species found in Africa. [1] [2]
The following species are recognised in the genus Ritchiella: [1]
Sjöstedt's greenbul is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found in western and central Africa.
Acanthacris is a genus of African grasshoppers in the subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae.
Sphodromantis is a large genus of praying mantises concentrated in Africa, sometimes considered a synonym of the genus Hierodula: from the same tribe, Paramantini. Outside their range especially, many share the common name African Mantis.
Macrotona is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae and tribe Catantopini. It includes eight described species and around 35 undescribed species. They are often found in association with spinifex.
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.
Acrotylus is a genus of grasshopper in the family Acrididae and the type genus of the tribe Acrotylini.
Catantopini is a tribe in the subfamily Catantopinae, a group of grasshoppers found in Africa, Asia and Australia.
The Cyrtacanthacridinae are a subfamily of Orthoptera: Caelifera in the family Acrididae. They are sometimes referred-to as bird locusts, criquets voyageurs in French-speaking Africa, and Knarrschrecken in German.
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.
Trinervitermes is a termite genus belonging to family Termitidae. Members are native to the Old World. They inhabit grasslands and store grass in their nests or mounds, just below the ground surface. Their grass-collecting activities are mainly nocturnal. The soldier caste has atrophied mandibles and a fontanelle squirt gun on the frons. Diterpenes and monoterpenes are released to deter ants and smaller predators, but these are not effective against larger mammalian predators. Due to the snout on the head of soldiers and their grass-collecting habits, they are known as snouted harvester termites.
Chondracris is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae. Species records are distributed throughout Asia: from India, southern China, Korea, Japan, Indo-China and Java.
Gastrimargus is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Oedipodinae. The recorded distribution of species in this genus includes Africa, Asia, and Oceania.
Velarifictorus is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae and tribe Gryllini. Species have been recorded in Australia, Asia, Africa and the southeastern US.
The Hierodulinae are a subfamily of praying mantids, originally used by Brunner von Wattenwyl. It was restored as part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy, and now contains genera previously placed elsewhere in the family Mantidae.
Phthersigena is an Australasian genus of praying mantids: in the subfamily Fulciniinae and tribe Paraoxypilini. It is one of several genera containing certain species called "unicorn mantids", due to a process on their heads.
Kinkalidia is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae with species found in Africa.
Minyacris is a genus of spur-throated grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are two described species in Minyacris. Minyacris nana is found in southeastern Australia, and Minyacris occidentalis is found in western Australia.
