Sphingonotus rubescens is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in the Palearctic. [1] [2]
These subspecies belong to the species Sphingonotus rubescens:
Acrididae, commonly called short-horned grasshoppers, 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:
The Melanoplinae are a subfamily of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. They are distributed across the Holarctic and Neotropical realms. They are one of the two largest subfamilies in the Acrididae. As of 2001 the Melanoplinae contained over 800 species in over 100 genera, with more species being described continuously.
The blusher is the common name for several closely related species of the genus Amanita. A. rubescens, or the blushing amanita, is found in Europe and eastern North America, and A. novinupta, also known as the new bride blushing amanita, is found in western North America. Both their scientific and common names are derived from the propensity of their flesh to turn pink upon bruising or cutting.
Chorthippus is a large genus of acridid grasshoppers with around 230 described species. The genus may be subdivided into subgenera including: Altichorthippus, Chorthippus and Glyptobothrus, with other species not placed.
Stenobothrus is a genus of grasshoppers found in Asia, Europe, and North Africa.
Gomphocerinae, sometimes called "slant-faced grasshoppers", are a subfamily of grasshoppers found on every continent but Antarctica and Australia.
Acrida is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. The genus contains around 40 species which are found in Africa, Europe, Asia, North America, Hawaii, and Australia. Insects of this genus are omnivorous and a well-known pest of many agricultural crops.
Podismini is a tribe of "spur-throated grasshoppers" in the family Acrididae. This tribe is unlike others in the subfamily Melanoplinae in that genera are found throughout the northern hemisphere, with a substantial number occurring outside the Americas.
Sphingonotus is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, subfamily Oedipodinae, found in Europe Africa, Asia and Australia.
Gerenia is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Catantopinae and tribe Gereniini. Species can be found in India and Indo-China.
Chorthippus maritimus is a species of slant-faced grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in Asia.
Sphingonotus lluciapomaresi, the Iberian sand Grasshopper, is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found on the Iberian Peninsula.
Sphingonotus azurescens, the azure sand grasshopper, is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in southern Europe and northern Africa.
Sphingonotus imitans, the Algarve sand grasshopper, is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found on the Iberian Peninsula.
Conophyma is the type genus of grasshoppers of the subfamily Conophyminae and tribe Conophymini. Species are recorded from central Asia.
Sphingonotus corsicus, the Corsican sand grasshopper, is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in Corsica and other Mediterranean countries.
Flatida is a genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae and tribe Phromniini. Much of the literature on this genus refers to the name Phromnia, which has recently been recognized to be a junior synonym of Flatida. Species from the genus are found in tropical Africa and Asia.
