Uromenus is a genus of bush crickets in the sub-family Bradyporinae and tribe Ephippigerini. [1] [2]
Species in this genus are found throughout much of mainland Europe and northern Africa. [1] The type species U. rugosicollis occurs in Western Europe and was originally placed in the similar genus Ephippiger ; it is distinguished from the latter by its pronotum, which has side keels in rear half, forming a distinct angle between top and sides. These insects are also apterous and the female ovipositors are up-curved towards tip. [3]
Orthoptera Species File (OSF) lists: [1]
One species group is listed in OSF: the Uromenus poncyi species group, which contains U. poncyi, U. angustelaminatus , and U. silviae . [1]
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:
Isophya is a genus of bush crickets, in the tribe Barbitistini, found from mainland Europe to western Asia.
Trigonidiinae is a subfamily of insects in the order Orthoptera, suborder Ensifera, based on the type genus Trigonidium. They are often referred to as sword-tail crickets, winged bush crickets or trigs.
The subfamily Pseudophyllinae contains numerous species in the family Tettigoniidae, the katydids or bush crickets. Sometimes called "true katydids", together with the crickets of suborder Ensifera, they form part of the insect order Orthoptera which also contains grasshoppers.
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.
Gomphocerinae, sometimes called "slant-faced grasshoppers", are a subfamily of grasshoppers found on every continent but Antarctica and Australia.
Ephippiger is a genus of Palaearctic bush crickets described by Berthold in 1827, belonging to the family Tettigoniidae, subfamily Bradyporinae and tribe Ephippigerini.
The Bradyporinae are a subfamily in the family Tettigoniidae, based on the type genus Bradyporus. First described as a family, "Bradyporidae", the first use as Bradyporinae was by Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1878.
Antaxius is a genus of bush crickets in the tribe Platycleidini found in Europe.
Typophyllum is a genus of Neotropical, leaf-mimicking katydids or bush crickets belonging to the subfamily Pterochrozinae.
Podoscirtinae is a subfamily of crickets in the family Gryllidae.
Acinipe is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Pamphagidae. There are more than 20 described species in Acinipe, found in Southern Europe and North Africa.
Odontura is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Phaneropterinae and typical of the tribe Odonturini. Species can be found in Africa and Europe.
Poecilimon is a genus of bush crickets in the subfamily Phaneropterinae and tribe Barbitistini. Species can be found in: central and Southeast Europe, the south of the European part of the former USSR, Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, the Caucasus, Persia and extends in Central Asia to the Altai mountains.
The Ephippigerini are a tribe of bush crickets in the subfamily Bradyporinae, erected by Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1878. Species have been recorded from mainland Europe, North Africa and the Horn of Africa.
Pamphaginae is a subfamily of grasshoppers in the family Pamphagidae, with species found in Africa, Europe and Asia.
Parasteropleurus is a genus of bush crickets in the tribe Ephippigerini, erected by J. Barat in 2012 with insects that resembled Steropleurus. To date (2022) species have been recorded from the Iberian peninsula and North Africa.
Sciobia is a genus of crickets in the family Gryllidae and monotypic tribe Sciobiini; it was erected by Hermann Burmeister in 1838. Species can be found in NW Africa and the Iberian peninsula.
Phyllodromica is a genus of mostly Palaearctic cockroaches in the subfamily Ectobiinae, erected by Franz Xaver Fieber in 1853. The recorded distribution for species includes: mainland Europe, North Africa, the Middle East through to central Asia.
