Abstract

Although Gryllacrididae are a largely southern hemisphere insect family, they are relatively poorly represented in southern Africa, with three genera (Ametroides Karny, 1928, Glomeremus Karny, 1937, and Stictogryllacris Karny, 1937) and ten species and subspecies recorded from the region. All Ametroides and Glomeremus species are wingless while those of Stictogryllacris are long-winged. All species are arboreal and nocturnal, returning by day to characteristically silk-spun shelters between leaves. Here, we present a diagnosis, key to genera, and high-quality images to assist in identification of Gryllacrididae. By compiling all published information in one place, we hope to facilitate future researchers to investigate this poorly known group.
非洲南部的Gryllacididae(直翅目:Ensifera)
尽管Gryllacididae主要是南半球的一个昆虫科,但它们在南部非洲的代表性相对较差,有三个属(Ametroides Karny,1928,Glomeremus Karny,1937和Stictogrylacris Karny,2017)和该地区记录的十个物种和亚种。所有的Ametroides和Glomeremos物种都是无翼的,而Stictogrylacris的物种是长翼的。所有物种都是树栖和夜间活动的,白天会回到树叶之间特有的丝织避难所。在这里,我们提供了一种诊断、属的关键和高质量的图像,以帮助识别Gryllacididae。通过在一个地方汇编所有已发表的信息,我们希望为未来的研究人员调查这个鲜为人知的群体提供便利。
