Anaulacomera Bush Katydid / Esperança-Anaulacomera

Anaulacomera sp.

Description:

(Stål, 1873)

Orthoptera: Ensifera: Tettigonioidea: Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae: Phaneropterini: Anaulacomerina

Length/Comprimento: ~6cm.

Sex: ♀

Habitat:

Naturally found in areas with unadulterated vegetation. Often found in anthropic environments, where this one was found, possibly due to habitat degradation.

Naturalmente encontrados em áreas de mata. Normalmente encontrados no meio antrópico, onde este foi achado, possivelmente por causa da degradação ambiental.

Notes:

Como percebido pessoalmente, trata-se de uma fêmea de Anaulacomera sp., um membro da ordem Orthoptera, subordem Ensifera, superfamília Tettigonioidea, família Tettigoniidae, subfamília Phaneropterinae, tribo Phaneropterini (algumas entidades a colocam dentro da tribo Viadaniini, mas não acho que esteja correto) e subtribo Anaulacomerina.

Diferente de outros membros dos Tettigoniidae, Phaneropterinae raramente depositam seus ovos no solo, preferindo - na maioria das vezes - depositá-los sobre a superfície de galhos ou nas beiradas das folhas de arbustos. Esperanças Anaulacomera, juntamente com outros membros dos Phaneropterinae, possuem um orifício com uma membrana nas tíbias frontais; estes são seus tímpanos. Esperanças Anaulacomera são polifitófagos.

ENGLISH VERSION HERE:

As noticed in person, this is a female of Anaulacomera sp., a member of the order Orthoptera, suborder Ensifera, superfamily Tettigonioidea, family Tettigoniidae, subfamily Phaneropterinae, tribe Phaneropterini (some entities place them under Viadaniini, but I don't think it's correct) and subtribe Anaulacomerina. Unlike other subfamilies within the Tettigoniidae, the Phaneropterinae rarely deposit their eggs on the ground, instead choosing - most of the time - to glue them on the surface of twigs or on the edge of leaves. Members of this subfamily usually feed on the leaves and twigs of bushes, but rarely cause any damage to the plant. Anaulacomera katydids, along with other members of the Phaneropterinae possess one orifice with a membrane on the frontal tibiae; these are the creature's tympana. Anaulacomera katydids are poliphytophagous.
