Eumastacidae

provided by wikipedia EN

Eumastacidae are a family of grasshoppers sometimes known as monkey- or matchstick grasshoppers. They usually have thin legs that are held folded at right angles to the body, sometimes close to the horizontal plane. Many species are wingless and the head is at an angle with the top of the head often jutting above the line of the thorax and abdomen. They have three segmented tarsi and have a short antenna with a knobby organ at the tip. They do not have a prosternal spine or tympanum. Most species are tropical and the diversity is greater in the Old World. They are considered primitive within the Orthoptera and feed on algae, ferns and gymnosperms, the more ancient plant groups.[1]

The families Chorotypidae and Morabidae were formerly included in this group as subfamilies but are now considered as families within the Eumastacoidea. With the exception of the central Asian Gomphomastacinae, all other subfamilies are restricted to South America.[2]

Eumastacidae ( Norwegian )

provided by wikipedia NO

Eumastacidae er en gruppe av rettvingene (Orthoptera) og tilhører en familiegruppe blant gresshoppene.


Utseende

Små til mellomstore (opptil 45 mm), slanke gresshopper, gjerne livlig farget i grønt, blått og rødt. Hodet er avlangt, fasettøynene runde og noe utstående. Det finnes både fullt vingede og vingeløse arter. Beina er temmelig lange og slanke, de sitter gjerne nokså oppreist med bakbeina vidt spredte.

Levevis

Eumastacidae kan være nattaktive eller dagaktive, og er livlige insekter, de artene som har funksjonelle vinger kan sverme i solskinn og minne litt om vannymfer. De kan finnes i mange ulike miljøer, fra ørken til regnskog, særlig er de artsrike i det sistnevnte miljøet. De lever av ulike planter.

Utbredelse

Eumastacidae finnes i Sør- og Mellom-Amerika, det sørlige Nord-Amerika, på Madagaskar og i store deler av Asia. Familien som her definert mangler på fastlandet i Afrika og i Australia.

Fossile arter

Det er kjent 5 fossile arter i denne gruppen. Den eldste er Archaeomastax jurassicus som stammer fra sen jura, Sentral-Asia. Videre har vi den fossile slekten Taphacris med én art fra tidlig kritt, Kina og tre arter fra miocen-perioden, Colorado.
