Oh, by the way, I have a question about Calliptamus sp.

Here, for example, is a male calliptamus, which I identified as Calliptamus italicus italicus (L.). Ukraine, Kherson region, August 2010. On a vacant lot outside the city. In the low, dry grass at the edge of the asphalt road.

More photos of the same male: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. And here is a similar female, which I have assigned to the same species: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

But calliptamus is a male that differs in color. Slovlen at the same place, also in the knc of August. Unfortunately, I didn't even look for a female. I just didn't notice that they didn't look alike.

Here is another photo of this male from other angles: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
According to the determinant of Beibiyenko and Mishchenko (Locust fauna of the USSR. Part I) it turns out that this is also Calliptamus italicus italicus (L.). Please confirm or deny.

Barbitistes constrictus-pine sawtail. Of course, imago (the rudiments of wings in the larvae of straight-winged birds do not look like this, and in sawtails, the larvae of females do not have teeth on the ovipositor). Sounds in this group (the Barbitistini tribe, which also includes Isophya, Poecilimon, and others) are often produced by both sexes, but they have the character of clicks with the spectrum strongly shifted to the ultrasonic region. I had a male pine sawtail sing , but I could barely hear it and couldn't record it (again, because the carrier frequency was too high).

The monograph by K.-G. Heller presents waveforms of many European grasshoppers, including this species.

About prusov: in principle, their color is very variable. It is impossible to focus on it when determining (if we are not talking about the rear shins and the inner side of the rear thighs, of course). About C. italicus - you have something strange written: in fact, italicus is a Linnean species. If possible, please provide an exact link to the source.

P.S. I think I figured it out... See: there, in OSF:

species abbreviatus Ikonnikov, 1913
synonym holoptera Ramme, 1951
synonym italicus Ikonnikov, 1911
....
species italicus (Linnaeus, 1758)

That is, what is written means exactly what is written in the work of 1911. Ikonnikov's reference to C. italicus was actually to a different species, which he later described as abbreviatus.

But then there is, indeed, a nomenclature problem. Namely, in the same place, below:
species mus Bolívar, 1936
subspecies abbreviata Bolívar, 1936

Actually, as far as I understand, the name Calliptamus mus abbreviata Bolívar, 1936 is a junior homonym of the name Calliptamus abbreviatus Ikonnikov, 1913 and should be replaced.

2 Decticus: This is a white-fronted grasshopper, a real nymph. I know all their ages, this is it.
2 Dichelima: There were CRICKETS near the pond!. I also saw tripersts, but they were very small. Probably these reconciliations will still be larger - 0.8-1 cm. Similar to the usual ones, but very small, I caught a few, left one for the night, gave parsley, he sang. But a few days later he died, apparently the humidity is needed. I wanted to save the rest but it didn't work out! If there are any suspicions about me, then it was just a cricket, stopover. Black, imago, female also seems to have seen.
The song is similar to the stem, but this one is more continuous, the tone is higher.By the way, their head is small in proportion to the body, smaller than that of standard grilluses.

Then maybe it was Pteronemobius heydeni? It has a body length of 5-7 mm, occurs near water. Probably very lucky to meet such insects!

I have photos by the way!! But I don't think that's necessary here...

Well, I wouldn't say that any high-quality photos would be superfluous here. Many people do not ask questions directly on the forum, but compare the insects that they have caught or planted with the photos that are posted here. If you can clearly see the signs of the view from all sides in the photo, then it is advisable to post it (if you don't mind sharing it for general use). The main thing is to sign a reliable name and indicate the geographical point, the nature of the biotope, and any other bright signs that can be identified. It is advisable (as I think) to take very detailed photos so that you can get a good look at the animals.

By the law of meanness, the rarest species are never photographed in sufficient detail and in fine detail. Sometimes even a few blurry photos can't be found online. But there are plenty of photos that are often found. But this does not mean that you should forget about them, because it often happens that, for example, on the Internet there are a mountain of photos of a grasshopper from above and from the side, but none from the ventral side. And someone wants to look at the animal from this position.
