Identification of Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets, etc.)

Good day everyone!
Help with the praying mantis. Caught on 27. 08.2015 Belarus, Grodno region, Mosty. In the city on a flower bed. Is Mantis religiosa really that color? I've only ever met green people.

Yes, they are.

I didn't know that there are mantises in Belarus. And where is the northern limit of their distribution?

They are on the north Prut in recent years, even from the Kostroma region there is a find.

1-Oedipoda caerulescens 2- Tettigonia viridissima 3-Phaneroptera falcata

3-Phaneroptera falcata

I'm not sure about him. Do plate wings come in this color?

2 Decticus
I'll bet a little.
About oedipods - is caerulescens necessary? Why not miniata or fedtschenkoi?

As for Tettigonia, I think it's caudata: the color of the eyes is purple, and the dark spots on the back thighs are distinguishable.

As for the plate wing, there are no options other than the genus Phaneroptera. But with views, options are possible. Ph. spinosa and Ph. bivittata are also known from Central Asia.

2 Tivanik:
I think your discovery of Ph. falcata in St. Petersburg is the first in general. So I can again suggest that you write a note in our collection Or make a joint one again, since I found the same species this summer in the vicinity of the city of Valdai, Novgorod region - which is much further south, but also for the first time for this point.

  
As for Tettigonia, I think it's caudata: the color of the eyes is purple, and the dark spots on the back thighs are distinguishable.

It's just a dark spot on my leg

Caudata has black spikes
, so I think it's viridissima.

I agree with you about Oedipus and plate wing.

2 Decticus

There you can see a brown stripe on the pronotum that is poorly distinguishable in the photo, I also wanted to write about caudates, but then I saw, in addition, black dots on the thighs are poorly visible. There is a taxon Tettigonia acutipennis, about which nothing is known, maybe it is not green and not caudata? About the strip, you should either ask the author or look at the image in the original size of which there is no...
In addition, rather long cerci.
Purple eyes - a reliable sign of caudata? I've never met Viridissima with one like that, and there's something wrong with that.

With black spots in caudata, by the way, it happens in different ways. In Kyrgyzstan, in the Tien Shan Mountains, caudates live almost without spots on their hind thighs (T. caudata mistshenkoi; if necessary, I can take a picture and post paratypes from the RSPU collection).

About T. acutipennis, I found only a map showing its distribution

That strange grasshopper in the photo from Uzbekistan, maybe T. caudata mistshenko

2 Decticus: unlike T. c. mistshenkoi: the wings are rather long.

Of course, it will be very useful!

2 Decticus: unlike T. c. mistshenkoi: the wings are rather long.

Perhaps the absence of black spots is a sign specifically of the subspecies T. c. mistshenkoi, they are mandatory for the nominative one, right? Is it Caudata or not, or is it a new subspecies?

Help with a grasshopper to the form if possible
Austria 6°44y22. 0H 12°58y08. 0E 08.08.15 31mm

how did you keep it so green?

Good afternoon. Yesterday, some kind of "cricket" also flew into the light in the city center...
The size is approximately 1.5 cm, or slightly larger. There is nothing better to remove.
Please help me with the title.

Nemobiinae gen. sp.?

Who can't identify a grasshopper I'll say

Good evening. Please define it. August, xinjiang. Mountains/steppes.

4 brown horse 1-2-3-5 Italian prus 6 blue-winged filly 7-8 black-striped filly 9-10 white or white-edged horse 11 cricket of some kind he jumped at my house and I let them out on the street

Nikita, there is no brown horse in the photo: marked # 3 (you probably took it as the 4th one) looks more like someone from the Chorthippus "dorsatus" group of species. Identifying Calliptamus to a species without seeing the inner side of the hind thigh is a risky business. White-banded filly (Chorthippus albomarginatus) (you have a "white or white-edged horse" - and where did you learn to express yourself so exquisitely?) - for China, the view is incredible, there is someone else there, although related. What you called the blue-winged filly - it is, of course, really Oedipoda-but you will have to prove to me that it is Oe. caerulescens for a long time and not the fact that you will convince me. You can't even see the color of the rear wing there. In the dry residue, there are still Oedaleus decorus (black-striped filly; however, the chance that this is another species of the same genus is also not zero) and "some kind of cricket". And, generally speaking, definitions without Latin names are not the point.

I apologize for the abruptness. Treat it as an educational procedure.

A scaly cricket, it looks like. If there is an exit to Gorokhov Street , then it is best to contact him.

Please look at URL #3064 at least up to genera

Please look at URL #3064 at least to the end

Chorthippus (Glyptobothrus) sp., из группы brunneus/biguttulus/mollis. But not a brown horse (not Ch. apricarius), whose wings are shorter and differ in venation (and there is no such pattern on the body).

So that the "brown horse" does not pop up again out of business, I suggest you read its photo - pay special attention to the median field of the elytra, which is unusually wide.
Male: https://www.flickr.com/photos/sanmartin/3788480294
Female: http://www.biopix.com/chorthippus-apricari...hoto-48372.aspx

By the way, rattles with long-winged females (including B. tuberculatum) seem to be considered as a special genus Bryodemella in recent years.

there may be a changeable horse in the 3064 response to the photo-chothippus biguttulus linnaeus

there may be a changeable seahorse in the 3064 response to the photo-chothippus biguttulus linnaeus

There, it is problematic to determine from the photo. You need to look, for example, chirping spines from the inside of the rear thighs, under a decent magnification. And then not the fact that it will help. This is a very complex complex of closely related species.

Since experts have been coming here recently, I'll ask for help with Platycleis.
On the dry slopes of the Dniester River with poor steppe vegetation near the village of Goraevka (Bakota) and the village of Vrublevci, Kamyanets-Podilsky district, Ukraine, Moldova begins to the south.
I note that the signs are similar to the first Platycleis in Enter from Crete.

Females.

Platycleis grisea? intermedia?
In general, how many species of platycleis fall on this territory?

If anyone can help, where does Pachytrachys gracilis lay its eggs?

Famously... At first, I thought about affinis - while I was looking at the end of the female's abdomen in profile. And when I looked at the photo below, affinis disappeared by itself The impression that the species in the exUSSR fauna was not noted (unless, of course, an aberrant individual). It would be good to start by reading K. Hartz. Well, taking into account the geography of the collection, you can try to offer a photo to the Austrians on http://www.forum-orthoptera.at/

Maybe an interlude? The female is post-mating possibly because the subgenital plate is raised.
Platycleis species can be distinguished by the cerci of males?

6-7 I don't know maybe ashy bush or what kind of forest lover

The type is defined in the name of the photo, homeland-Transcarpathia.

2DanMar: one head is good, but two are better I look at the genital plate, but I think about the 7th sternite. Yes, it looks like intermedia. But, by the way, I would not completely trust the opinion that in P. grisea this sternite is always flat. Once I caught larvae in Astrakhan, bred an imago, the female turned out with a "step" on this stubble, but the male sang like grisea.

And males on cerci differ only in some cases. In general, Platycleis (s. str.) is just the case when references to genitalia are often found in the definitions for males.

Maybe the male was grisea and the female intermedia?

Is it necessary to determine whether dissection is necessary?
Can you confirm my definition, YBK,
No. 1, No. 3 Platycleis escalerai?
№2 Platycleis affinis?
Photos of three copies, numbered, 2 photos for the second and third, like different types. The first and last are most likely the same view.
Already posted these photos, 2012, bump.

What you called escalerai is really similar (by the way, were there any instructions from the territory of Ukraine, not counting the Crimea?). With affinis , I'm not sure. Look at the proportions of the ovipositor, do they differ from your escalerai? By the way, according to my memories of training camps in Armenia, escalerai was noticeably larger than affinis.

Maybe some Conocephalus.

Maybe some kind of Conocephalus.

it looks like it, but in my opinion it was kind of strange: our blacksmiths, when moving, seem to "walk", rising up on their paws, ready to jump off at any moment, and this one had the impression that it crawls when moving in a plastunsky way, and when I shooed it, it rather pushed off with its hind legs, fell down P.S.
I took a closer look at her forehead is not an angle stretched forward like our swordsmen, but as if a pointed peak between the mustache protrudes or it just seems so in the photo

the third is a larva of ruspolia nitidula 1 unknown the second is similar to the larva of aiolopus sp

C Ruspolia nitidula agree with aiolopus no

Rummaged in the Net in my opinion the second is Acrotylus insubricus

Someone would give a tip, where to look for the first one now

Not necessarily insubricus, but Acrotylus does.

I looked at these comrades http://orthoptera.speciesfile.org/HomePage...a/HomePage.aspx
they do not give a different type for Asian Turkey, although khz
