Topic: Ensifera


In the News (Mon 28 Dec 09)

  
  Gordon's Orthoptera Page
Among the Ensifera the Groundhoppers lay their eggs in small groups or bundles clumped together with a stalk, and the Large Gold Grasshopper lays its eggs in a frothy sort case (like polystyrene) in the broken stems off stems of woody plants.
Most of the remaining Ensifera lay their eggs in a frothy sort case (like polystyrene) in the soil, the eggs are layed near the bottom and the hatchlings climb up out through the frothy tube.
In the Ensifera mating is fairly straight forward, the male approaches the female and if she is ready to mate the male mounts her and mating takes place, it can last from 20 minutes to several hours and the male may fall off the female and be dragged around on his back by her.

 Ensifera ensifera & Tacsonia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In the present study, the effect of habitat fragmentation on the specialised interactions between the long-tubed flowers of Passiflora mixta and its extremely long-billed pollinator the Sword-billed hummingbird Ensifera ensifera was studied in natural forest and in open land.
Pollen collection from skinned specimens of E. ensifera contained high levels of Passiflora pollen and indicated that this hummingbird is a frequent and important visitor of Passiflora.
It could be interesting to make a study of E. ensifera bill length and Tacsonia corolla tube length in all of the Andes.

Their monophyly is well established, although their phylogenetic relationships among the Ensifera are still a matter of debate (Hennig, 1981).
A cricket stridulates by rubbing its raised tegmina together: the file of the right tegmen is then stricken by the plectrum of the left tegmen, which causes the tegmina (especially the harp and, when present, the mirror) to vibrate (Bennet-Clark, 1989).
As several classifications have been proposed these last twenty years by various authors, the situation is far from being clear and simple, and a large amount of phylogenetic work remains to be done.

The Ensifera includes the katydids, crickets and other related groups; it is sometimes placed in its own order, the Grylloptera.
British Columbia has 40 species of Ensifera in nine families; one of the species is an alien introduction and five are adventive (recorded, but not established) species.
Compared to those of the Ensifera, the antennae of the Caelifera are thicker and shorter, seldom as long as the body (thus an alternate name for them - “short-horned grasshoppers”).

Kurzfühlerschrecken (Caelifera) und Langfühlerschrecken (Ensifera) wurden früher als Unterordnungen in der Ordnung der Saltatoria zusammengefaßt, heute jedoch meist als eigene Ordnungen aufgestellt.
Die Systematik der Ensifera wird nicht einheitlich gehandhabt.
An dieser Stelle wird die gebräuchliche Einteilung in 3 Überfamilien verwendet.

Zeuner's (1939) study of Ensifera increased the list by separating Gryllotalpidae from Gryllidae, and Ander (1939) by elevating several subfamilies of Gryllacrididae to family level: Stenopelmatidae, Schizodactylidae and Rhaphidophoridae (Sharov (1968) again reduced the last family to subfamily level).
Sharov's (1968) tree of extinct and extant Ensifera is often cited.

 Orthoptera Families
The Orthoptera are divided into 2 suborders, the Ensifera which includes all crickets and katydids, and the Caelifera which includes grasshoppers.
Members of the Ensifera can usually be distinguished by their long antennae and ovipositors of the females.
Members of the Caelifera have short antennae and their females do not possess an ovipositor.

The first fossil Orthoptera appear in the upper Carboniferous with the first Ensifera (Chopard 1920) appearing in the Permian and the first Caelifera (Ander 1939) in the Triassic (Gorochov 1995; Kukalova-Peck 1991; Sharov 1968; Zeuner 1939).
A sister group relationship between Ensifera and Phasmatodea has been proposed (Sharov 1968), but this is inconclusively supported according to Kristensen (1995) who suggested that the characters involved (wing venation) are not synapomorphies.
Molecular data show a unitary Orthoptera as the sister group of a clade comprising the Phasmida and the Embiidina (Flook and Rowell 1998, Flook et al.

The family Tettigoniidae contains the more than 6,800 species known in American English as katydids and in British English as bush-crickets.
It is part of the suborder Ensifera and the only family in the superfamily Tettigonoidea.
They are also known as long-horned grasshoppers, although they are more closely related to crickets than to grasshoppers.
