Reassessment of the Phylogenetics of Two Pygmy Grasshopper Generic Groups Tetrix and Systolederus through Mitochondrial Phylogenomics Using Four New Mitochondrial Genome Assemblies [PDF]
InsectsMitochondrial genomes offer pragmatic genetic markers to reconstruct evolutionary relationships and inform taxonomic classifications. Here, we present complete mitochondrial sequences for four Chinese pygmy grasshoppers (Tetrigidae), aiming to reevaluate

Mitochondrial genomes of eight Scelimeninae species (Orthoptera) and their phylogenetic implications within Tetrigoidea [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Scelimeninae is a key member of the pygmy grasshopper community, and an important ecological indicator. No mitochondrial genomes of Scelimeninae have been reported to date, and the monophyly of Scelimeninae and its phylogenetic relationship within ...

The importance of validated alpha taxonomy for phylogenetic and DNA barcoding studies: a comment on species identification of pygmy grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Tetrigidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2017 In a recently published paper on colour polymorphism in a Pygmy grasshopper from China (Zhao et al 2016) an unidentified Paratettix sp. was misidentified as Tetrix bolivari. This case highlights the need for correct species identification and provides an

Complete mitochondrial genomes and phylogenetic relationships of two Saussurella species (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) from China [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. ResourcesThe complete mitochondrial genomes of Saussurella cornuta (Haan, 1843) and Saussurella longiptera (Yin, 1984) were sequenced and analyzed. The circular mitogenomes of S. cornuta and S. longiptera are 16,531 bp and 16,313 bp in length, respectively.

Comparative phylotranscriptomics of four sympatric tetrigids provides implications for convergent evolution and morphological discordance [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground The classification of pygmy grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) has historically relied on morphological traits that are prone to homoplasy, leading to persistent taxonomic instability, particularly at the Scelimeninae-Tetriginae subfamily ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2013 Dimorphism in wing length is well known in many insect species. It is generally believed that a trade-off between dispersal and reproduction exists, with the long-winged (LW) morph being a better disperser due to its superior flight capability. The short-
