Transcriptome of the pygmy grasshopper Formosatettix qinlingensis (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Formosatettix qinlingensis (Zheng, 1982) is a tiny grasshopper endemic to Qinling in China. For further study of its transcriptomic features, we obtained RNA-Seq data by Illumina HiSeq X Ten sequencing platform.

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

New estimates of genome size in Orthoptera and their evolutionary implications. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Animal genomes vary widely in size, and much of their architecture and content remains poorly understood. Even among related groups, such as orders of insects, genomes may vary in size by orders of magnitude-for reasons unknown.

Two species? – Limits of the species concepts in the pygmy grasshoppers of the Tetrix bipunctata complex (Orthoptera, Tetrigidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2021 Today, integrative taxonomy is often considered the gold standard when it comes to species recognition and delimitation. Using the Tetrix bipunctata complex, we here present a case where even integrative taxonomy may reach its limits.

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 ...

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 ...

On the specific status of Scelimena spicupennis and a new record of S. discalis from China with mitochondrial genome characterization (Orthoptera, Tetrigidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2023 The genus Scelimena Serville (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) from China is reviewed. One species, Scelimena spicupennis Zheng & Ou, 2003 (China: Yunnan) is redescribed, and a new record of Scelimena discalis (Hancock, 1915) from China is given.

Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome for the groundhopper Mazarredia convexa (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Using next generation sequencing (NGS), we determined the mitochondrial genome of Mazarredia convexa. The assembled mitochondrial genome of M. convexa was found to be 15,089 bp, consisting of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA
