Guides
Ceuthophilus agassizii
Ceuthophilus agassizii is a camel cricket species in the family Rhaphidophoridae, described by Scudder in 1861. As a member of the genus Ceuthophilus, it shares the characteristic humpbacked profile, elongated antennae, and powerful jumping legs typical of camel crickets. The species is native to western North America, with confirmed records from British Columbia and Washington. Like other Ceuthophilus species, it inhabits cool, damp, dark environments.
Ceuthophilus chiricahuae
Chiricahua cave cricket
Ceuthophilus chiricahuae is a species of camel cricket (family Rhaphidophoridae) endemic to North America. The species was described by Hubbell in 1936 and is named for the Chiricahua Mountains region. Like other members of the genus Ceuthophilus, it is wingless and adapted to cool, dark, moist habitats. Very few observations of this species have been recorded, with only six documented occurrences in biodiversity databases.
Ceuthophilus guttulosus angulosus
Camel cricket, Cave cricket
Ceuthophilus guttulosus angulosus is a subspecies of camel cricket in the family Rhaphidophoridae. As a member of the genus Ceuthophilus, it shares traits with other American camel crickets: wingless adults, humpbacked appearance, and elongated antennae adapted for navigation in dark environments. This subspecies has been documented in several eastern and midwestern U.S. states. Like other camel crickets, it is primarily associated with cool, damp, dark habitats and is nocturnal in activity.
Ceuthophilus guttulosus nigricans
Ceuthophilus guttulosus nigricans is a subspecies of camel cricket in the family Rhaphidophoridae. Like other members of the genus Ceuthophilus, it is wingless, nocturnal, and adapted to dark, humid environments. The subspecies designation indicates darker coloration compared to the nominate form. It has been recorded in the eastern United States from Indiana to North Carolina.
Ceuthophilus hebardi
Ceuthophilus hebardi is a species of camel cricket in the family Rhaphidophoridae, first described by Hubbell in 1936. Like other members of the genus Ceuthophilus, it is wingless and possesses the characteristic hump-backed appearance and exceptionally long antennae typical of camel crickets. The species is found in North America, with distribution records from Utah.
Ceuthophilus pallidus
plains camel cricket
Ceuthophilus pallidus, the plains camel cricket, is a native North American camel cricket in the family Rhaphidophoridae. It is distinguished from other Ceuthophilus species by its pale coloration and association with plains and grassland habitats rather than caves. The species is wingless and nocturnal, with exceptionally long antennae adapted for navigation in dark environments. It belongs to a genus of approximately 90 North American species, many of which are habitat specialists.
Ceuthophilus paucispinosus
huachuca camel cricket
Ceuthophilus paucispinosus, known as the huachuca camel cricket, is a species of camel cricket in the family Rhaphidophoridae. It is a wingless, humpbacked insect with exceptionally long antennae, typical of the genus Ceuthophilus. The species has been documented in Arizona and is part of the diverse North American camel cricket fauna comprising roughly 90 species in this genus.
Ceuthophilus variegatus
variegated camel cricket
Ceuthophilus variegatus is a camel cricket species described by Scudder in 1894. Like other members of the genus Ceuthophilus, it possesses the characteristic humpbacked appearance, extraordinarily long antennae, and powerful hind legs that define camel crickets. The species is recorded from northeastern Mexico and Texas, placing it in the southern portion of the genus's North American range. As with other Ceuthophilus species, it likely inhabits dark, damp environments including caves, woodlands, and human structures.
Ceuthophilus yavapai
Yavapai Camel Cricket
Ceuthophilus yavapai is a camel cricket species in the family Rhaphidophoridae, first described by Hubbell in 1936. It belongs to a genus of wingless crickets commonly associated with dark, humid habitats. The species is known from Arizona and is part of the North American camel cricket fauna, which includes species often found in caves, woodlands, and occasionally human structures. Like other Ceuthophilus, it likely possesses the enlarged hind legs and long antennae characteristic of camel crickets.
Melanoplus davisi
Melanoplus davisi is a species of spur-throated grasshopper in the family Acrididae, described by Hebard in 1918 from the southeastern United States. It belongs to the large genus Melanoplus, which contains numerous economically and ecologically significant grasshopper species. The species appears to be relatively poorly documented in the primary grasshopper literature of the western United States, suggesting it may be of limited distribution or abundance compared to more widespread Melanoplus species.
