Abstract

Usually medium- or large-sized insects; winged, brachypterous or apterous. Mouthparts mandibulate. Prothorax large. Hind legs usually enlarged and modified for jumping; coxae small and somewhat widely separated; tarsi 3- or 4-segmented, rarely with 5 or fewer than 3 segments. Fore wings forming more or less thickened tegmina with submarginal costal vein. Wing-pads of nymph undergo reversal during development. Female generally with well-developed ovipositor, not concealed by 7th or 8th abdominal sterna. Male external genitalia symmetrical, concealed at rest by enlarged 9th abdominal sternum which may or may not bear a pair of styles. Cerci usually short and almost invariably unsegmented. Specialized auditory and stridulatory organs frequently developed. Metamorphosis slight.
