Cornfield Grasshopper

Introduction

Sphenarium purpurascens (Spanish: Chapul n de milpa and Portuguese: Gafanhoto-do-milho, i.e., corn-field grasshopper), is a grasshopper species in the genus Sphenarium found in Mexico and Guatemala. The harvesting of the grasshoppers in Mexico for human consumption can be a way for managing pest outbreaks. Such strategies allow decreased use of pesticide and create a source of income for farmers.

Morphological Features

Total body length 18.01–30.24 mm in females, 16.04–28.14 mm in males. Antennae filiform, slightly shorter in females or longer than head and pronotum together in males. Head subtriangular-compressed, wider than long with spherical eyes in females or subtriangular-elongated moderately longer than wide with oval eyes in males. Fastigium notably reduced, less than half the length of interocular space in females or moderately elongated, nearly half the length of interocular space in males. Pronotum with ventral bands generally present, wide and whitish. Dorsal ovipositor valves lanceolate, moderately elongated towards apex. Male genitalia: bridge of epiphallus as long as length of lateral plates; aedeagal valves long with smooth ventral borders and an apical spine slightly longer or notably shorter than base of aedeagal sclerites; lateral borders of ramus of cingulum strongly concave, inflections of supraramus moderately developed. Colour: antennae black, yellow or orange.
