Orthoptera Olivier, 1789 View in CoL sensu nov.
New diagnosis. Forewing (figs 1.bc 1516). MA differentiated into MA1 and MA2 (absent in some Caelifera, in all Permoraphidiidae , and in some Ensifera sensu nov.); MA1 or MA generally fused with RP (absent in all Caelifera, Metahaglida taxon nov., in some taxa of uncertain position as Tcholmanvissiinae ); MP simple, exceptionally with few distal branches, strongly concave (autapomorphy within Archaeorthoptera); CuPa simple (exceptionally ramified in Oedischia ); CuPb simple; vein 1A simple, metathoracic legs with broadened femora (‘saltatorial’) (putative autapomorphy, unknown in numerous fossil taxa; reversed in some more recent Ensifera such as the Gryllotalpidae , among others).
Included taxa. Ensifera ‘ sensu lato ’ (see below) and Caelifera.
Discussion. The metathoracic legs are unknown in numerous fossil Archaeorthoptera. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most evident autapomorphies of the Orthoptera .
