中国直翅目螽亚目物种信息数据集

A dataset of Ensifera(Insecta:Orthoptera)in China

螽亚目Ensifera昆虫现存15000余种,多于蝗亚目Caelifera昆虫,包含15个总科,以植食性和杂食性为主,较少集群为害农作物,个别种类还是重要的天敌昆虫。本数据集收集了截至2013年在中国有分布记录的直翅目螽亚目昆虫的物种信息,涵盖5总科17科537种,每条物种信息内容包括分类信息、形态特征、分布信息、参考文献及特征图片。本数据集可为相关类群的分类学、生物地理、生态学研究提供数据支持。

There are over 15,000 existing species of Ensifera affiliated to 15 superfamilies,much more than their allies of Caelifera.They are mainly phytophagous or omnivorous,unlikely to do harm to crops,and a few of them are even natural enemies of insects.This dataset collects information on all the species of Chinese Ensifera insects to the year 2013,covering 537 species under 17 families and 5 superfamilies.Each entry records taxonomical,morphological,distributional data and their references,as well as pictures showing the insects’diagnostic characteristics.The dataset effectively supports studies on taxonomy,biogeography,ecology and other related subjects.
