    Hi Ernst, I cannot confirm the ID, due to lack of knowledge of this group, but I've created the species as requested, for you to decide. Cheers, Arp Posted 7 years ago

    Arb thank you. I am also absolutely no expert on grasshoppers . I will look into it in more detail befor I put on the species.
    I compared a photo on the www. brisbaneinsects.com on family Acrididae. It looks to me the one but just not 100% sure.
    Thanks Ernst     Posted 7 years ago

        The head shape is different . Adreppus has a more oval and rounded head compared to Coryphistes ruricola .But am I 100% sure. - No
        Sorry for the late reply but had to travel 2000 km south which took time         Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 years ago

          I don't understant what you are saying here. Are you suggesting a new ID for this photo - Coryphistes ruricola instead of Adreppus fallax?
          Coryphistes ruricola is not mentioned in the link above. Do you think the specimen from the link is Coryphistes ruricola instead of Adreppus fallax?           Posted 7 years ago

The Common Adreppus

Adreppus fallax Sjöstedt, 1921, the Common Adreppus or Stem Grasshopper is a grasshopper in the family Acrididae native to Australia. It's colours give it excellent camouflage on bark of trees, not unlike Coryphistes ruricola (Bark Mimicking Grasshopper), another common species from the same family.
