Copiphorini
The Copiphorini are a tribe of bush crickets or katydids in the family Tettigoniidae. Previously considered a subfamily, they are now placed in the subfamily Conocephalinae. Like some other members of Conocephalinae, they are known as coneheads, grasshopper-like insects with an extended, cone-shaped projection on their heads that juts forward in front of the base of the antennae.
Description
Species in the tribe Copiphorini vary in length from about. In most species, the female is considerably larger than the male, and in some, the largest male is smaller than the smallest female. Like other members of the cricket suborder Ensifera, they differ from grasshoppers in having filamentous antennae that are longer than their bodies. Most species have loud songs which enable them to be identified. The call is made in most instances by the two fore wings rubbing together. Some species can hear with the aid of hearing organs in the tibia segments of their legs. The ovipositor is straight and slender and bears no teeth.
