Description

Ephippiger ephippigger, male
In this genus, the bush crickets have very small wings and the pronotum resembles a saddle (the Latin name ephippium means 'saddle of a horse').
The atrophied wings of Ephippiger species are unfit to flight and only used for the emission of sounds (stridulation).
Distribution
Species of this genus are mainly present in Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Romania, Spain, Iran and Switzerland.
