Insect or Invertebrates Identification - DONE

[ExFmem]

If we get 5 new entries a day, it will only take us 54.7 years to achieve our goal of 100,000.

It's a good thing you're so fast Toko!

Does not match anything perhaps not Lamarckiana?

The yellow bar and the yellow stripe on the femur is quite distinctive

But I know it's a male

[nan]

invertebrate has a femur

[Toko]

upper part of leg = femur
lower part = tibia

also for insects

[nan]

femur and tibia I know... I broke them... many moons ago

you are right... insects have legs

Giant Rain Locust (Lamarckiana cucullata) male



The photo on the site we were both previously looking at was woefully inadequate for identification purposes, in my (never to be humble per Lisbeth ) opinion.
This one is pretty darned close

[Toko]

Yours is not the same, IMO.



The wings are much longer in yours

Lamarckiana:
Antenna in basal part strongly widened and compresed, with two wide medial segments and five apical, forming flagellum




Key to species.

Males.

1 (2). Larger, up to 63 mm. Antenna in basal part very wide, about as wide as longest diameter of eye. Fastigium of vertex as broad as its length. Excision at basal sulcus of pronotum comparatively deep. Prozona shorter than netazona; median carina in metazona straight and comparatively low . ...................... .. cucullata (Stoll).

2 (1_). Smaller, up to 50 mm. Antenna in basal part narrower than longest diameter of eye. Fastigium of vertex longer than its width. Excision at basal sulcus of pronotum shallower. Prozona as long as or longer than metazona.

3 (6). Fastigium of vertex about twice as long as its width. Wing infumate, the remigium darker than vannus. Crest of pronotum lower .

4 (5). Elytron exceeds end of abdomen by about one and a half length of pronotum. Head relatively small. Crest of pronotum very low....................... sparrmani (Still).

(4). Elytron exceeds end of abdomen by about the length of pronotum. Head relatively larger. Crest of pronotum higher. .......................................punctosa (Walk.).

6 (3). Fastigium of vertex about half again as long as its width. Posterior margin of elytron almost straight. Wing with infumate remigiumand sulphureous vannus. Crest of pronotum higher.

7 (8). Lower margin of hind femur roughly serrated. Metazona of pronotum moderately serrated . ...................... .. nasuta (Sauss.).

8 ((7). Lower margin of hind femur with small, acute teeth. Metazona of pronotum strongly serrated . .......... .. bolivariana (Sauss.).
