Haglida

Male great grig Cyphoderris monstrosa, photographed by James Miskelly.

Belongs within: Ensifera.
Contains: Apohaglida.

The Haglida are a clade within the Orthoptera ancestrally characterised by the presence in males of a 'fan' in the forewings, an expansion between the branches of the posterior cubital vein. With the exception of the basal Hagloptera intermedia, most have veins RP and MA1 distinct in the fore wings (Béthoux & Nel 2002).

Synapomorphies (from Béthoux & Nel 2002): Forewings with RP posteriorly ramified, with its branches distally ramified or RP simple; handle (pseudo-vein between origin of anastomosis CuA+CuPaα and CuPaβ) present; fan present (reversed in some derived taxa); branches of CuA + CuPaα strongly approximate (reversed in some derived taxa).
