Gladiator Meadow Katydid
Orchelimum gladiator
Identification 4
As with all Orchelimum, the male cerci are very helpful for identification. Additionally, in this species, the "posterior lateral sinus of the pronotum is poorly developed," meaning the rear edge of the pronotum isn't indented very far. See the diagram in Figure 22 of Orthopter of Michigan.
