Ephippiger is a genus of Palaearctic bush crickets described by Berthold in 1827, belonging to the family Tettigoniidae, subfamily Bradyporinae and tribe Ephippigerini. Description Bush crickets of this genus 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 for flight and are only used for the emission of sounds (stridulation).
Ephippiger est un genre d'orthoptères de la famille des Tettigoniidae. Description Le genre se distingue par son pronotum en forme de selle, parfois très relevé au niveau de la métazone, à l'arrière du sillon typique. L'arrière de la tête est, quant à lui, parfois marqué de noir.
