Scapteriscus abbreviatus
''Scapteriscus abbreviatus'', the short-winged mole cricket, is a species of insect in the mole cricket family, Gryllotalpidae. It is native to South America but has been introduced inadvertently into Florida, in the United States. Unlike other related species, it is unable to fly, nor do the males emit songs in order to attract females.
==Description==
''Scapteriscus abbreviatus'' is a medium-sized mole cricket with a length of from . Its leathery forewings are shorter than its prothorax and its membranous hind wings are shorter than its forewings, rendering it unable to fly.〔 Members of this genus are characterized by having two sharp claws and a blade-like process with a sharp edge on their forelegs. Other mole crickets have three or four claws.〔Rodríguez, F.; Heads, S. (2012). (New mole crickets of the genus ''Scapteriscus'' Scudder from Colombia (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae; Scapteriscinae). ) ''Zootaxa'' 3282, 61–68.〕 ''S. abbreviatus'' can be distinguished from the other members of its genus found in Florida, ''S. borellii'' and ''S. vicinus'', by examining the two claws on its front leg. They diverge slightly and the distance between them at the base is equal or greater than the size of a claw base. The other two species have forewings that are longer than their prothorax, and hindwings that exceed the length of their abdomens.
