Hieroglyphus banian (Fabricius, 1798)
Hieroglyphus banian is an annual millet pest grasshopper in Acrididae found in India, with a Schistocerca-like olfactory neuronal pathway.
Hieroglyphus banian, described by Fabricius in 1798, is a species of grasshopper that belongs to the family Acrididae. In India, it is an annual pest that attacks millets, including sorghum, pearl millet, and finger millet. Its eggs need a specific seasonal cycle to hatch: a period of dry summer followed by monsoon rains. This species has an olfactory neuronal pathway that is remarkably similar to the pathway found in Schistocerca.
