What's the difference between orthoptera and orthopterous?
Orthoptera
Definition:
(n. pl.) An order of mandibulate insects including grasshoppers, locusts, cockroaches, etc. See Illust. under Insect.
Example Sentences:

(2) The major chromomeres of pachytene chromosomes 6 and 11 in the oocytes of Acheta (Orthoptera) are regions of amplification for ribosomal RNA cistrons (28 S and 18 S).
(3) A survey of 10 closely related species of Orthoptera indicated that high levels of cyclic GMP in the accessory gland occur in the subfamily Gryllinae, to which A. domesticus belongs.

(5) Cysticercoids of Staphylocystis furcata (Stieda, 1962), the adults of which parasitize the shrews (Soricidae), were found in the thoracic and abdominal cavities of orthopterous insects (Orthoptera, Acridioidea) belonging to five species: Chorthippus apricarius (L.), Chorthippus paralellus (Zett.
(6) The application of a combined HPLC-RIA methodology to estimate immunoreactive PGE2 levels in two insect species, namely, males of the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus (Orthoptera, Gryllidae) and males and females of Blattella germanica (Dictyoptera, Blattellidae) is reported.
(7) In addition to two species of Teleogryllus, three other species of Orthoptera and nine out of ten species of Lepidoptera tested were susceptible to the virus.
(8) The use of polyclonal antisera directed against three peptides (ovulation hormone (CDCH), alpha, and beta caudodorsal cell peptide (alpha- and beta-CDCP) produced by the caudodorsal cells of the snail Lymnaea stagnalis resulted in positive immunoreaction in Sarcophaga bullata (Diptera), Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera), Locusta migratoria, and Periplaneta americana (Orthoptera).
(9) In oocytes of various species of crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) the amplified DNA is contained in a large extrachromosomal DNA body.
(10) The skeletal muscle of members of Orthoptera and Diptera receives an innervation which is probably glutaminergic.
(11) The twitch duration of mesothoracic wing muscles of the male katydid Neoconocephalus robustus (Insecta; Orthoptera; Tettigoniidae) decreases rapidly within the first 5 days of adulthood, to about half of its value in newly molted adults.
(12) Its experimental life cycle achieved in Orthoptera Locusta migratoria allows the study of the three first larval stages.
(13) Orthoptera have been used previously for such studies.
(14) The genome of the African migratory locust, Locusta migratoria (Class Insecta, Order Orthoptera, Family Acrididae) contains an interspersed DNA sequence family, designated the Lm1 family.
(15) DNAs from three grasshopper species and three locust species (Family Acrididae, Order Orthoptera) have been characterised by a variety of biochemical techniques as part of a general investigation of their molecular evolution.
(16) We studied heterogeneity, amplification and size of Acheta domesticus (insects; Orthoptera) ribosomal DNA and characteristics of male and female somatic or germ line rDNAs by analysis of genomic clones from a conventional and a microclone library.
(17) In insects, immunostaining of only the A1 type of the protocerebral median neurosecretory cells was revealed in all species tested of Odonata, Dictyoptera, Isoptera and Orthoptera and in 2 species from the 9 other orders out of 13 orders tested.
(18) The protein exhibits a bipartite structure: glycine-rich region located in its NH2-terminal part and a carboxy-terminal domain sharing homologies with other cuticular proteins of Orthoptera, Diptera and Lepidoptera.
(19) A tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TrpRS)-immunoreactivity is localized in various neurosecretory cells of all ganglia of the central nervous system of the Orthoptera Locusta migratoria, except in deutocerebrum, and in endocrine cells of the midgut.
Orthopterous
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the Orthoptera.
Example Sentences:
(1) Cysticercoids of Staphylocystis furcata (Stieda, 1962), the adults of which parasitize the shrews (Soricidae), were found in the thoracic and abdominal cavities of orthopterous insects (Orthoptera, Acridioidea) belonging to five species: Chorthippus apricarius (L.), Chorthippus paralellus (Zett.
(2) The jumping muscle of orthopterous insects contains fibres that possess an intrinsic rhythm (IR) of slow contraction.
