Compilation d’un nouveau logiciel pour l’identification des espèces d’insectes orthoptères

Abstract

In this work consists in the development of a software allowing to identify some species of grasshoppers insects based on the identification key of L. CHOPARD. The software "ORTHOPTERISTE" accurately identifies a multitude of these insects (198 species spread over 19 families and 85 genders) belonging to two suborders ENSIFERA (49%) and CAELIFERA (51%). With its interactive graphical interface, guiding the user, step-by-step, the software starts by identifying the sub-order then the super-family then the family and gender, finally arriving to identify and precise the studied specie. Identification is based on etymological, morphological and physiological differences between the said insects.
