Panzi-vichaka

Panzi-vichaka au panzi kichwa-farasi ni panzi wadogo sana (mm <10-25) wa familia Thericleidae. Takriban spishi zote hazina mabawa. Vipapasio ni vifupi na paji ni bapa. Femuri za miguu ya nyuma ni imara, lakini tibia ni fupi. Mara nyingi madume huwa na ruwaza ya nyeusi na nyeupe pamoja na miguu kijani, lakini majike ni kahawia na kijani kwa kawaida. Spishi kadhaa zinaweza kuwa na rangi kali kama njano, machungwa na/au nyekundu.

Panzi hao hutokea Afrika, lakini spishi moja imerekodiwa kutoka Uarabuni: Oncothericles arabicus. Takriban spishi 290 zimeelezewa, 65 kutoka Afrika ya Mashariki.

Wanaonekana katika vichaka na miti midogo badala ya nyasi na mimea yenye majani mapana. Hukiakia usiku, alfajiri na alasiri. Hula majani ya vichaka na miti.
