Taxonomic Note

The provided context sources primarily discuss Aeropedellus clavatus (Thomas), a commonly known as the clubhorned grasshopper. This is a different from Epitranus clavatus (Fabricius, 1804), a chalcid . The similar specific epithet 'clavatus' and the truncated 'clavatus' in source lists creates potential confusion between these unrelated species. Epitranus clavatus is a hymenopteran , not an orthopteran herbivore.
