Ateloplus coconino

Ateloplus coconino is a shield-backed katydid species described by Hebard in 1935. It belongs to the family Tettigoniidae, a group commonly known as bush crickets or katydids. The species is known from the southwestern United States, with records from Arizona and California. As a member of the genus Ateloplus, it possesses the characteristic shield-like pronotum that extends backward over the abdomen, a trait that gives these insects their common name.
