Oedaleonotus tenuipennis
Oedaleonotus tenuipennis is a species of spur-throated grasshopper in the family Acrididae, described by Scudder in 1897. It is native to western North America, primarily California. The species is distinguished from congeners by its narrow, slender tegmina (forewings) that are shorter than the pronotum. Seven other species in the genus Oedaleonotus share this characteristic short-winged morphology, though O. tenuipennis is differentiated by specific structural details of the tegmina.
