Paratylotropidia
Beutenmueller's grasshopper (P. beutenmuelleri)
Paratylotropidia is a genus of spur-throated grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, subfamily Melanoplinae, tribe Dactylotini. The genus contains at least three described species: P. beutenmuelleri, P. brunneri, and P. morsei. Members of this genus possess the characteristic spur-throat structure typical of their tribe. P. brunneri has been the subject of cytological study due to its unusual multiple chromosome system, with 19 chromosomes in diploid male cells including four V-shaped multiples.
