Trimerotropini
Guides
Circotettix
Circotettix is a genus of band-winged grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, containing approximately 9-10 described species. The genus is notable for its cytogenetic characteristics, with several species studied for chromosomal variations that correlate with geographic distribution. Species within this genus are distributed across western North America, with records from Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, and Kansas. Some species, such as C. rabula, have been subjects of thermal behavior studies examining altitudinal variation.
Conozoa
Conozoa is a genus of bandwinged grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, subfamily Oedipodinae. The genus was established by Saussure in 1884 and is currently classified within the tribe Trimerotropini. At least two species are recognized: Conozoa sulcifrons (Scudder) and Conozoa texana (Bruner). These grasshoppers are distributed across western North America, with records from the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The genus is characterized by morphological features typical of the Oedipodinae, including banded wings and adaptations for life in arid and semi-arid grassland environments.
Conozoa carinata
Ridged Grasshopper
Conozoa carinata, commonly known as the Ridged Grasshopper, is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is distributed across North America and Central America. The species has been documented in the southwestern United States, including New Mexico, where it has been observed in open, disturbed habitats such as parking areas. As a member of the Oedipodinae subfamily, it possesses the characteristic banded wings typical of this group.
Spharagemon
band-winged grasshoppers
Spharagemon is a genus of band-winged grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, containing approximately 9–10 described species distributed across North America. Members of this genus are characterized by their association with sandy or loose soil habitats and their distinctive hindwing coloration patterns. The genus includes several well-studied species such as the mottled sand grasshopper (S. collare) and Say's grasshopper (S. equale), which serve as important indicators of sand prairie ecosystems.
Spharagemon bunites
Spharagemon bunites is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae, described by Otte in 1984. It belongs to the subfamily Oedipodinae, tribe Trimerotropini, a group characterized by banded or colored hind wings that are often concealed at rest. The species is known from California and is considered present in North America, though detailed biological information remains limited.
Trimerotropis pseudofasciata
Caerulean-winged Grasshopper
Trimerotropis pseudofasciata, known as the caerulean-winged grasshopper, is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It occurs in western North America and Central America. As a member of the genus Trimerotropis, it likely exhibits the cryptic coloration typical of this group, though specific details for this species are limited in the provided sources.
Trimerotropis santabarbara
Trimerotropis santabarbara is a band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae, described by Rentz and Weissman in 1981. The species is endemic to California and represents one of approximately 30 species in the genus Trimerotropis, a group characterized by banded hind wings and often cryptic coloration.
