Catantopinae

The subfamily Catantopinae is a group of insects classified under family Acrididae.[1] Genera such as Macrotona may sometimes called "spur-throated grasshoppers",[2] but that name is also used for grasshoppers from other subfamilies, including the genus Melanoplus from the Melanoplinae. Indeed, the delimitation of these two subfamilies needs restudy: the Podismini for example are sometimes placed here, sometimes in the Melanoplinae.

gollark: The trouble (for, I don't know, someone) is that you can't simultaneously make the text available to the user one way (onscreen) and not another (copying it).
gollark: Probably not *legally* (curse you, moronic copyright law!) but still.
gollark: Well, you can just extract the text.
gollark: What does NTS stand for again?
gollark: Ah, just one of those odd things where the units come out interestingly.
