Asemoplus is a genus of short-horned grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least three described species in Asemoplus. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
The Acrididae are the predominant family of grasshoppers, comprising some 10,000 of the 11,000 species of the entire suborder Caelifera. The Acrididae are best known because all locusts are of the Acrididae. The subfamily Oedipodinae is sometimes classified as a distinct family Oedipodidae in the superfamily Acridoidea. Acrididae grasshoppers are characterized by relatively short and stout antennae, and tympana on the side of the first abdominal segment.
These three species belong to the genus Asemoplus. [2] [3] [4]
