Pezotettiginae is a subfamily of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, found in southern Europe, northern Africa, and the Mediterranean region. There are at least 2 genera and about 10 described species in Pezotettiginae. [1]
Grasshoppers are a group of insects belonging to the suborder Caelifera. They are among what is probably the most ancient living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to the early Triassic around 250 million years ago.
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 two genera belong to the subfamily Pezotettiginae:
Pezotettix is a genus of 'short-horned grasshoppers' belonging to the family Acrididae subfamily Pezotettiginae.
Calliptaminae is a subfamily of grasshoppers.
Melanoplini is a tribe of spur-throated grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about 19 genera and more than 200 described species in Melanoplini, all in North America. Their biogeography shows that many species in the tribe have descendants from the Eocene epoch and Miocene epoch.
