The subfamily Catantopinae is a group of insects classified under family Acrididae. Genera such as Macrotona may sometimes called "spur-throated grasshoppers", 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.
Bandwings, or band-winged grasshoppers are the subfamily Oedipodinae of grasshoppers classified under the family Acrididae. They have a worldwide distribution and were originally elevated to full family status as the Oedipodidae. Many species primarily inhabit xeric weedy fields, and some are considered to be important locusts:

Species are found in, especially the warmer parts of: Central and South America, southern Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and Pacific Islands. The type genus is Pyrgomorpha and names dates from "Pyrgomorphiden" by Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1874. The first use of Pyrgomorphinae was by Krauss in 1890.
Letana is a genus of bush cricket: characteristic of the tribe Letanini and placed in the subfamily Phaneropterinae. Species can be found in Asia: mostly India, China and Indo-China.
Traulia is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Catantopinae; it was considered typical of tribe Trauliini, but is now placed in the tribe Mesambriini. A majority of species found in South-East Asia.
Eucoptacra is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae and subfamily Coptacrinae. Species can be found in: Africa, India, Indo-China, peninsular Malaysia and Borneo.
