Stolzia [1] is a genus of grasshoppers in the subfamily Incolacridinae (previously the monotypic tribe Incolacridini Tinkham, 1940; synonyms: Incolacri, Stolziini). Species have been recorded from India and Malesia. [2]
The genus Stolzia differs from genera of Catantopinae by having an asymmetrical epiphallus (male) and in females, the dorsal valves of the ovipositor are apically broadened, rounded and distinctly serrate. [3]

Note: five species, previously placed here, have been moved to the restored genus Incolacris Willemse, 1932 and S. vietnamensisStorozhenko, 2020 is now placed in the new genus Asymmetritania Storozhenko, 2021.
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.
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.
Conocephalus is a genus of bush-crickets, known as coneheads. It was described by Carl Peter Thunberg in 1815.
