Acridinae
The grasshopper subfamily Acridinae, sometimes called silent slant-faced grasshoppers, belong of the large Family (biology), family Acrididae in the Orthoptera: Caelifera. Description In appearance, the species are often similar to those of the subfamily Gomphocerinae, with whom they share a slanted face. However Acridinae differ from Gomphocerinae in that they lack Stridulation, stridulatory pegs on their hind legs and thus, as the common name suggests, do not make sounds. The Antenna (biology), antennae of this species is flattened and sword-like, a trait also shared with some gomphocerines and also with the spurthroated grasshoppers (subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae). They lack the posternal spine seen in the spurthroated grasshoppers and Romalea guttata, lubber grasshoppers (subfamily Romaleinae). Hind wings in this species range from nearly colorless to colorless. Tribes and genera The Orthoptera Species File lists the following: Acridini Auth.: MacLeay, 1821; distribution: ...

Acridini
Acridini is a Tribe (biology), tribe of insects in the subfamily Acridinae, of the insect Family (biology), family Acrididae and are sometimes called "silent slant-faced grasshoppers". It was firstly described as ''Truxalis Conicus'' in 1781 Description Insects of this tribe are usually slender and like other members of the subfamily Acridinae lack Stridulation, stridulatory pegs and are silent.

Acrididae
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 (swarming grasshoppers) 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 (so they may be called "short-horned grasshoppers"Borror, Donald J. and Richard E. White. ''A Field Guide to the Insects of America North of Mexico.'' Houghton Mifflin, Boston: 1970. p. 78), and tympanal organ, tympana on the side of the first abdominal segment. Subfamilies The ''Orthoptera Species File'' (September 2021) lists the following subfamilies of Acrididae. The numbers of genera and species are approximate and may change over time. * Acridinae MacLeay, 1821 (140 genera, 470 species), Worldwide: temperate and tropical * Calliptaminae Jacobson, 1905 ...
