Cyrtacanthacridinae
The Cyrtacanthacridinae are a subfamily of Orthoptera: Caelifera in the family Acrididae. They are sometimes referred-to as bird locusts, ''criquets voyageurs'' in French-speaking Africa, and ''Knarrschrecken'' in German. It includes species of locusts, short-horned grasshoppers that undergo phase polymorphism and are among the most important pests of sub-Saharan Africa; they include the desert locust and the red locust, with the related Bombay locust in Asia. One of the characteristics of members of this subfamily is the prominent peg between the forelegs: hence the name for the Australian Spur-throated locust. Genera The following genera have been included with a single tribe separated: Cyrtacanthacridini Auth. Kirby, 1910; worldwide distribution (mostly tropical and sub-tropical) # ''Anacridium'' Uvarov, 1923 # ''Chondracris'' Uvarov, 1923 # ''Cyrtacanthacris'' Walker, 1870 # ''Nomadacris'' Uvarov, 1923 - monotypic ''N. septemfaciata'' # ''Ornithacris'' Uvarov, 1924 ...

Acrididae
The AcrididaeMacLeay WS (1821) ''Horae Entomologicae or Essays on the Annulose Animals'' 2 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, 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 (12 genera, 90 species), Africa, Europe, Asia # Caryandinae Yin & Liu, 1987 (3 genera, 100 species), Afric ...
