The former family includes the Western grasshopper or locust (Caloptenus spretus) noted for the great extent of its ravages in the region beyond the Mississippi. In the Eastern United States the red-legged (Caloptenus femurrubrum and C. atlanis) are closely related species but their ravages are less important. They are closely related to the migratory locusts of the Old World. See Locust. |
