Catantopinae

Gumleaf grasshopper Goniaea australasiae, from Brisbane Insects.

Belongs within: Acridoidea.
Contains: Peakesiina, Apotropina, Coryphistina.

The Catantopinae, spur-throated grasshoppers, are a diverse group of grasshoppers (particularly in the Australian region) characterised by the presence of a tubercle or spine on the prosternum, and the absence of an external apical spine on the hind tibia (Rentz 1996).
