A higher classification of the Australian Acridoidea (Orthoptera). II.* Subfamily Catantopinae

Abstract

A classification of the Australian Acridoidea referable to the subfamily Catantopinae was undertaken within the framework proposed in Part I of this series. Five tribes are recognised: three very small, endemic, new ones; the non-endemic Cyrtacanthacridini, with very limited Australian representation; and the non-endemic Catantopini, with 22 subtribes, comprising 95% of the genera of Australian Catantopinae.
