The Alutacea Group of the genus Schistocerca Stål consists of six closely related North American species.  Although the species in the Alutacea Group are large and showy grasshoppers, the group is taxonomically poorly understood mainly because of the inadequate work by Dirsh (1974). 

Here I recognize the following species forming the Alutacea Group.  You will be able to find rich information on each species by clicking the appropriate names from the left menu.
