Psinidia amplicornis, known generally as the Caudell's longhorn grasshopper or Texas longhorn grasshopper, is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae.[1][2] It is found in North America.[1][3]
Distribution
The species is found predominantly in eastern Texas, USA[4] replacing P. fenestralis west of Louisiana.[5] Where the species meets P. fenestralis there may be some hybridisation and introgression and the species can therefore be hard identify in this area.[5] They are also reported in the very north of Mexico, below the species distribution in Texas.[6]
