Moved from Slant-faced Grasshoppers.

Hi, This is a pretty distinctive species, nothing else quite like it. I've never seen it commonly anywhere, but it is pretty widespread in southern New Mexico and Arizona. I only found one this year, and it got away before I took a photograph of it. It likes clumps of grass near something prickly, often ducking into a cactus for cover. The white tipped antennae are a good field mark, but I'm not certain if they all have the white (every living one I've seen does, but illustrations usually don't show it). They are slender, always with red hind tibiae and that bark-like coloration (gray to brown).
