Synonyms and other taxonomic changes
roughly equivalent to tribe Eritettigini Otte, and to tribe Amblytropidiini Brunner von Wattenwyl 1893 as recognized by several authors.
Identification
Moderately slender-bodied (but not "toothpick-like") with slanted faces; slender hind legs; front and middle femora not swollen in males; wings in most well developed and often longer than abdomen; tegmina slender in males and females; antennae slender but usually somewhat flattened, sometimes very slightly clubbed; fastigium covex with median ridge indicated; faveolae not visible from above (often absent in Amblytropidia.
Remarks
This seems to be a natural grouping, but some genera resemble Eurasian species of Chorthippus and related genera closely, while others resemble certaint tropical American genera closely (Amblytropidia is largely Neotropical in distribution).
