She is X. corallipes
I think the ones around Cedar City are more like the ones to the north and west. However, not far to the south, they start to look more like ssp. pantherinus.

Cedar City is out of the range of X. montanus, but Pardalophora haldemanii is there, and is also very similar.

Moved from Grasshoppers, Crickets, Katydids.

Xanthippus
In X. corallipes, the forewing spots are normally quite large, particularly at the base, an also less numerous, so this could be X. montanus. The inner hind femur colour had me leaning towards X. corallipes. In any case, David will clear it up.

Xanthippus seems reasonable
I believe X. corallipes corallipes down in Utah. David will be able to say with certainty so wait for his input.
