Moved
Moved from Platte Range Grasshopper.

The large head with short "forehead", the structure of the frontal costa on the face, shape of the pronotum, and coloring of the wings all favor M. impexum. The inner face of the hind femur is not supposed to be this dark in this species, but everything else fits. I'm not entirely convinced that M. impexum and M. plattei are different species, but that will take more sampling in the field to prove one way or the other.
