Proscopides

Proscopiidae[1] is a family of Neotropical grasshoppers, now placed in its own superfamily, the Proscopioidea.[2] Some species may be known as stick grasshoppersorjumping sticks. Within the family Proscopiidae, there is 34 genera and 228 different species.[3] The proscopiids are herbivores and feed on a variety of plants in a variety of environmental conditions. Due to the insects being herbivores, they also have the ability to cause significant damage to the agriculture of their neotropical habitat. Identifying Proscopiidae is extremely difficult due to their close resemblance to a couple of other species of insect and the fact that the proscopiid taxonomy is far from complete.[4]

Subfamilies and selected genera[edit]

The Orthoptera Species File lists three subfamilies, with several genera unplaced:[2]
