The Melanoplinae are a subfamily of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. They are distributed across the Holarctic and Neotropical realms.^[1] They are one of the two largest subfamilies in the Acrididae. As of 2001 the Melanoplinae contained over 800 species in over 100 genera, with more species being described continuously.^[1]

Tribes and genera

The genera of the Melanoplinae are classified in 6 tribes, that include: Conalcaeini ( Nearctic), Dactylotini (Nearctic), Dichroplini (mostly Neotropical), Jivarini (Neotropical), Melanoplini (Nearctic) and Podismini (synonym Prumnini: widespread in northern hemisphere).^[2]
