Psinidia amplicornis, known generally as the Caudell's longhorn grasshopper or Texas longhorn grasshopper, is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. [1] [2] It is found in North America. [1] [3]
The species is found predominantly in eastern Texas, USA [4] replacing P. fenestralis west of Louisiana. [5] Where the species meets P. fenestralis there may be some hybridisation and introgression and the species can therefore be hard identify in this area. [5] They are also reported in the very north of Mexico, below the species distribution in Texas. [6]
