                                                        La SubFamilia Leptysminae

                                                          Los Leptysminae Amedegnato, 1974 (Orthoptera, Acrididae) son langostas que poseen
                                                          un cuerpo generalmente alargado y baciliforme. Difieren de los demás Acrididae por
                                                          poseer en la tibia posterior los 2/3 distales semicilíndricos (achatados), generalmente con
                                                          expansiones laterales y por presentar los cercos de los machos recurvados para arriba
                                                          del epiprocto. Esta subfamilia está ampliamente distribuida en la región Neotropical por
                                                          la cual se extiende desde el sur de la región Neártica (con el género Leptysma Stal,
                                                         1873) hasta la latitud de Uruguay y Argentina Central, donde habitan numerosas
                                                         especies de varios géneros.
