A grasshopper in the genus Diabolocatantops, subfamily Catantopinae, family Acrididae.
□ This may be the species Diabolocatantops innotabilis (no specific common name) or Diabolocatantops pinguis, which look much alike. The latter usually has a dark marking at the top of the hind-leg femur near the body, and Diabolocatantops innotabilis usually does not, so this may be the species Diabolocatantops innotabilis.
