The Cyrtacanthacridinae are a subfamily of Orthoptera: Caelifera in the family Acrididae. They are sometimes referred-to as bird locusts,[2] criquets voyageurs in French-speaking Africa,[3] and Knarrschrecken in German. It includes species of locusts: that undergo phase polymorphism and are among the most important pests of sub-Saharan Africa;[4] they include the desert locust and the red locust,[3] with the related Nomadacris succincta in Asia. One of the characteristics of members of this subfamily is the prominent peg between the fore-legs: hence the name for the Australian Spur-throated locust.
