“…We found more species than were recorded by Weiss et al (2012) in pastures in Germany (S = 13), by Pocco et al (2010, 2013 in grasslands of Argentina, but less than recorded by Kemp (1992) for rangelands in the United States and by Andersen et al (2001) in Australia (S = 40). Gomphocerinae and Melanoplinae were the most abundant subfamilies of Acrididae, coinciding with other communities of Acridomorpha in grasslands of the south of South America (Cigliano and Lange 1998;Torrusio et al 2002;Pocco et al 2010;Lorier et al 2016;Zerbino et al 2016).We found common grassland species like Dicroplus elongatus, Dicroplus pratensis, Scotussa lemniscata, Laplatacris dispar, Amplytropidia austra lis, and Orphulella punctata , and others associated with wetlands and aquatic and semiaquatic areas, like Lep tysma argentina, Haroldgrantia lignosa, Metaleptea adspersa, Chromacris speciosa, and Zoniopoda iheringi (Carbonell et al 1967;COPR 1982;Bentos-Pereira and Lorier 1991).…”
