Dull grayish, brownish, or green, often with small darker spotting and often with a pale "X" on the back of the pronotum. Slender in form with pronotum noticeably wide at the back, narrow in front, with hind angle above rounded, with no prominent ridges on top (median carina is present but weak); head small with relatively large eyes; legs long and very slender, with two to four dark spots on the top of the hind femur; wings clear, usually faintly bluish toward base. Males are much smaller than females. Spaniacris is similar in appearance, but with eyes even larger, legs even longer and more slender, and with a prominent pattern of pale markings tending to stripes. Other similar species that might be found with and confused with A. integra are considerably smaller; or, have the thorax less narrowed toward the front with the head proportionately larger, and mostly with hind wings more strongly pigmented, often with a dark cross band, and often broader. |
