Gray-brown grasshopper, hind tibia brownish-gray; wings yellowish at base, brown toward tip, size between 11-28 mm. Common in creosote-tarbush communities, with arbusticole life form, with graminivorous mandibular dentition, substantially modified to feed on preferred shrubs Flourencia cernua and Cordia parvifolia. Locally, it is restricted to inhabit in that shrubs, and is occasionally observed, perhaps in traffic on L. tridentate stems. It has been found in the upper and lower bajada, shrubby hills and occasionally in dune zones, but always on F. cernua or C. parvifolia. Its period of presence is considered from May to November, with the possibility of more than one generation per year.
