Thanks a lot, bayucca. I have edited my spotting again accordingly.

Vincent, there is no Cyrtacanthacris tatarica linnaeus. Linnaeus is the first describer of the species Cyrtacanthacris tatarica and yours might be the subspecies Cyrtacanthacris tatarica tatarica. Please, delete the "linnaeus" in the species name. http://orthoptera.speciesfile.org/Common/Basic/Taxa.aspx?TaxonNameID=1112289 http://orthoptera.speciesfile.org/Common/Basic/Taxa.aspx?TaxonNameID=1112290
