Zonocerus
Zonocerus is a genus of grasshoppers (Caelifera) in the family Pyrgomorphidae and the tribe Phymateini.[1][2] The two species are found in Africa, with Z. elegans found more in central and southern regions, including Madagascar.[1] Both species are significant agricultural pests, especially for African smallholder farmers.
