'''Gomphocerinae''', sometimes called "'''slant-faced grasshoppers'''", are a subfamily of grasshoppers found in every continent except Antarctica and Australia.<ref name=bg/><ref name=pfadt1994/><ref name=osf/> There are at least 192 genera in this subfamily, further dividing into at least 1,274 species. Gomphocerinae species are most often found in swamp, desert, tundra and tropical rainforest environments. The defining characteristic of these insects is the uniformity and location of their femoral stridulatory mechanism.<ref name="Jago">{{cite journal |last1=Jago |first1=Nicholas D. |title=A Review of the Gomphocerinae of the World with a Key to the Genera (Orthoptera, Acrididae) |journal=Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia |date=1971 |volume=123 |pages=205–343 |jstor=4064675 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/4064675 |access-date=13 November 2025 |language=en |issn=0097-3157}}</ref><ref name="PeerJ">{{cite journal |last1=Wang |first1=Li |last2=Chen |first2=Jianyu |last3=Xue |first3=Xiaobao |last4=Qin |first4=Guoqing |last5=Gao |first5=Yuanyi |last6=Li |first6=Kai |last7=Zhang |first7=Yulong |last8=Li |first8=Xin-Jiang |title=Comparative analysis of mitogenomes among three species of grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acridoidea: Gomphocerinae) and their phylogenetic implications. |journal=PeerJ |date=2023 |volume=11 |article-number=e16550 |doi=10.7717/peerj.16550 |doi-access=free |pmid=38111661 |pmc=10726767 }}</ref>
