Ocneridia

Ocneridia is a genus of grasshoppers belonging to the family Pamphagidae. These grasshoppers are primarily found in arid and semi-arid regions of North Africa and the Middle East.

Ocneridia species are characterized by their robust bodies and often possess camouflage coloration that blends with their desert or steppe environment. They are typically wingless or have reduced wings, reflecting their terrestrial lifestyle.

Their diet consists mainly of grasses and other herbaceous plants available in their habitat. Like other members of the Pamphagidae family, they can be considered agricultural pests under certain circumstances, especially when populations reach high densities and they consume crops.

Further taxonomic classification and specific biological details vary amongst the different species within the Ocneridia genus.
