Abstract

Trimerotropis aberasturii, a new species of band-winged grasshopper, is described from the mountains of north central Nevada. It appears most closely related to T. suffusa and T. verruculata. Trimerotropis aberasturii is distinguished from the other 2 species by a more extensive black hind wing band, features of the male genitalia, and geographic distribution.
