Jeeze! Talk about a complex title! At least translate it for the dolts like me who can't even spell orthoptera, much less know what it is!
You could even copy and paste the abstract too - not that it would help on this occasion. Abstract
After being unrecorded for approximately 70 years, Aztecacris gloriosus (Hebard, 1935) (Orthoptera: Acrididae) is documented from several sites in the Pajarito Mountains, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA. An association with Broom Snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae) (Asteraceae) is suggested. The known range of the species is small and limited to Santa Cruz County. Habitat and associated orthopterans are discussed, as is an attempted mating by a male Melanoplus on a female A. gloriosus. Photos of A. gloriosus and its habitat are presented.
what's complicated about the abstract?

How do you not know what Orthoptera is? Absolutely shocking, for someone on this forum. There should be a quiz before you can join...

Dude, I thought it was a plant until they mentioned mating in the last sentence.
Zooboy, if there was a quiz, there would be about 10 people on the forum patting each other on the back (or ripping each others heads off) for knowing (or not knowing) about the latest reclassification of subspecies X.
