Chorthippus is a large genus of gomphocerine grasshoppers with around 230 described species mostly found in the Palaearctic realm. It was erected by Franz Fieber in 1852.Fieber FX (1852) Orthoptera Oliv. (et omn. Auct.) Oberschlesiens. Grundlage zur Kenntnis der Orthopteren (Gradflügler) Oberschlesiens, und Grundlage zur Kenntnis der Käfer Oberschlesiens, erster Nachtrag (Schulprogr.) 1-19.
The genus has been subdivided into subgenera including: Altichorthippus, Chorthippus and Glyptobothrus, with other species not placed.Orthoptera Species File (Version 5.0/5.0 retrieved 03 December 2021) It contains a number of morphologically very similar cryptic species: listed as superspecies or species groups, for example the Chorthippus biguttulus group which contains the common field grasshopper; in mainland Eurasia the various species are most easily distinguished by their song patterns.Bukhvalova MA (1993) The song and morphological characters of some grasshoppers of the Chorthippus biguttulus group (Orthoptera, Acrididae) from Russia and adjacent territories.
