Grasshoppers are important species of insects but comparatively little information is available in the literature on morphology of species of the genus Acrotylus (Fieber). No significant efforts seem to have been done to study their external morphology, which forms the basis for ascertaining the characters of taxonomic value for the correct identification of this important group of insects. The present study investigated the comparative external morphology of three grasshopper species, Acrotylus humbertianus (Saussure), A. insubricus (Scopoli) and A. longipes longipes (Charpentier) on the basis of key characters. These species are very closely related with their morphological characteristic features, which are difficult to key out, this study will create easiness for the future researchers.
