Acridini[1] is a tribe of insects in the subfamily Acridinae, of the insect family Acrididae and are sometimes called "silent slant-faced grasshoppers"[citation needed]. It was firstly described as Truxalis Conicus in 1781[2]
Insects of this tribe are usually slender and like other members of the subfamily Acridinae lack stridulatory pegs and are silent.[3]
